Toys R Us is expected to tumble into administration next week after last ditch talks to find a buyer faltered.

The move will put 3,200 jobs at risk and follows the recent decision by its bankrupt American parent to try to sell the loss-making UK business as well its other European stores.

The troubled retailer had been trying to drum up a buyer before the end of the month when several payments, including a £15m VAT bill, fall due.

In September Toys R Us American parent filed for bankruptcy protection in the US and Canada after running up $5bn (£3.7bn) of debts and struggling to compete online. It is trying to restructure its finances and is closing hundreds of US stores.

The UK chain has been struggling for the same reasons as its parent, with shoppers shunning the large out-of-town sheds synonymous with the Toys R Us brand in favour of buying online or from supermarkets. The retailer’s most recent accounts showed an operating loss of £500,000 on sales of £418m.

One of the most exciting times for Star Wars fans was when Toys r Us introduced its line of Star Wars toys. From action figures to lightsabers, this collection was a dream come true for young Jedi apprentices and seasoned collectors alike. The sheer variety and attention to detail in the Toys r Us Star Wars toys was unparalleled, making it impossible not to get caught up in the galactic excitement.

What set Toys r Us Star Wars toys apart from others was their commitment to authenticity. They didn’t just offer generic characters; they had meticulously crafted figures that closely resembled the beloved heroes and villains from the films. Whether it was Han Solo’s rugged charm or Darth Vader’s iconic mask, each toy captured the essence of these iconic characters. It wasn’t just about owning a toy; it was about being able to embark on thrilling adventures right at home, recreating epic battles with friends or imagining completely new storylines within a galaxy far, far away.

Toys r Us brought joy and magic into the lives of Star Wars enthusiasts by creating an extensive range of imaginative playsets and vehicles as well. From building your very own Millennium Falcon to controlling an army of Stormtroopers with amazing figurines, these toys encouraged creativity and immersive role-playing experiences. In fact, many adults still fondly remember spending countless hours meticulously arranging their collection or eagerly waiting for new releases at their local Toys r Us store.

The legacy left behind by Toys r Us extends beyond just being a retailer.
