Amazon is considering buying some Toys R Us locations, according to Bloomberg News. Toys R Us filed for bankruptcy in September.
It announced last week it would close or sell all of its U.S. locations .
But there was some discussion of a potential buyer saving some of those locations. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
Sources say the goal of a purchase would be to use the stores' physical locations for Amazon's own endeavors.
Amazon launched Amazon Go, cashier-free brick-and-mortar stores, in January, and it purchased Whole Foods last year.
If a purchase goes through, online competition will have officially ended Toys R Us.
Web retailers like Amazon were major contributing factors to the company's downfall.
