    If I was - it was unintentional as I was actually talking about Toys R Us loosing money on things like Baby Clothes and prams & Babies are us in general - to much competition on that stuff.

    But that said The Last Knight was not as great sucess as it could have been. They even said the ended the line early. Which isn't so bad as they had Studio series ready to take it's place - I suspect some things they might have had to drop from the cancelled Last Knight Later waves would just end up in that line anyway - but I think they always planned to end it pretty quickly anyway due to the poor shelf life on specific movie toyslines in general these days.

    Order it for you and get it to you in 3 to 5 days? Unless the shipping is free you’re not going to top Amazon. The failure of the store to keep stock up to date isn’t something that should be paid for by the consumer.

    Cool to read the clarification. It didn't sound like a rebranding but rather a misleading headline, having read the original article.

    You can in the UK you can deliver from the website to your home but I agree about the food as I brought the subject (I work there) and asked if one day there's still there did through other outlets but people don't know.

    In Japan, there's no official Ikea delivery service (no lorries). I live near Japan's flagship centre (in Chiba) and they use the local post office to deliver items. We can't order from the website. I thought that was the whole point to Ikea's business model; they want you to go to their shops and not online?

    Agreed. Indeed, I'm surprised that TRU Canada found it necessary to do the clarification, but I'm glad they did so.
