can get past some of the horror stories.

And to this day,
some cities wont let you put a waterbed in a rental property without taking out
special insurance for it. And your

on the show that he was the kid that played Mike in the Willy Wonka movie, but
people were blowing up twitter when they saw him on there.

The company is going
to try and save about 200 of the stores by selling them off if they can find a
buyer, so theres still a chance that a few stores may survive, but its looking
real bad for the toy seller.
