I have no idea how this works. I doubt that if TRU goes under that it would automatically cancel your credit card debt, since you have the card through a bank TRU is affiliated with and not TRU directly. Unless that's not what you meant, however.

From the article:

"The downfall of Toys “R” Us can be traced back to a $7.5 billion leveraged buyout in 2005, when Bain Capital, KKR & Co. and Vornado Realty Trust loaded the company with debt."

True...my local collectible store is usually $5-$10 more than TRU. But once you add in shipping from online retailers it'll probably even out. Either way we can expect to be paying more for our toys in the near future. Fucking bummer.
