But, in historical context, ToysRUs ran the traditional, mall based old-line department stores out of the toy business a few years ago. They were, at that time, considered a category killer. Once they drove out the competition, they got fat and lazy. If WalMart does the same, new competition will be generated.

There are still K-Bee toy stores in malls. Those are the only ones I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of TRU, either, I just despise WalMart and what they are doing with cheap chinese goods to the American consumer.
