Stop with the hopium and tinfoil. $GME is up 35% from this month’s lows. Enough said.

🧵 $GME × Toys “R” Us Canada

GameStop reopening select closed stores sent me down a rabbit hole.

I found some interesting connections.

Some are FACT 🟢
Some are TINFOIL 🥫

Keeping them clearly separated. 👇

1/ FACT 🟢

GameStop recently announced select previously closed stores are REOPENING.

Meanwhile, collectibles have become a huge part of the business:

• $356.3M Q2 sales
• +57% YoY
• 45.1% of total sales

$GME isn’t just a video game retailer anymore.

2/ FACT 🟢

Meanwhile in Canada:

Toys “R” Us Canada went through CCAA restructuring.

Its Canadian IP was sold separately from most physical operating assets.

The buyer named in the purchase agreement:

AD POPULUM, LLC — “or its nominee.”

3/ FACT 🟢

Ad Populum is controlled by Joel Weinshanker and operates a large toys/collectibles ecosystem including:

NECA
WizKids
Kidrobot
Rubies
Diamond-related assets

others.

GameStop already sells products from this ecosystem.

4/ FACT 🟢

The Toys “R” Us Canadian trademarks ultimately transferred July 13, 2026 to:

NEXT CENTURY IPCO CAN ULC

The original agreement allowed Ad Populum to use a nominee.

This strongly points to Next Century being the entity used to hold the acquired Canadian IP.

5/ FACT 🟢

Now the interesting part:

Weinshanker has DIRECT history with GameStop.

MovieStop originated from GameStop.

Weinshanker later acquired MovieStop through an acquisition vehicle, with GameStop’s remaining preferred interest redeemed in the transaction.

6/ FACT 🟢

There was even:

GameStop, Inc. v. Joel Weinshanker

A federal contract lawsuit.

So this isn’t just:

“NECA products happen to be sold at GameStop.”

There is documented historical business interaction between Weinshanker and GameStop.

7/ FACT 🟢

Look at the ecosystem overlap:

$GME:
🎮 Gaming
🃏 Cards
🧸 Collectibles
🏪 Retail

Ad Populum:
🧸 Toys
🦸 Collectibles
🎭 Licensed IP
📦 Distribution

Toys “R” Us:
🦒 Massive toy retail brand/IP

Interesting pieces.

But…

8/ TINFOIL 🥫

I found NO evidence that:

❌ GameStop owns Next Century
❌ Ryan Cohen owns/invested in it
❌ RC Ventures invested in Ad Populum
❌ GameStop financed the TRU deal
❌ Cohen + Weinshanker are working together

Important distinction.

9/ TINFOIL 🥫

Still, the timing caught my attention:

TRU Canada IP changes hands → Ad Populum/Next Century.

Ad Populum already overlaps with GameStop’s collectibles ecosystem.

Then $GME starts selectively REOPENING stores after years of optimizing its footprint.

Could be completely unrelated.

10/ 🥫

But IF these ecosystems ever became more closely aligned:

GameStop retail + gaming + cards + collectibles

PLUS

Ad Populum toys + licenses + distribution + TRU IP

…that’s an interesting physical retail combination.

BIG “IF.”

11/

So NO:

“GAMESTOP IS BUYING TOYS R US!!!”

There’s no evidence of that.

The actual DD:

🟢 Weinshanker ↔ GameStop history
🟢 Ad Populum products ↔ GameStop
🟢 Ad Populum → TRU Canada IP
🟢 TRU trademarks → Next Century
🟢 $GME selectively reopening stores

The bridge connecting all of it?

🥫 Not found.

Yet.

I need more wrinkles 🧠 digging through corporate records, filings and connections to see if there’s anything deeper here.

If anyone finds a DIRECT link between Next Century / Ad Populum / Weinshanker and RC Ventures or current $GME — drop the receipts.

Until then:

Facts = facts. 🟢
Tinfoil = tinfoil. 🥫

But this one is going on my watchlist. 👀

$GME 🚀

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

$GME

It would be hilarious if @ryancohen landed at 10% of GameStop with a $7.41 average… or $8.0085. BOOBS. 😂

At a $24.20–$25 average share purchase price, back-of-the-napkin math says exercising all his warrants plus buying another ~6.59M shares could get him there if the warrant exercise price were lowered to:

👀 $9.87–$11.28 → $7.41 average
😂 $18.02–$19.43 → $8.0085 average

And yes, GameStop’s warrant agreement actually allows the company to lower the exercise price, subject to applicable rules.

Pure tinfoil math, not a prediction. Assumes nobody else exercises and no other share-count changes—otherwise the 10% calculation moves.

Imagine the filing. 😂

@marketswithmay 50% cash, 50% stock… geez..

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

@evantindell @todaystropics @BuyerveeSellers @tonitrades_ Chicken or the egg bro, you cannot issue shares to increase market cap.. you issue those shares , SP drops leading you back to the perceived market cap…

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

$GME’s bid for $EBAY is basically a setup move.

No matter what $EBAY does:

Ignore → $GME gets attention
Reject → $EBAY looks defensive
Engage → validates $GME
Counter → could push $GME higher

Deal may not happen—but $GME still wins the narrative.

(Speculative, not advice)

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

6/
And here’s the wild part:

Even that POSSIBILITY likely pushes $GME higher.

So $GME kind of engineered a win-win:

ignored → attention
engaged → validation
countered → upside

Your move, @eBay

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

@gamestop just threw a grenade at eBay.

And now $EBAY can’t really ignore it.

🧵 (Speculative — not advice)

1/
$GME offering ~$125/share for $EBAY = roughly a $55–60B deal.

GameStop is way smaller than that.

This isn’t a normal acquisition. It’s a statement.

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

5/
Now the interesting twist (speculation):

What if $EBAY flips it?

👉 “We’ll acquire $GME instead.”

They keep control, save face, and go on offense.

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

@MrBeast If i am the sole like, i will split the money with all who like my tweet…

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

Genuinely curious:

Do you see this as just normal cycles of global instability…

or do you think these kinds of pressures are accelerating change faster than expected?

What’s your take?

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

Not gonna lie… something feels different lately.

Remember how fast everything changed during COVID-19?

One minute life was normal… then suddenly:

Work from home
Online everything
Daily routines flipped

It didn’t feel planned. It just happened fast.

[CrypStonk @_CrypStonk]

Big shifts usually don’t happen because everyone agrees.

They happen when conditions start pushing behavior in the same direction.

EVs, solar, alternatives—
they’re no longer just “future tech” to a lot of people.

They’re starting to feel like options people have to consider.
