Retailer will have miniature replicas by spring (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toyshop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'retailer will' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'miniature replicas by spring' is the wordplay.
'miniature' becomes 'toy' (synonyms).
'replicas by' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'spring' becomes 'hop' (hopping is a kind of springing).
'toy'+'s'+'hop'='TOYSHOP'

'have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toyshop that I've seen before include "Emporium favoured by children" , "Source of amusements" , "Hamleys, say," , "Establishment selling playthings" , "Heavenly place for a child perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
