We wonder how smaller toy companies would survive without store space and target and Walmart seem content with there toy departments. SEARS! I know they are on life support but something like this could save them. SEARS used to have huge toy sections when I was a kid. Now that TRU is gone the competition is much weaker. Toy departments can get people back in SEARs again and what a convenience for mom and dad. The SEARs brand is not the same as Walmart or Target. SEARS won't have to reinvent the wheel just dust off some old manuals and catalogs. I know this would work if done right. Domino effect for the malls if these huge anchor stores stay alive.
But, in the end I am just a guy on the Tank with an idea!

I think Sears would have done better if they had just killed off Kmart a little quicker and invested more resources into saving solely Sears. Our local Sears is still surviving. The auto service center has a loyal clientele that has been built up over several decades, and a lot of people still like the craftsman tools (although I believe they sold that name to Black & Decker). So something like you're suggesting might have really helped them a decade ago, but not anymore.
