“This deal is getting worse all the time!” After disappointing holiday sales, Toys R Us plans to close another 200 stores. What a shame. The Wall Street Journal has the full story.

It has just been announced that Toys R Us will be closing a staggering 180 of its stores in the USA. See if your local store is on the list. CNBC has the full story.

Toy World Mag is reporting that Toys R Us has sought a bankruptcy extension in the USA. Check it out!

If you have been having your Forces Of Destiny Princess Leia Organa and R2-D2 set continually cancelled by ToysRUs.com, we have learned right from the source that this retailer is not getting stock. (We’re not entirely sure if that means just onlint or both online and brick and mortar. We just received word that it’s not coming.) If you’re waiting for it, you should probably order it from other sources like GameStop or Entertainment Earth.

Found! The Black Series [Phase III] wave 15 figures have been found at Toys R Us in Ft. Wayne Indiana! We exclusively revealed what figures would make up part of this case assortment last year. Sadly, as expected, the First Order Stormtrooper is exactly the same as the 2015 figure. (Hasbro, you really couldn’t update the helmet?) And even worse, Captain Phasma has not been given her staff and still has the same bulky body. Oh well. Special thanks to JTA reader Ian D. for the alert!

The Rey (Starkiller Base) Vs. Kylo Ren/Poe Dameron Vs. First Order TIE Fighter Pilot/Finn (Takodana) Vs. FN-2199 Toys R Us exclusive six-pack is another perplexing release. See why this Rogue One exclusive doesn’t make too much sense in our Research Droids Reviews today!

You can take advantage of Toys R Us’ Buy One Get One 40% ff sale. It will save you some money. JTA reader Agustin from Miami FL got the TRU exclusive Force LInk sets for $21 a piece.

Ugh. Toys R Us is cancelling orders for the Forces Of Destiny Platinum Edition Princess Leia Organa (and R2-D2) set. Let us know if you experience better luck. Interestingly, you can still pre-order it. My order has no expired or declined credit card issues either.

After a sad turn of events with retailer giant Toys R Us in the USA, it has just been announced that they will be closing one quarter of their retail locations in the United Kingdom. Our friends at Fantha Tracks have the full story.

You saw our report that the Rapid Fire AT-ACT was going to be part of Toys R Us’ Black Friday sale this year, and it looks like we have some quantitative proof right now. Although full price, this store has allocated retail space for them prior to Black Friday. JTA reader Augustin found this at his local Toys R Us store this morning. It will be interesting to see how well these move at $99.99. Let us know if your stores are getting these also!

The TARGET exclusive Return Of The Jedi three-pack is either a Toys R Us exclusive or general release item in Canada. JTA Canadian reader Steve B. lucked out and found this great set at his local Toys R Us in Vancouver. Get me one! Why doe the American version have to come so much later? Great find, Steve!

JTA reader Richard F. has found the previously announced life-size BB-8 remote control figure. Made by Spin Master, it retails for $229.99. This sample was found at Toys R Us.

UPDATE: This product was incorrectly identified as life-size. It isn’t. Thank you.

Jedi Temple Archives has a source who knows one of the salespeople at TRU, (a fellow collector by the way), who met with Hasbro France’s sales representatives in September. (It sounds like a game of “Operator” already, doesn’t it? It has to be untrue, right?) In this session, there was a Q&A session. Our source was able to submit his own question that this TRU salesperson would be able to ask Hasbro. His question was about case assortments for The Black Series 6″ line. The answer made us feel sad. (more….)

If you live in Canada, you should probably check out ToysRUs.ca because they’ve placed all of their The Black Series 6″ figures on sale, including the pre-orders for new items. Special thanks to JTA reader Andrew D. for the alert!

You can order the new Kylo Ren and Rey Forces of Destiny 2-pack at ToysRUs.com now. It also qualifies for free shipping. They also have the TRU Exclusive Force Link Starter Set with Praetorian Guard and First Order Executioner up for pre-order. I’m not sure if that $10 Off coupon will work for this in stores, so if you try it let us know!

UPDATE: For some reason, it’s no longer letting me add the FOD to my cart and only allowing for store pickup. When I posted it, I was able to check out so keep checking back to see if it gets fixed.

Retailer Toys R Us has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This action will allow them to work with creditors to hopefully turnaround their current financial status. Toys R Us will operate in a “business as usual” fashion for the foreseeable future. The NY Times has the full story. (This is the “big announcement” we let you know was coming last night.)
