One of the things that was thought in many economic classes and finance classes is the basic concept of when something falls, another takes its place.

I am not sure this holds true. I do not see another replacing it. TRU cannot really be replaced and is a major blow not just to the industry but families and Christmas memories and a bit of happiness.

Similarly how KBs was never replaced. There will be some know nothing person claiming, it's good that TRU will go, because....."insert unwitty, uneducated, not edgy comment here." But much like people shifting from the left to the right as they get older, those who are happy that TRU will go under simply lack knowledge and experience.

Sad that TRU couldn't make it. Death blow to those who love toys. Death blow to those who love competition. Death blow to those who love taking their kids to a toy store and watching their excitement. Death blow to those who simply loved being a Toys R Us Kid.

The future generation will probably never know what it was like going to a physical toy store and simply being blown away by the physical concept of seeing toys all around them.
