I know of some guy whose sister needed cash (for who-knows-what) and sold his WII to a PAWN SHOP. Not Ebay, not craig’s list…not any place where you’d get retail price or more. A friggin’ pawn shop!

Of course, we’re talking about someone who would steal from their own brother…

Any news for Wiis at Target in Southern California? Specifically Orange County? Am I kidding myself?

I work for Target as well and i got the down low from several people that i know that work in electronics about when and how the Wii’s will be released.

I’ve seen the next coming ad and the Wii’s are definitely on there at their normal pricing range.

The Wii’s arrived in my store on Tuesday and my store only has about 51 Wii’s.

If you want a WII you MUST be in line prior to when we open at 8am. Tickets will be given out at one per person at 7:30am. If you miss that chance then your SOL.

I will be waiting in that line myself to get a WII for a christmas gift and i just am hoping no one starts a Wii riot or anything

Sarah,

could you tell us about how many your Target is going to have so we can get an idea about how many each Target is going to have. Thank you

Nate,

No one ever said Target didn’t have a right to stockpile, and if you have better information on dates, we’d love to hear it. (Although, I would point out that we guessed the 9th or the 16th — you seem to be confirming the 16th.)

And stop being so melodramatic. You can’t “cost someone their job” by checking if there are some in the stockroom. If they are being held for an ad, the guy isn’t going to get fired for not selling them. But that information might help you get an idea of how many that Target has in stock. Combined with a friendly conversation with a Target employee, and you have all the information you need to decide if you want to wake up early and stake the store out on Sunday.

You know, Target has every right to stockpile… your “source” is completely incorrect as to the dates we will be getting them and “stockpiling” them. We hold them to ensure that since the item is featured in the Ad we have some for at least the first day The are in the Ad that begins the 16th of this month, and even if you “check the stockroom” you could cost someone their job just because you’re getting all pushy and demanding that the item be brought out to you… Those locations are not really accurate, there could be ghost (false) locations…
