Unfortunately, no. The closest we get to Toys R Us is using their Toys R Us
Direct service which is a Canberra store, and doesn't ever seem to have much
of a Lego range (well, at least not what I'm after), and can't or isn't
willing to try and get sets from other TRUs. I have personally tried to get
sets from other TRUs by phone (if I know they're there in the first place,
that's where you guys come in and have been most helpful!) and have been
successful precisely once, and that was a lot of effort, several long
distance phone calls to incompetent staff, and when we did get a sale
through they forgot to post the parcel (long story here, excluded). I did
get it in the end but I won't ever attempt that again!
Oh, bring on Shop At Home (sigh).

Myer Hobart (where I usually buy most of my Lego) used to fit this
description, unfortunately it no longer does, mainly becase it's a victim of
the new Lego distribution system (it's that "regional" thing again). The
demise has only occurred over the last 6 - 12 months.
