rgb Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I saw in the bf ad that Walmart is going to have the gameboy advance on sale as an early bird special. In previous years when I have been waiting in line for the store to open, employees were coming around with tickets for like tvs and dvd players. Does anyone know if they will do that for the gameboy advance? I have seen how crazy the electronics dept is on bf and if i get a ticket then i retty much have the deal sealed. Any info will be much appreciated! Can't wait!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candy Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hmm....I have a gameboy advance sp in layayway now...but I know last year they wouldnt let you take a layaway OUT during BF...is that how most of your Walmart's works?...IF I knew they would...it sure would help me out alot not to have to wait for one..and then cancel that layaway.

Kandy Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The year that had the game boy color on BF for about $30.00 they had an employee in electronics opening the boxes and passing them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenT1292 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The year that had the game boy color on BF for about $30.00 they had an employee in electronics opening the boxes and passing them out.They did the same thing at our WM 2 years ago on the Gameboy Advance. I was one of the first there to get one, but they were gone really fast. People just barged in and were grabbing them from their hands as fast as the employee was taking them out of the boxes.

JanetThomas1 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I am trying to decide how to go about this one too. This is one of the things that I really want this year too. I am thinking about trying to get it at the PX and PMing. Anyone have any suggestions? I am scared about the PX idea because ours does not open until an hour after Wal-Mart. Hmmmm.....

Why don't you go to Wal-Mart and try to get it there first since it's open an hour earlier. If not, then you can always pm at the PX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I am going to get one at the px and I may put it on layaway and get it out on bf morning. Maybe it can be bought online from Walmart. :runaway: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarry1974 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 You just never know - Wal-Mart seems to be a little inconsisten with the ticket method, some years they hand them out while you're standing in line and some years it's RUN LIKE THE WIND to get there in time.

leefamily23 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Our Walmart has never used a ticket method. We've always been lucky because ours seems to always have tons of the BF merchandise. Okay, I probably cursed myself. I too am hoping to get one of these. DS had one and then lost it either in the rental car or airplane on our last trip.

elena_398 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Flame and black for sure. I think cobalt too. Forget the last one though. Go to the BF section and the walmart ad is scanned. It shows the colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgb Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I just had a thought, if I bought it ahead of time and then took my reciept back on black friday, would I be able to get the bf price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvmi2boys Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have a question.....the gameboys WM has on BF are the old ones...they ahve since come out with 2 new ones that have brighter, backlight screens. Any ideas as to whether maybe they will also do those even thought they are not the colors listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 For what I heard, you can choose one of the colors and put it on layaway. As long as you take it out between the hours of the door buster (5-11am) they will price adjust. At least thats what my manager told me of my Walmart. Call yours to see the policy there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
