    A few years ago they took out Austin Powers toys because it said horny. How the times have changed. I think this meth ish is indeed overboard.

    Also think TRU should drop the toys and I support all the soccer moms calling for them to quit.

    Exactly. If it's truly appalling or immoral enough it'll hurt then in sales a few months down the road. As it stands? I doubt they lose a single cent because a few moms are offended.

    and this is the free market at work. Their main target bread and butter audience are soccer moms who will go and pay $30 for a toy thats only $20 on Amazon. If the soccer moms don't want it there, guess what it's not gonna stay there.

    Now they can deflate their outrage boners. What a win for family values!

    I had no idea these toys were out there until I heard the angry mom story yesterday. I immediately went to the Toys R Us on Bunker Hill to get my hands on a couple, but the display was empty - either sold out or pulled from the shelves.

    I was gonna get two of each, one for collection and an extra to play with. I love being an adult.

    I can't wait until Bryan Cranston shows up at Susan Schrivjer's house and tells her that he is the one who knocks.

    "Why ya'll *****ing up my money" - Action Figure stars

    Can a kid store be just for kids?
    If you want the d*mn things why not go to WalMart?
    Is it that big a deal
    Must all things be availabe in all places?

    It's not like they are outlawed. . . . sheesh

    If your kid sees it in the store, knows what it is and wants one, then you are the problem.
