All 735 Toys ‘R’ Us retail stores across the country will be shuttering their doors soon, as the toy-giant is sadly the latest victim of America’s ongoing retail apocalypse. Not all is bad news in toy-town though, especially if you’re a fan of heavily discounted Apple products.

According to multiple Reddit users who’ve lucked out thus far, some of the 180 Toys ‘R’ Us locations currently conducting their store closing sales are offering deep discounts on Apple products — from the Apple TV, to iPad and iPod touch models, and even accessories — while they last, and where they’re still available.

Most are reporting that the deals are available in-store only, and range from location to location. Some examples, as spotted in the clearance aisles, include a fourth-generation Apple TV priced at just $75, and an iPod nano for just $54, among other steals.

Some have indicated that no Apple products were found upon visiting their local Toys ‘R’ Us location, suggesting that these deals are available on a store by store basis, only. Currently, there are no discounted Apple products available online via toysrus.com, and these discounts only apply to the select locations that are closing their doors very soon.

AppleInsider says they were able to independently confirm that at least 80 percent (four out of five) locations indicated, upon being contacted for comment, that they’ve indeed placed their available inventory of Apple products on clearance with everything else.

Due to the logistical nature of shuttering so many big box retail locations at once, it should be noted that every store’s inventory will vary depending on availability and the time of its respective closing — so if your local Toys ‘R’ Us doesn’t appear to be offering anything yet, it’s very possible that they could in the near future.

Once a booming retail giant (and every kid’s favorite store) Toys ‘R’ Us has fallen on hard times in recent years and was forced to file for bankruptcy protection back in September, 2017, following a failed attempt to “turn itself around.” As a result, the 70-year-old retail chain announced debts of over $5 billion, and is expected to layoff as many as 31,000 employees between now and the end of 2018.
