ToysRUs is Back in Australia with new owners

[KELPIE]

Good news I guess, however as far as online stores are concerned, the competition is already heavy.

I'll be interested if they are able to do something to push the pricing standard down but I doubt that's something they'll do.

Site is up, going to look around some more but hopefully Transformers range gets better.

EDIT: Was kinda looking at Strongarm and half of that short page is also out of stock. Cool.

Seems mainly RID and Titans Return stuff, except for a couple of statuettes. Unless it picks up it seems like it may simply be an outlet to move old stock.

It's just the stock from their HobbyWarehouse website under the TRU name....

Notice the counter with the number of toys available on the main page???? refresh the page and it goes back to where it started..... it's just a video to make you think they are setting more/better stuff up

Guess it's a bit like Dick Smith after Kogan bought it's website.

It's interesting to see that they were basically "given the keys" to all of the old TRU internet sites, including the old social media pages that appear to have been kept alive, but cleansed. Even their website appears to be the old website, just updated.

I do remember the TRU social media still posting after it closed which was super weird, seems this was on the cards for some time.

So there’s no chance a ‘real’ TRU will ever come back here now?
