I couldn't find a phone number for their distribution centers, but I called a local Target again and asked them when they get their shipments( I didn't mention anything about the wii). The employee said they get shipments on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 4am and 5am. I'm going to call ANOTHER local Target to see if they say the same thing.

I suggest you guys do the same.

I just got off the phone with another Target and they said that they get shipments EVERYDAY @ 4am.

Hrmm... Looks like I'll be camping behind Target at 4am and doing some recon. J/K

Well, It looks good. Looks like I'll be going to Target tomorrow morning before work. =D

What made everybody think that the distribution centers will be delivering the Wii's? I know last week it was UPS/FedEx. Did something change/new info?

I went to Target everyday at 8am the week starting Dec 18 and came up empty. I then started going to places at noon, but I have been one step behind.

I know for a Fact Wal-mart and Gamestop get their Wii's via UPS or FEDEX (Usually around Lunch time). I think Target gets their Wii's from their own trucks from distro centers.

The Target in my city told me it comes from Fedex/UPS (can't remember which one). They may get them from both. Last Wednesday, their Wii's came from FedEx/UPS and not the distribution center. That is why places are putting them out around noon.

I still don't know about tomorrow. Good luck but I think wednesday is slightly more likely than tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon maybe but the morning might not be as fruitful as you all believe.

My advice is never to ask them when they will get them. First off I'd call the operator and ask that person whether or not they get them. I feel you'll get the most honest answer that way.

Go in the morning if you think you'll find one, then call and ask the operator every so often if they don't.
