I hate Wal-Mart. It has next to nothing for LEGO, maybe like 10 sets. Zellers has a junky selection too. Toys R Us is where I get most of my LEGO. Same with Winners. TLC better not get out of the Building Toy Market. They really have to smarten up with their products. If they do, people won't buy so many MB and will cause in more LEGO sales. LEGO will then have more money for better designs and quality. That will cause more people to go to TRU for the better selection, and TRU won't shut down. (I hope.)

This is kind of off topic, but what does the "R" in Toys R Us stand for?

One toy company isn't enough to keep Toys R Us afloat, no matter how great their toys are.

I'm thinking that tru will end up as a video game store. I have no evidence, but it seems likely.

The only thing that makes TRU better than Target is that they sell Orient Expedition...

Of the two TRUs near me neither one stocks much Lego at ALL. They are down to half an aisle of "Building Toys" and of that the vast majority are Mega Bloks, or Duplo like stuff.
Plus prices are higher, the store is always a mess. I wouldn't me sad at all to see them go.
