They for the seeker might not be the staff. If itrackr tell you 1 hr ago. you go now and might have a chance to get one. Or call them first to make sure they have.

See my above gloating!!!

Maybe you can call them one day before to make sure they have stocks. if they don't, it might be mid-day or nothing.

FYI. My boss mentioned she was going to Target at lunch today. I mentioned jokingly for her to ask if they had any wii's. I got a call 15 minutes later that they had 10. I asked her to see if they would put one aside for me as I ran to my car. By the time I got there, she was standing there with my wii in hand all ready purchased. She said that within 10 minutes of the guy mentioning that he had one, they were gone. She had asked the guy to hold one and he was about to when his boss walked up so she went ahead and bought it. Yay! I love my boss!

Another target had told me last night that they are getting shipments every night and that if I called at 8am and they had them, that he would put one aside for me. That store didnt have any this morning. Its pretty hard to tell what the policies are for putting them aside for you.

Good luck everyone!

I think target will get shipment everyday 10-10:30. If you can't get one today, try tomorrow.

also, ebgames told me that they will have some shipment tomorrow too but he doesn't confirm.

Don't go too early. They won't have stock when they just opened. I went target this morning and they said that they don't have wii but I went there around 11:00. they just got the shipment.

I got my Wii yesterday afternoon. I'm so happy

The iTrackr website told me Wiis were available at some targets in my area. So I called the first target store and they said they had 8 Wiis left. They sold out of Wiis just as I got there. But I asked the lady if she could do a merchandise search in all target stores for me and print it. It turns out there was 21 Wiis at another Target (8.8 miles away). By the time I got to the second Target Store, two Wiis were left; I bought one Wii and I also bought Zelda for 39.99 at Target too

Good luck to everyone thats still looking for a Wii.

Sitting here listening to more successes as the day goes on is getting my blood boiling :-P I wish I could drive.
