Hasbro and Mattel are really only based on shelves in Toys'r'us.
Sure you can find them in Walmart etc, but not nearly at the same scale. Brick and Mortar stores like TrU need to go away, there isn't much value left besides being a place to take your kid to get their wish list for their birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah.
As new parents they are a great place to get to know some of the things your going to need/want on a daily basis. We also go like 300$ in credits from the baby registry there. Basically got our stroller and crib mattress for free. But overall we mostly purchase stuff second hand or on Amazon.

But not away from the HIV. LOL
But from the look of him, HIV would be scared of him, rather than the other way around.
