Great sale for the domain industry and all around nice to see. Toys R Us is pretty much THE toy store these anymore so they deserve it. Good to see a company know the worth of a elite domain like that.

How is Toys R Us doing these days? Seems like their stores are just a big version of the WalMart toy section. There really isn't anything special there anymore.

they are doing just fine obviously ;)

btw, the #1 result for toys on google and #3 result on yahoo is www.kbtoys.com

which is another bankrupt company, kb toys, that was around for ever... that totally called it quits few weeks ago

that domain is now parked :Oh crap


toys industry sucks !

BlackCrayon 02-27-2009 08:23 PM

heh, this domain was auctioned off like two weeks ago, toys r us refused to bid more than 1 mil and lost, apparently the sale didn't go through and its back and now they bid 5 mil.

DaddyHalbucks 02-27-2009 10:43 PM
