They have been reconfiguring their business needs for several years now. I don't know about the KB part though. That part sounds like nonsense to me.
Toys "R" Us Holiday Express is a new series of smaller stores in the United States and Canada opened during the 2009 Christmas shopping season.[12] The Holiday Express stores are much smaller than regular Toys "R" Us locations, often located in malls, and offer a more limited selection of merchandise than would be available at a normal sized standalone Toys "R" Us store. In opening these stores, many of which were located in former KB Toys locations that had not been occupied since the chain's closure in February 2009, Toys "R" Us sought to gain mall customers, take advantage of vacancies in malls and shopping centers, and attempt to fill the void that the KB stores had left behind.[12] Toys "R" Us had planned to close all of these stores by mid-January 2010, but some stores did so well that they were kept open well past the targeted closure dates.[13] The stores that remained open dropped the "Holiday" from their names and became simply known as "Toys "R" Us Express" stores.

Interesting... I've always had a soft spot for the smaller toy stores, glad to see those return. I'm not being hopeful on them opening one in the Allen Premium Outlets, as there's a regular Toys 'R Us in The Village at Allen on the other side of the highway. Then again, stranger things have happened...

A larger selection of Animated and I'd be all over it(since I was late to that party).

Yeah, me too. I could really use that Voyager Prime and Grimlock.

I do not own a giant Bumblebee figure. The biggest I was willing to buy was Human Alliance. Anything else is just too big unless you are a Bumblebee fan.
