Unless she works the stockroom at night or something, she won't be able to help you. My friend Erik works the register and never has a clue as to when Toys 'R' Us gets shipments.

I don't know if she does, but, somehow she knew how many they were getting at launch for her store, so I don't know. You may ask, why didn't I go there? The simple answer is: I'm an idiot.

Guys, I have found a forum that organized the shipment info by location.

http://wii.izbbplus.com

Please post your info over there also so that we can have a better idea where to find it. Hope it helps....

That site it a good find, but no one posts there so it's kind of frustrating. If I can just be certain on a release this Sunday at Best Buy I will be happy, but can anyone confirm this? Anyways, ill keep updating as I find. GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYONE AND MYSELF

I feel like smashing my head against the wall. Why can't stores hold Wiis for people at this point? I don't have time to call every single store in a 15 km radius every day.

Oh man. I leave for like thirty minutes and this whole thread has exploded with speculations and theories!!!

It seems like the Gamestop 11-27 theory is my quickest hope
The best buy theory seems definite though.
Gamestop will have to get another shipment before sunday though, it is just a matter of knowing first. I personally am calling very early tomorrow and will post my result ASAP.

According to http://www.ps3seeker.com/wii every single retail location will supposedly get their next big shipments December 1st. It's obviously just a guess on their part, but who knows? December 1st is a Friday, which would be a great time to get another shipment.

Yeah seriously and the more that I hear people agree with the "Sunday Best Buy Theory" my heart warms a little. I would love to have it this weekend so I already own Zelda: TP and a strategy guide. Keep us posted people.

I'm in the same boat as you. I went to Toys 'R' Us yesterday in hopes of getting a Wii, but they were out so I just bought Twilight Princess and its guide. After looking at the manual (I couldn't resist) I really, really want to play it. It's super hard to not look at the guide, but I'm trying not to.

Hmmm, that sounds interesting too....

I was thinking on a five day pattern for eb games/gamestop

Sunday 19th -> Friday 24th -> Wednesday 29th ???

My local gamestop/ebgames told me to call in the middle of next week...
Wednesday seems probable if the whole 11-27 thing falls through

No dude, dont read the manual. It will only make things worse! I memorized the first few pages of the guide so I will know when I get it, but other then that I've tried to refrain.

I have to start school again this week, so I'm going to have to get my parents to call everyone for me.

Wow! We really are in the same boat. My mom is going to call everyday for me while im in school this week.

yea...i'm calling, but my dad is picking up if they have it

stupid school....

For those of you calling around, or going to customer service in the store, and getting the stock answer "I don't know", you're not being lied to. If you really want to know, you'll have to ask the manager, as they will sometimes divulge information. Most stores truely do know when shipments are coming in, it's just a matter of which workers to ask. Managers offer you a better chance of getting an answer, but in some situations, it is store policy not to divulge any shipment information.

To gonzo fish, that would be great, but unless that employee works in the stock room or management, It unfortunately might not be useful, as shipment information is contained often to only a few workers in the store to prevent what we have here, information spreading over the internet.

@kk203, that site looks interesting, maybe if we can double post our information over to there as well, it could work out to help.

I think with given time, we will be able to get our Wiis easily before christmas. Remember, today is one week from the release, theres 5 more until Christmas, with more than half left to ship, and a lot of the demand cut down.

Gamestop looks good for tomorrow, as does it on Wednesday and Wal-Mart/Target on Wednesday. I look forward to your results haruka. I wouldn't say the number theory with the 19th, 24th, then the 29th is correct. Remember, the first two days were big days, (launch and black friday), and neither the two Gamestops or EBgames in my area got any consoles on black friday.

This coming friday would be good, probably units going for sale that saturday, or held until sunday so they can put it in the Saturday/Sunday paper ads.

As of right Enow, Best Buy on Sunday seems our strongest so far, with Gamestop/EBGames on Monday and or Wednesday following suit. December first seems like a logical date, but a friday shipment seems to me something that wouldn't hit the shelves until that weekend. (Regardless, I will be taking a trip friday afternoon).

For anyone who gets a store that tells them to call later in the week, again, I feel that's more of a stock answer than any actual info. They know that if they get them in, they'll sell within a short timeframe. I think large retailers are the best place to get the consoles at least until the supply becomes steady.

So with all that in mind, good luck to everyone on getting info/consoles, and I will be back to post again and make a final update to the original post before the night, (6:05 PM where I currently am) ends for me.

Awesome post sc7. I have a really important question though. Do you have any idea what time Wal Mart/ Target will be getting their shipment in Wednesday, and which of the two stores is likely to get them? It's going to be tough to get one on Wednesday because I have school, but I might be able to work something out with my parents.

Yeah so far it looks most likely that I will be camping out Saturday night so I can pick one up Sunday morning, but I would love to get one sooner.

So is anyone else besides me going to wait outside Game Stop tomorrow?

[QUOTAwesome post sc7. I have a really important question though. Do you have any idea what time Wal Mart/ Target will be getting their shipment in Wednesday[/QUOTE]
Thank you. It's hard to pinpoint an exact time, but wal-mart usually will stock them at 12:00AM, as they usually get them late at the end of the night. Target, will probably get them tuesday night into Wednesday morning off store hours, and then they will get them onto shelves when the doors open Wednesday.

That's what I'll be doing at Best Buy, if I can confirm that they'll have more.

Looks like that's what you'll have to end up doing. They usually get relatively small shipments, 5-6 per store, usually by the time the store opens, the line is long enough to take all stocked units...
