Alrighty, BB it is. Do you have anyone who could camp with you? Would you be safe if you camped? Ack! I don't know, maybe 6am would be okay, esp. if everyone else is at Target. So hard to say. How many people are tracking wii's in your area (on itrackr)? I guess it all comes down to local demand.

Well since my Target allready told me the 21st the last time I was in, thats my plan. And since I only have 2 people in my area tracking the wii on wiitracker, Im feeling confident about arriving around 7. Worst case Senario, I will just go over to best buy if its not early enough at Target. Hopefully this will finally be over soon.

Stay vigilant, though - you may get an itrackr alert for a CC in your area before the 21st. Oh, and if you DO get an alert and you get there before opening and there's a sign in the door saying that they have no Wiis, don't believe it. The CC I lined up at on the 11th after getting an alert had a sign up saying they were sold out. A few people drove up before opening, looked at the door and left. I don't know if it was because of the sign or the small line, but the first couple that looked and left would have gotten Wiis had they stood in line with us. They did have 7 for sale at the customer service counter...

Still, if you have to wait until the 21st, that ain't so bad! Good luck!

Has anyone heard if the big wii-fests on the 21st will also include 'motes and 'chucks? Those are as scarce as the consoles from what I've seen...

Good luck to you all who are still looking. My advice is to work with people in your area (like you have been) to watch out for each other. I got mine because my brother knew I was looking and saw that folks were getting them at Target. It'll happen eventually... believe it or not, Nintendo wants you to have a wii.

Check out UPS's webite:

http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/res...operation.html

MLK day is listed as "recognized" but not observed, meaning UPS delivers today.

I got Wiimotes and nunchucks at retail price. $39.99+8.25% tax+$7 shipping for each Wiimote. $19.99+8.25% tax+$7 shipping each nunchuck. I paid that much for each and I am willing to let them go for that if you pay the 3% paypal fee so im not losing any money. I have at least 15 of each. PM and we can get this rolling. If you live in Europe then you have to wait for me to have money and I will ship. Im paypal verified and have 100% ebay feedback. I know a lot of people still need these so im willing to let them go.

Ha, Highly doubtful. I have had Itrackr for almost 3 weeks now, and it has not updated ONCE since I got it,for ANY of my stores. And thats tracking 7 stores. Check my zip if you like, 61601.

If Itrackr had costed more than 2 dollars, Id be formally writing up a complaint with them. And asking for my money back.

I just want to post my daily plea, to not forget Toys R Us when you're out looking (particularly on the East Coast). To my knowledge, most TRU stores still receive their shipments via DHL, which usually arrives from 11:00-1:00.

And I just want to again make sure everybody knows that the Target sale on the 21st has been confirmed.
