That sucks, I don't know if any are left or not. The future shop in Burlington (guelph line) was directing people to the best buy, as the futureshop also had some in this morning but were gone before 10:30am.

Yeh it really does suck. I got through to burlington BB and sold out. I've called all the walmarts in my area, toys r us, zellers, best buy, futureshop, real canadian superstore, ebgames..........Nothin. Its damn annoying.

No joy FS or Costco (Heartland) this morning. Will be hitting Zellers/EB/Walmart this afternoon.

panozg · 01-02-2007, 06:27 PM

Have been phoning all Futureshops in the Lower Mainland on the West Coast. They all have no idea when a new shipment is coming in. I guess the West Coast receives shipments at a later date even though Nintendo HQ is here. Did you guys in Ontario receive a shipment on December 29?

nicikatt · 01-02-2007, 06:39 PM

Buyers Beware!: Some store will lie their faces off to you on the phone about their stock because they already have enough buyers at the store. Talking to store employees on the phone is useless, unless you find one in a good mood and is not busy. Otherwise, they get lippy and you can even get hung up on. (I have. I called back and got they guy in trouble with his supervisor *F***ing loser*) I recommend going into stores and talking. While I realise this isn't as convient (I'm not accusing you of being lazy, trust me, I know you just can't get up and go to the store sometimes) Interview the bastards til your heart content. They have no choice.

So true. I had called Walmart a while ago (don't remember when), and they said they had none. Called Futureshop, they had two, so I went there. All of them sold out at Futureshop.

Went to check Walmart (this is the same day), and they say they had TEN that sold out by 10AM! WTF!? I called at like 8:35AM and they said they had none! Lying f'cking bastards.

Oh well, I'll have my Wii by friday (or earlier) anyways, good luck everybody

Kanada_jesse · 01-02-2007, 08:06 PM

well im not too sure, but just before christmas im guessing, ive called a few times at futureshop to see when it would be, i got many answers

panozg · 01-02-2007, 08:21 PM

Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland got a shipment on December 29. Some Future Shops are saying that they are getting a shipment this Friday while others are saying sometime between 2 weeks and the end of the month. Most say they have no idea when they are getting a shipment.

nicikatt · 01-02-2007, 08:48 PM

What about Ontario?

panozg · 01-02-2007, 08:56 PM

I have no idea about Ontario because i do not live there and don't want to pay long distance charges. The Future Shops in Vancouver are saying the best way to find out about Wii stock is to phone twice a day daily. Phone once when they open and then phone again in the afternoon.

nicikatt · 01-02-2007, 09:01 PM

lmao... I can't. The gaming section in my futureshop unhooked their phones.

canadawiilover · 01-02-2007, 09:18 PM

I live in Mississauga Ontario. And Yes we did get shipments on the 29th. I lined up (was 28/27 in line) and was very unlucky. I still got my pre-order, so now i think im jsut going to wait for that instead... I called all my local stores.... Bestbuy said aobut 1-2 weeks call back, Ebgames said i dont know, Futureshop said I dont know, Zellers said i dont know. Walmart, Im going tommorow afternoon because that's when they get there most shipment. Wednsday afternoon.
