Toysrus Canada has filed for protection from creditors.  This is sad, but based on the amount of physical stores they have closed, and the fact that they charged the most of any of the action figures they carried, this comes as no surprise.

I hear ya, but its quite a bit more complex then that. Not sure its worth going into though.

Well thanks to that putz Putman they are pretty much done now.

I think there are 10 stores left until January 2027 and I doubt they'll be any interest by then so that should be the end of them.

The one next my hometown, Whitby, closed on August 19.  Spirit Halloeen moved in.  Sigh.  At least my kids got to experience TRU a few times before it went tits up.  I still remember going there as a kid in 1986.  I got the HAVAC and my brother got the Thunder Machine that year.   

Thinking back, that TRU store was the last one tied to my childhood. The others that I can recall are Consumers Distributing, Zellers, K-Mart, Woolco, Sears, Eatons, The Bay, and Bi-Way.  All gone.
