lauralee Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 While in my local Walmart in the electronics department, I asked an associate when they might be expecting any Wiis in stock. She said that they were in Sunday's circular, but our store probably wouldn't have more than one or two. I haven't actually seen the new circular, it should be arriving in my mailbox in the next day or two.
staviles Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I got my circular yesterday, and yes the Wii is advertised for $249.99 and states "quantities limited". HTH:D
all4mykids Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Walmart in Nixa, MO had 2 today. I was really suprised. I went in looking for a nunchuck and noticed the two on the bottom shelf.
falling5tarr Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 So does this mean every walmart will have a few of them in stock on Sunday? What about the walmarts that are open 24 hours.. should I show up at midnight?
gutterballmom Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I know a gal who works at WalMart, and she said the last time they got Wii's in the store, 30 were delivered and after the employees were done raiding the stack, only 15 made it to the shelf!! I was livid! (since I'm currently trying to get my hands on one!)
lauralee Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 My Walmart is a 24 hour one, and the clerk said that at midnite, Sunday the 6th, they would bring out the ones for sale. Edited to say that would be Saturday nite/early Sunday morning.
falling5tarr Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks guys.. I'm still debating on whether or not to buy one of these things. I just want it for the Mario games and Guitar Hero.. haha. I'll check out my Wal-mart Saturday night and if nothing is there, it wasn't meant to be!
klastar Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Just got my Wal-Mart ad starting Jan. 6 - 12. Page 7 of the ad has the Wii Console on it (of course supplies limited)
amyers12345 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Walmart in Nixa, MO had 2 today. I was really suprised. I went in looking for a nunchuck and noticed the two on the bottom shelf. Hey neighbor!!! That is strange for Nixa to have them. Marshfield and Buffalo always do.
meetooo Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Got one at Fred Meyer (SW Wa) this morning. They had a lottery... 24 units. Whew... the search is FINALLY over!
all4mykids Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Hey neighbor!!! That is strange for Nixa to have them. Marshfield and Buffalo always do.Hi! Ozark had two yesterday too, so maybe it's just all of the Walmarts period. If I was looking for one, I would start with the smaller areas.
misshayley Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Dh got the last one at ours he was #16 in line and they had 16 of them.
hats90 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 My Walmart (Granite City, IL.) did not have any and didn't know when they would be getting them.
jnorris28 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 :)I got one. our store got 4 and i was second in line. i got there at 1030pm. Jennifer
ixrayu05 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I was lucky enough to get one and my mom also got one( She already wants to get rid of it) at Walmart. There were people waiting since 8 oclock. We got there at 10:30, and were the last few. I am soo excited!
nancy_7997 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I finally got one!!! I called my 24 hour wal mart at 11pm on sat. They said they were putting them out at midnight and he said there was no one in line now, so if i went now I would get one for sure. After getting there other wal mart employees did not want to sell til 8am!! AFTER ARGUING WITH ALL OF THEM I GOT MY WII AT 12AM!!!! whooooo hooooo!!
No1Slacker Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks guys.. I'm still debating on whether or not to buy one of these things. I just want it for the Mario games and Guitar Hero.. haha. I'll check out my Wal-mart Saturday night and if nothing is there, it wasn't meant to be!I got my son one for Christmas. You want one......or not, if you don't want to waste many hours. Fun stuff! Congrats to all who got one of these terrible things..........lol! WII WANT TO PLAY!
nikkilugi Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 My mom and I went to a smaller suburban city 24 hr Wal-Mart at 8 am. The guy in electronics said they only had 10 and there was a big crowd at midnight when they started selling them. They had a fistfight and the cops were called out. They are STILL very hard to find here in our metro area.
migirlfriday Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 A friend of mine got one at midnight Saturday night - they got there at 8PM in case of lines. Their daughter was calling my boyfriend's daughter's cell phone at 12:05 to tell her they got it. There were a few people in line, but then right at midnight a whole bunch of people showed up, but they were first so they had no problem!
cberrytech Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Hi! Ozark had two yesterday too, so maybe it's just all of the Walmarts period. If I was looking for one, I would start with the smaller areas.Hello Missourians! I am in Willard. I became very familiar with the Wii stocks when we were searching. Luckily we found one before Christmas, but it is neat to hear from so many locals! Now the BIL wants one, but I was not staying up until midnight for him. Sounds like he may be able to easily locate one though.
