momof5plus1hubby Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Well after recent events with the TMX Elmo being backordered. I am camping out for one. I am also hoping for a Wii preorder if they have them. Anybody Else??? Or am I the only crazy one? Maybe I will wait untill the early morning hours to go..I don't know.... they open at 10:00..When would you go? :confused:
dmmiller Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Oh I'm going EARLY sunday morning.. since its sunday, they have later morning hours. I'm almost obsessed with getting something Hot for Xmas, like the ps3. I was lucky enough to get 2 TMX's on the day they were released.. so i'm hoping this is my lucky year. ? :) We'll see.
dmmiller Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I just called my TRU and they are doing the preorder for at least the Wii on sunday. (not sure about the ps3) They are only doing about 10. And according to the person who answered the phone, they assume this will guarantee yours for release day.
Rebirth Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Will there actual be a camp out for the preorder? Seems pretty silly for a preorder though.
momof5plus1hubby Posted October 26, 2006 Author Posted October 26, 2006 Will there actual be a camp out for the preorder? Seems pretty silly for a preorder though. Well if you are guaranteed the game system with a preorder I am camping out:eek:
Deal Grabber Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I will be there with bells on.Im nt sure how early though.I was thinking like 10pm Saturday night?To early?(LOL)>If i get there and theres a line already i will go home.No need to wait...For elmo,WeIII and PS3.I need all 3
elena_398 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 No more systems for my son. He has a Nintendo 64, PS, PS2, and X-box. He tried asking for one of the new systems, but enough is enough. I can afford the systems, but its the games that kill you. As for the TMX Elmos, thank god I have too old of children for those. I only camp out on BF lol
luv2shopnc Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I will if I am guaranteed a system on release day!
Deal Grabber Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 And the worst of this thing is when its 10 and we think they are gonna open it will really only be 9:00.Clocks go back.Booo-hoooooo.
stiltman Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 And the worst of this thing is when its 10 and we think they are gonna open it will really only be 9:00.Clocks go back.Booo-hoooooo.I thought you were going after work at 2:30 Sat. Might want to think about going at that time.
Deal Grabber Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I thought you were going after work at 2:30 Sat. Might want to think about going at that time.LOL i am going at 2:30 on Saturday i just meant ill have a extra hour to wait...
Deal Grabber Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I was just told by my toys r us that they will have enough elmos though..
M&S-mommy Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 How much are the drawing easels on pg 20. I am interested the one on the far right of the ad. I think its made by plaksool or fisher price. Also does any one know anything about it. My seven year old daughter loves to draw. It looks like its big enough, but not sure. thanks for your help.
dolphinmom Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 does anyone know that they will definetely have elmos
dolphinmom Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I was just told by my toys r us that they will have enough elmos though..Where are you from? And how many are enough??
momof5plus1hubby Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Well I am def camping out. I just talked to my local TRU. He said that they will have Elmos and the preorders for wii and ps3 will be Sunday. He said if you reserve one "you WILL get a system on the day of release". I guess I will be taking pepper spray too LOL. My TRU is in a bad city..Reading PA :(
AndreaInNC Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Well, I get back into town about 3am on Sunday morning from a marching band competition .. tuck the kiddies into bed, then head off to TRU to camp out til 10am .. just got off the phone with my TRU and they are now saying they will have Wii avail for preorder on Sunday only.
mrodgers169 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The TRU by me said they are opening early at 9am... and they didn't think they had Elmo's --- boy I hope so! They were doing 5 preorders for the PS3!!! Oh boy!
dmmiller Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Why oh Why would they have a couple hundred people line up in the cold (more than likely rainy) weather for just 5 preorders? What are they thinking... Its only asking for trouble. Oh well.. I think i'm still gonna give it a shot. if there's a line, i'm outta there. I'll save my sanity for release day.
femalesliealot Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 My TRU is doing 1 preorder for the 20 gig ps3 ad 5 preorders for the 60 ps3 gig. They wouldn't tell me how many elmos they were going to have though. looks like i'm camping out.
kboyts Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 so what time is everyone setting up camp on sunday? or should I say saturday? I really dont know how early I need to be, I was thinking 4 am?
tdude51 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Sunday morning, yah 4am sounds pretty good ^^ I was thinking 3 at first, but then I thought nah, I live in a pretty boring neighborhood, it's not like I'm going to the one in NY lol. Maybe I'll even push it back to 5...ahh what am I saying I need that Wii!
luv2shopnc Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Like I better call and get the details from my TRU
sflinch Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 My TRU is doing 1 preorder for the 20 gig ps3 ad 5 preorders for the 60 ps3 gig. They wouldn't tell me how many elmos they were going to have though. looks like i'm camping out.Oh goodness. Only 5 of the 60 gig PS3. I don't think I will do very well then. I can't get there till about 6AM. I will try though. Good Luck to you, and stay warm. They are calling for 40 to 50 mph winds. Hopefully, I will still be able to get an Elmo.
jgilbert00 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I'm still trying to decide. I hope 10-11 pm is good enough. Hopefully the coldness, high wind, and snow we are supposed to get keeps everyone home. On second thought maybe 8 PM.
luv2shopnc Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Called my TRU and they are only gettin 5 units. I guess I will be camping out
noehlp Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 LOL I was at Toys R Us yesterday looking at clearance clothes. As I walked inside there were 3 men (18-22) sitting outside w/lawn chairs, blankets, radio, coolers, etc. Asked what they are waiting for and they said a game system, can't remember which. But TRU won't be selling it until either Sunday or Monday. SILLINESS!
kboyts Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I have the DW checking for a line tonight when she gets off work at 9PM
jgilbert00 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I decided to head out in about an hour! 2 hours from now a friend and I will have started our long, cold camp out. Good luck to everyone thats going to get in line tonight!
