    BBC News Toys R Us UK goes into administration


    Toys R Us has gone into administration, putting 3,000 UK jobs at risk.
    Moorfields has been appointed to begin "an orderly wind-down" of the UK's biggest toy retailer.
    The corporate recovery specialist said that all stores would remain open until further notice.
    Joint administrator Simon Thomas said: "Whilst this process is likely to affect many Toys R Us staff, whether some or all of the stores will close remains to be decided."

    Exactly.. way too expensive. I predicted this just like Blockbusters, they are no longer needed with the likes of Amazon undercutting them by a massive margin.
    I reckon XMAS has kept em going for years otherwise they would have vanished years ago imho

    Combined with Maplin that is 7000 potentially unemployed :-(

    On very rare occasions, there would be a requirement to go into Toys R Us. Every single time, the store was like a ghost town. Bored looking staff (if you could find one) and yes, ridiculously overpriced.

    Smyths Toys has been the downfall of Toys R Us I reckon.
