bestbuy will have them on sale sunday morning. each store will have a minimum of 20. my store got 30. now, this is in Pa.,,,, so not sure about all of the stores, but most likely , yes.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

sweet, sounds good. according to that site looks like all best buys and targets in my area will have them sunday

Hmm... I'm not sure if should share this...

But there's a relatively hidden EB Games at Universal City-Walk. Well, it's not exactly hidden, but it will take some effort to find it. During launch, it had several hundred Wii's for sale and my cousin was able to nab one there.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

egh... the EB there isn't very hidden... its actually the biggest EB ive ever been in, but thats pretty bad ass that they had 100's, sad thing is though, it cost $10 to park at the universal... and i'd hate to get there and they have nothing

 

[TheGrayGhost]

You should find the number and call. If anyone will the system, they will.

 

[AssMan]

Are there any sites that will tell you when online web site will have them in stock ? I know there was one for the XBOX 360

 

[spideyboy_1111]

theres a link above assman


and gray ghost, the only answer any EB's will give me is "2-3 weeks" they dont mention a day... so it makes it a bit rough

 

[spideyboy_1111]

so went to target at 7:30am (it opens at 8) because all targets in the area were suppose to get a Wii in... as well as all circuit city's and bestbuys.. anyway there was a short line in front of target, i was like 5th in line but i guess target didnt get the shipment in so me and friends drove to several other places... huge lines still at every circuit city and best buy (that hadn't opened) soo many infact, that even if they had them, i wouldnt have gotten any because they usually only get shipments of 10-20.. so looks like the shipping schedule is well known , anyways.. gonna have to wait till next time to try again

Wait....there's a site like that for action figures?

I have never been told of this!!!!

Anger....Taking.....OVER!!!!

 

[Roughneck]

And...Uh, sorry for your Wii troubles.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

umm its called fwoosh lol or umm action-figure.com lol

My advice would be to just get one off of Ebay. That's what I ended up doing. The price has gone down a bit so they're more expensive than it would be to get one in-store but not crazy expensive either. I got mine for $365 Which is, in my opinion, pretty decent. Especially with how impossible to find they are.

 

[Roughneck]

umm its called fwoosh lol or umm action-figure.com lol

Oh....well they don't have release dates listed or anything....just reports....And you know my Fwoosh Situation

 

[spideyboy_1111]

well no, they dont have expecting, but they have the city and state and wich store they were found in

ya.. im not paying an extra $100, thats ridiculous.. and not worth getting it sooner... i can get an Xbox 360 for that

By the time you've finally got one, you've already wasted $100 on gas and who knows how much time. If you're impatient to get one, just go for one on eBay. If you can wait for like another month then don't.
