Shame, you could always find items not available in other shops.

Not so bothered about toys r us (although I feel for all the employees), but Maplins is a real shame. Hopefully they can find a buyer who can restructure the business.

They were/are eye wateringly expensive mind you so I'm not incredibly surprised
There must be an audience for a decent 'big boys toys' type shop though? The great thing about Maplins was that you could pop in for a mooch when the Mrs disappeared into Next/TK Max for a fortnight.....more often than not you wouldn't buy anything because of the prices but I will miss them as well. |

Talks with a potential buyer have failed and they've gone into administration.
