Does anyone here remember last semester when I talked about how Toys R Us had teamed with Amazon and if you go to toysrus.com it just went to an Amazon storefront? Well, I guess that's no more.
As of March, Toys R Us and Amazon split ways after a nasty court battle. Back in 2000, Amazon and Toys R Us agreed to team up, supposedly making Toys R Us the exclusive toy vendor on Amazon.com. However, Toys R Us sued, arguing that Amazon had begun allowing other merchants to sell similar toy items through Amazon.
The courts ultimately agreed with Toys R Us back in March, and now Toys R Us runs its own toy store on its website. Toys R Us claims that they are one of the largest merchants on teh Internet, so they are happy now to now have to share revenue with Amazon.com anymore.
