New TRU locations?

[DELTAprime]

I think the idea was to break the large Masters spaces up into several shops, like a mini-shopping centre, TRU being one of several tenants.

Yeah someone bought the Masters store in Rockhampton and is making it into a small shopping centre.

Makes sense. Shows how much I know then

Do we really need more TRU stores though?
They closed down for a reason.

Yeah, we really do. Unless you have one in your city (mine is an hour drive away, and then an hour back) you can't get store exclusives

[ZoonMaster5000]

We don't have any so 1 or 2 would be nice down here

I've got one 10 minutes away and I still can't get store exclusives.



Really toy stores are up against cheaper department stores for the mainstream stuff and the internet for the exotics. That leaves a thin band of the slightly unusual for them to make their money with.

Seeing stores filled with Transformers collectables might look great but arguably it means that it is shelf warming and the store should be selling something else.

There was an article from the beginning of the year that the disused Masters sites could be turned into home centres.

Not a sighting per say but something to watch for.

The Home Consortium is going to reopen some old Masters as malls. The interesting bit is that they are including Toys R Us.

The two OLD locations are North Lakes and Tingalpa.

Not being a frequent per user of the QLD sightings thread, I missed that. I did do a brief bit of searching of threads to see if there was a better place to put the original post before starting a new thread and couldn't find anything.

Sorry for the double up.
