Example:If a Walmart sells 70% and Target 65% of that area's games while Sam's club or EB Games sells only 30% Of course WalMart and Target will get a larger shipment& each shipment is a different amount they will be delivering. So go where they sell the most games people. I have decided that I will wait until after the holidays and hopefully they will have larger shipments. My first childs birthday is in July so I have time but I thought if I ran into one that would be great too but I refuse to pay the EBay prices. Good Luck Everybody!

How many people waited in line and got snacks and drinks while they were there. thats where Walmart gets their money. unfortunatly for losers like us we will still be calling our local walmarts and every other place that might sell a wii until we get one... oh wait that might not be until march!! walmart only gets a few units because they can’t get a good deal from nintendo and they don’t make any more $ on stuff like video game systems then any one else does. they only sell enough to get lines of people into their store to buy other things as well.

They actually came from the stock room after counting them for me. They stated they couldn't sell any because of the advertised flyer date of Dec 6th. They said the item was not even in the computer so it couldn't be sold. I showed up this morning at 5:30 with 9 people in line( I was number 9). We waited for 2 hours in the cold and the 3 store employees came out and said they had eight. 1 hour earlier an associate said they only had 6. What happened to the other 8? What a joke this is but par for the course for Walmart.....the only good policy they have is their return policy which is necessary when all you sell is crap. Cooler=crap, garden hose=crap, canopy=crap, summer water sprayer=crap....It's easy to sell cheap when you sell garbage. Mom always says, "if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys". Walmart=Zoo Keep your nintendo 2 separate walmart associates told me they received 16 units on November 30th. They actually came from the stock room after counting them for me.

However, going straight to eBay may not be the answer, some Targets and BestBuys are still receiving regular shipments of 40-50 at a time. Not sure why Wal-mart is getting skimped on.
