Toys R Us Files for Bankruptcy in the US
-
@ultraalien Then I'd imagine that this could have a significant impact on Cartoon Network's sales figures for the Ben 10 reboot toy line. No, correction, Cartoon Network's sales figures for most or all of their toy lines.
@Andrew42 Really? You're going to threaten me? Especially considering that I'm a moderator on here and I can have you banned for breaking the rules and threatening to kill me. I take that stuff seriously, you know.
-
@tactical-ochoa look. I'm as much of a Ben 10 fan as you are. I have Aspergers syndrome too, and i hate that. I'm very passionate about the show in general, and I wish you would act more positive about it. You act less like a lover of Ben 10 and more like a joyless critic.

@andrew42 said in Toys R Us Files for Bankruptcy in the US:
@tactical-ochoa I swear to god if you're going to use this as another excuse to be negative about the reboot, I will kill you.
Wow that was extreme and uncalled for.
10 Years Of Hero Time!!!!
-
@omni-triforcer I formally apologize. I lost my temper.
Nobody gets to choose how it happens.

@andrew42 I accept your apology. That will be your only warning though. I have Aspergers' syndrome too but I know better than to threaten other people's lives for having different opinions and even though you're younger than me, you should know better too. Remember, I criticize the Ben 10 reboot because I CARE about the Ben 10 franchise. I want to see it get better. If given the chance, I would gladly improve the quality of the franchise for the betterment of itself and its fan and viewers. So yeah, we're good now.
I would also like to address this as well. To anyone that decides to support @Andrew42's comment where he threatened me, be aware of this. You are showing support for the idea that people should threaten and intimidate others because they have different opinions from you that you disagree and don't like, thus making the attempt to silence their voices. You are showing support for something that is gravely immoral and unacceptable. For something that should be universally condemned regardless of your views. Anyone that supports such an idea should be rightfully and deservingly called out for it. I'm looking at you too, @Mortie-10, considering that you up-voted that very comment, thus showing that you support this type of behavior.
As for @Omni-Triforcer, thank you for your response. You are very much in the right here. That very much was extreme and uncalled for. And good on you @Andrew42 for apologizing.
Alright, I'm done now. I would like to put this behind us and take this page back to its main topic. Once again, Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in the US. Considering that it's one of the major retail companies that Cartoon Network is using to sell their toy lines out of, including the Ben 10 reboot (since that this is a Ben 10 focused website), this could cause a pretty significant impact on CN's sales figures. CN may still have other means of selling their merchandise but still, I'd imagine that something like this can still cause a significant setback for them and their IPs and we all should know just how much Cartoon Network values their merchandise sales figures compared to the very shows that air on their network. These are my thoughts on this event and its connection to CN. Does anyone else like to share their thoughts on this as well?
-
@tactical-ochoa I just supported him because I liked that he was brave enough to say something like that to an asshole like you. Not that I want you to get killed. I wouldnt let anyone suffer that fate.
-
At least Toys R Us isnt bankrupty in Scandinavia
-
@mortie-10 Losing your temper and threatening someone's life just because they have a different opinion than you isn't brave. It's never a brave thing to do. It's stupid, childish, and disrespectful. Plus, it's also illegal.
-
@tactical-ochoa Im sorry that I exist in your life!!!
-
Oh good grief, can we all just cut down on the drama? And how the heck does this affect ben 10 directly? I've done the math. They sell a lot of toys. The reboot's not made for old fans, but for the newer and younger generation of kids. And it's actually a good strategy. it makes money. kids love it. THAT'S KIND OF CARTOON NETWORK'S GOAL. So please, can we all stop being butthurt fans and try to act a bit more positive?
-
@andrew42 FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO GETS IT!!!
-
Also, I wasn't threatening. I was basically trying to say it was getting annoying that he never acted positive.
Nobody gets to choose how it happens.
-
@andrew42 Your totally right.
-
...i'm probably getting banned, aren't i.
-
@andrew42 And you do that by losing your temper and threatening my life. Cut down on the drama? You're the one that started it. You got provoked and triggered because I asked a simple question. You say that I should stop being so butt hurt about the show yet you're the one that went on a temper tantrum over a simple question that I asked out of curiosity.
Toys R Us is one of the major companies that Cartoon Network is using to sell toys. Cartoon Network is notorious for cancelling shows for not selling enough toys. The Ben 10 reboot wasn't made to introduce Ben 10 to the new generation. Omniverse already did that. They say that's the reason the show was made but everyone already knows that they really made the show because they want to make more money. Yes, businesses need to make more money but there's a difference between needing to make money and wanting to make money and Cartoon Network wants to make more money; not need. Anyways, Toys R Us files for bankruptcy in the US. That means that stores are going to be closed down because Toys R Us can't pay back their debts, which means that Cartoon Network can't sell anymore of their toys out of those stores. In regards to the Ben 10 reboot, if the show doesn't sell enough merchandise, it gets cancelled. Toys R Us closing their stores down hurts Cartoon Network's profits in merchandise, which thus hurts their shows because their shows are making less money. So yes, this does have an effect on the Ben 10 reboot as well as Cartoon Network's other properties. It's already bad enough that the Ben 10 reboot is struggling with its viewer ratings.

@tactical-ochoa You're forgetting about Walmart, target, and every other major shopping place. They still have a lot of leverage. I am not being dramatic. My frustration is because you never want to be positive. You drone on and on about every problem you can find. Besides, if omniverse reintroduced ben 10, then those same kids are probably still watching and still loving the show.
Nobody gets to choose how it happens.

@andrew42 I stated before on here that there are other stores that also sell CN merchandise. I said Toys R Us filing for bankruptcy will hurt Cartoon Network and their shows. I didn't say that it will kill them.
I never want to be positive? I told you that there are many things that I'm positive about. I also told you that there are some things about the Ben 10 reboot that I do like and I told you what some of those things are. You were being dramatic because again, you started this drama. You are the one that caused it and all over a simple question that I asked out of curiosity. Don't you dare tell me that I drone on and on about being negative towards a show that I overall don't like when you and plenty of others users on here drone on and on yourselves about me making my own opinions that you guys dislike while I have mentioned plenty of times many things within the Ben 10 franchise overall that I am positive about. When you and plenty of other users are the ones that are instigating most of the drama that happens on this website.
