BBC News reports that the UK branch of ToysRUs has entered administration due to an inability to find a buyer. While it's currently unknown if the stores will remain open or not, it seems only a matter of time as holders of TRU-UK gift cards and vouchers are being advised to spend them while they can. But if you want to, you'll have to do so in-store as the online retail aspect of TRU-UK has been closed To be clear, this is only for the United Kingdom, not the US or any other territory.

If you have recently settled your Time to Pay agreement and collected your goods, then you are no longer a creditor of the company and nofurther action is needed.
If you have recently settled your Time to Pay agreement and but not collected your goods, then you should collect your goods from store as soon as possible.

Pay the balance for the merchandise they have included in their Take Time to Pay Agreement. The price of the merchandise will be the price in store on the day the customer settles the Take Time to Pay Agreement less the deposit that they have already paid; or
Purchase alternative goods that exceed the value of their deposit.

Arron Kendall and Simon Thomas of Moorfields Advisory Limited, 88 Wood Street, London, EC2V 7QF were appointed Joint Administrators on 28 February 2018. The Administrators now manage the affairs, business and property of the Company. The Administrators act as agents only and without personal liability.
It's unknown what impact, if any, this will have on other branches of TRU. Conceivably, as TRU-UK has apparently been operating at a loss for 7 out of the last 8 years per the BBC article, it could potentially be a net positive. Time will tell.
