alimfp Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 My DH just called me from Wal-Mart. He overheard an employee say that they got 30 to 35 in. They might get another shipment tonight before release. My DH is #66 (they actually handed out #s). Why would they give him a # if they don't have that many???Before release? What did you mean?
davenet Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I just drove by my local Fred Meyer in Spokane, WA. They told me a couple of days ago they were expecting 50 units to sell tonight. There is a line there with close to 50 people in it now waiting out in the cold. David
deanabrown Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks to all who helped me out with the acronym.
mh1973 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 well, I went down to wal mart and #20 had just got in line, I just missed it. I asked the manager when the next shipment would be and he said they didn't know, he said they were suppose to get 30 for tonight and only got 20, hmmmmm.
momof5plus1hubby Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Before release? What did you mean? I just meant they have another shipment coming in tonight before they sell them at 12:00
rimshot Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Little hard to believe that another truck would be coming in this late at night with just more WII units.
tazolover Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I was at my WalMart today and saw the line of people waiting. I asked how many units they were getting and was told "Well, 20, but that isn't the number that will go on to the floor." I asked "Why that was" and was told "because of the employees". I then asked why someone wasn't going out to tell the crowd how many units were available, because there were well over 45 people there. "Because we think it is going to be funny. " And a Merry Christmas to you too.
momof5plus1hubby Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Little hard to believe that another truck would be coming in this late at night with just more WII units. Yeah I know I don't believe it either...I still just don't understand if they have only 30 to 35 units..Why are they handing out #s. Up to 70#s have been handed out
rimshot Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I wonder if they just won't be giving out rain checks for the numbers of 30 to 35. You have to figure at least somewhere the credit card might be rejected or someone could get sick and leave. So a few over would make sense. But to leave them sit empty handed should cause a riot.
mh1973 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 does anyone think we will be able to get one online tonight? which site do you think is the best bet?

rimshot Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I had called this afternoon and was told there was a line and getting 20 units (we have a new Super Walmart) But my daughter stopped by there abt 7 and said she didn't see a line. I ordered the Amazon - Target Bundle so if she can make a trip there and snag one I'll cancel that. I really don't want the football and poker games anyway.
mh1973 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 At our walmart the line was back by the shoe dept right by the layaway dept, kind of out of sight.
rimshot Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Hmmm, I'll have to see if I can get her on the phone. I don't think ours even has a lay away department since it opened just over a month ago. I sure didn't see one. But going from a regular to Super is rather mind boggling. lol I could run in and grab what I wanted before and check out in 5 minutes. Now its closer to 30 minutes to find stuff. Thanks for the help!
mdonze Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I just drove all over the place and all the walmarts were full of people but Target, BB, CC, and tru only had a few
Jewel11 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Nope.. I haven't had any luck finding any online
deanabrown Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I just drove all over the place and all the walmarts were full of people but Target, BB, CC, and tru only had a fewFYI...TRU did pre-sales, so you can't be sure they have additional units beyond what they presold. I honestly beleive everyone will get their hands on a Wii unlike the PS3
T0mmy Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 my local WM had 25 in line when I went there at 10. They only had 20, so I figure I'll try BB and Target. One BB todl me tey're getting 68, and there's 3 more BB's and Targets within 15 miles, so I'll hit them all if I have to. We'll see how that turns out, lol.
mh1973 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Is bestbuy selling them tonight or tomorrow? Our Target said they won;t be selling them until the morning.

T0mmy Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 BB and Target are selling them in the morning. Wlarmart is the only one that I know of that's selling them tonight.

mdonze Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I know the Target near me is getting 60. The other one is supposed to have 210 but I don't believe that. and if they really do I doubt that they will put them all out for sale today
boudmel Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Good Luck everyone! Keep checking all those sites and you will get one. I was lucky and got a preorder in at Walmart.com on Nov 1 and I finally got a tracking number that it has been sent:) DS is convinced he isn't getting this - can't wait to see his face on Christmas morning:D
fairydustcrissy Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 We got our Wii :) Hubby went an picked up our pre-order at EB games. We planned on a 2nd controller, but they hadnt come in yet. Did get Zelda tho :)
