I don't advise loitering inside the store (for very long anyhow).

Just got a tip from a Walmart in New Hampshire...customer service guy said that trucks get in at 10:00am & to check back around 10:15.
Edit: Just spoke with a second Walmart in Southern NH, who claimed that the truck comes between 9:00-10:00am.
I suppose the tip here is to hit Walmarts today between 9:00-10:30.

A lot of people don't trust Wiiseeker, but it does give some indication for those who are too lazy to surf forums like this to hear the rumors themselves.

I got mine at around 2:00 pm yesterday at Circuit City, after checking a couple EBGames. I saw the FedEx truck outside and got excited, even thought they still had a sign up that said "Wiis SOLD OUT". I was looking around the store to ask someone, and I grabbed the store manager by chance and asked him. They had just gotten a shipment in. The girl working at the Customer Service desk where they sold it seemed reluctant to give it away and said there were only 2 of them! She asked the manager, "We're supposed to sell them all?" Seemed like she wanted to keep them for her or her buddies. Hmph! So, Circuit City is getting them in, even if it is in rediculously small quanitities. I really hope this helps, guys! Don't lose hope!

yea
Yep, they don't want you to camp  , they don't want you to call  , they don't want you to loiter  , they don't pre sell  , they don't make a list  , they don't want anything to do with a customer that wants something they don't have at the present moment

I called another Walmart in Massachusetts and got someone, umm how do I say ... friendly. He said that if the wii comes in a walmart truck they have the ability to track it themselves, but the wii has been coming in ups and they can't track that, so the 10am rumor is just guessing.

Oh happy day! Woke up at 7:15 am. Checked wii seeker. They said targets might have some. Thought what the hell lets head over. They had 18 apparently. Limit 1 though, was going to buy a friend one. But anyhow, my search is over. Thank you all for your tips. Run to target right now guys! Best of luck to you all.

the best part of this all is the chase, lol. Mainly trying to get one before those ****ers who don't have a job and all they do is keep on buying Wii's to sell them online. agghhh and the biggest problem is that they got the scoop.

We need to team up! I'm from southern NH, and work in MA. I stopped at a target in southern NH this morning, and they didn't have any. They said that the delivery times are random (FedEX) and they never know when the delivery will contain Wiis. I'm stopping by a gamestop and Walmart near my work around noon. I'll keep you posted...
