Toys Were Us...

As many of you may have heard this week, Toys 'R Us may actually get out of the toy business, thanks to competition from Wal Mart and other big box retailers that carry toys.

I believe this would be a disaster for the toy industry as a whole, and the doll industry in particular. Many commentators agree with me, including Stephanie Horvath in Toys 'R' Us closing could diminish entire industry. Hopefully, Toys R Us will come to its senses. If not, your only shopping choices when looking to buy a doll in the future may be Wal Mart, specialty toy retailers, or the Internet.
