Initially, because there's lots of product already on the water and in production that was meant for TrU, and that needs to go somewhere, so pop-up stores make sense to absorb that product. But there will be a need for more permanent stores, as Walmart and Target are probably not going to take up all the slack.

This afternoon I heard a report that the Toys"R"Us liquidation sale has begun (the eleventh-our plan to keep some of their stores open, via a new investor, apparently fell through).

I'm sure it won't be the same but I found a whole bunch of OOP stuff at KayBee Toys BITD. Loved going in there.

Circus World had 2 South Florida stores that I knew about, one was in the Hollywood Mall and the other was in a mall down in Cutler Ridge. I hit both of these stores just as they were going out of business (late 1990 /1991). I scored some great finds, including many kits that were form the late 70's. and many engines in pink blister packs. the other store that was here in South Florida that had a hord of model rockets when it closed was Lionel Play World. we had six Lionel Play World Stores in a 50 mile radius here in South Florida

Back in the mid 1990's, The KB out let in Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sun Rise Fl. sold rocketry items at a close out. they had launch packs of D12-3 Engines with wadding, I cannot remember how many engines came in the pack but they where priced less than $1.00 per engine . KB Out Let also had some very limited amount of Model Rocket Kits at about a 30% discount.

J, you would not even believe it, so much has changed, we have a Panera Bread, Starbucks, or Walgreen's on every corner. the Hollywood Mall is gone it is now a Cost CO and a Walmart Super Center ( 5 within 6 miles). Marlins Park took over the Orange Bowl, I haven't been down to Miami in more than 5 years, the last time I was at Crown Hobbies they were selling RC Cars and only had one short wall for Plastic Models and Model Rockets. Felix Hobbies sold out, and RC Hobbies the last Hobby Shop in Broward County Closed over a year ago. oh ya we Have 4 Hobby Lobby's in a 10 mile radius.

I was sad to see Orange Blossom Hobbies Close, that place was like Hobby Heaven. I don't think you could ever explain to people what that place was truly like. Orange Blossom Hobbies was TRUE AMERICANA. By the way Panera Bread Started as a Latin Bakery and is now a Upscale, Sandwich and Soup Restaurant.

I know I'd much rather be in South Florida during the heat of the SUMMER than ever in Alaska for ANY reason EVER.
