For either TRU, BB or CC, plan on being there until at least 11:00 or until both FedEx and DHL come. I would personally go to TRU (considering they seem to be getting big shipments), but have the phone numbers for BB and CC and call them on your cell while you're waiting at TRU.

So I should hit up target first right? Then Toys R Us and Hang around.....My best buy is retarted...they have no idea with shipments, Ill probably mosey over to Circuit city

Nice thanx K!!!

On this Wii seeker it says that the wii for target will be coming 1-3 - 1-5 so i think its targets turn this week then next week is wal-mart becuase it says 1-8 - 1-10 so this week is Target and the next week is Walmart but you should TRU at all times. But for me i cant try shit cuase i have school tomorrow.

SoCuteNY · 01-03-2007, 02:06 AM

^^^^I'm ditchin school...I almost done anyway lol!!

I guess im gonna change my major to Couch potato/wiiologist

I hope I can get one tomorrow, my body can't take the abuse of getting up at 8am and going store to store until 2pm much longer.

I'm kind of doubting the whole going store to store strategy. As I mentioned before, I watched people miss a wii by minutes because they didn't wait around for the shipments to arrive. I say pick a store and call around to other stores while you wait. IMO, TRU is the store to be at this week.

Also, are you located in NJ? Have you considered going to the Nintendo World store? Yes, you'd have to get there early, but you'd be basically guaranteed a console. Just a thought.

I live in South Florida and did the same thing this am. Went to two Targets first, then CC, then BB, then walmart and then around noon time I stopped at toys r us. I asked a clerk if they had any Wii shipment and he said they just got some in and only one was left. I went to the register and saw a guy purchasing the second to last one and there was one person ahead of me, so I figured I was SOL. To my surprise the guy in front of me did not buy it, although he was talking to his kid about how great the system is. WOW, after weeks of searching I finally landed one and have been enjoying it ever since. I wish all of you the best of luck in your search, it is well worth it. Be persistent and patient. A gal at CC did mention to try on Wednesday. If I hear anything else I'll post.

Wow, that certainly contradicts some of the stuff that I had been hearing. Where did you hear this about Nintendo World? It makes me even more appreciative that I got my wii today, 'cuz I was going to haul myself to Manhattan this weekend (a 2.5hr trip each way). That would have s-u-c-k-e-d to go all that way for nothing!

I have a good feeling about most of the people on this board and TRU tomorrow. Just the fact that my TRU got about 15 units this morning tells me that Nintendo is looking favorably on them this week.

What's early and how do you know this is true?

I'm roughly 30 mins from NYC

Actually, this may no longer be true in light of what SoCute has said. But as for how early, I had been hearing 6:00am.

What time again did you say was good? 11ish? I'm going to be heading there first tomorrow since they got some today but I was too dumb to call/go there...

I hope they get another shipment.
