Would you like to pit your GI Joes, Marvel Universe, Vitruvian HACKS, Star Wars, or even Zombie Lab collection against some rampaging barbarian warriors? We've got some good news, then, because this Kickstarter is delivering you that chance! There are named characters, armybuilders, accessory sets... everything you could want from a toyline!
Allegedly.
Rumors have surfaced today that the companies who own the remnants of the Toys "Я" Us brand are attempting to bring stores back in time for Christmas this year. While no one from TRU has confirmed the rumor, at least one toy company has gone on record to say they have been pitched on the planned return.
The idea is that the new "Я" Us locations would be about 10,000 sq. ft. (a third of the size of the old stores - so think... local TV/appliance store size, maybe?) and would possibly sell toys on a consignment model, where companies wouldn't be paid unless things actually sold - so don't expect a lot of big sales or clearance prices. It's also likely some companies would be hesitant to work with TRU again, considering the money they would have lost when the store went out of business last year.
For now, we're excited about the return, but we'll believe it when we see it.

How is this video only 40 minutes long and not, like, three hours?
Best Star Wars movie.
Do you think Keanu Reeves finds the OAFEnet Email Update breathtaking, too?
Uh-oh, we did the theme week thing again! JOKES:
The Transformers BotBots are divided into (currently) 11 teams, based on what store in the mall they hail from. Series 2 takes us to a new wing of the mall, where there's only one electronics store, on the second floor. The Techie Team can be seen dancing out front, with Technotic Sonic boogieing on top of the mall directory.

We'd give you an Endgame spoiler alert, but statistically, you and everyone you've ever met has already seen the movie.
