They're gonna be closing or selling off their assets starting as early as this weekend, I'd imagine...I'm no doubt gonna poke around and pick the bones for good deals.

From what I've read they are gonna attempt to sell off some of the better-earning stores so I could see that being the case...though they would never be the same obviously.

The Toys R' Us in my area is very popular so I'd imagine that one somehow sticks around, but I'm still gonna go hunting for sales.

Toys 'R' Us still generated a strong operating profit and is an incredibly viable brand. Just like with Sharper Image or Hostess (remember the rush to buy Twinkies?), some firm will buy the brand and probably inventory and relaunch the company. This new version will not have the crippling debt that's been saddling TRU for the last decade, so it should actually be a better consumer experience.

I remember "testing" all the knock-offs when Hostess and Twinkies was on it's way out before it eventually made it's comeback...fun times.

Not really, and Twinkie potentially going out spawned a ton of new Twinkie knock-offs that kinda filled the gap while Hostess was being bought-out. I think had Hostess just went under it wouldn't have mattered too much; Hostess Twinkies started tasting awful maybe about 5-10 years ago.

Its wild TRU is closing.
The TRU we have here in Lakeland Florida just reopened like 3 months ago.
It had been closed for a few years before it reopened around December & now its being shutdown again.
