Acquisitions Dispositions [Abstract]
Acquisitions/Dispositions [Text Block]	10. Acquisitions/Dispositions During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2011, we sold idle properties for gross proceeds of $6 million resulting in a net gain of $2 million. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011, we sold idle properties for gross proceeds of $19 million resulting in a net gain of $3 million. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 31, 2011, the Company acquired a 70% ownership interest in Toys (Labuan) Holding Limited (“Labuan”) from Li & Fung Retailing Limited (“Li & Fung”) for a purchase price of approximately $80 million plus $5 million of contingent consideration. The terms of the agreement also provide us with the future option to acquire Li & Fung's 30% interest in the business and also provides Li & Fung the option to require us to buy their 30% interest in the business. As of October 31, 2011, Labuan operated 90 Toys “R” Us retail stores in Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. In our store count, these stores are considered part of our operated locations upon acquisition. Additionally, Labuan has sublicensed to a third party the right to operate stores in the Philippines and Macau. The results of operations of Labuan will be included in our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2011 from the date of acquisition. The Company does not expect this acquisition to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations in fiscal 2011. We are currently evaluating the allocation of the purchase price for our ownership interest in Labuan to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For each of the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2011, transaction costs of approximately $3 million were recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
