Elohcin Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 We are looking to purchase one for Christmas. Wow, they are still no where to be found. We live in a smaller community and our Best Buy says they maybe get 10 a month. Does anyone know where to get one? Do you have to buy online? Can you buy online? Don't know the first thing about these, but thought it would be a fun Christmas gift as we live in a place that is very cold and very snowy in the winter. Thanks!

RoughCollie Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I found ours by calling all local stores that carry Wiis every morning. I asked for the electronics department instead of talking to the person who answered the phone because I got results that way. RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Try wiialerts.com. They will also show where you can purchase bundles online - it might be easier that way. I lucked out with our wii. The first place I lloked was Target shortly after it opened that morning and they had one in stock. It was harder to find wii fit. I happened to be walking by a Radio Shack, saw a display box and walked in - they had just started taking orders for home delivery that hour! I did notice that they kept a waiting list and were calling the people on it. Other storres don't seem to do that. But if I had to do it again - I would buy a bundle online - you will eventually buy the extras anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritAnnia Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Dh picked one up at Costco a few weeks ago. They're kept at wall behind the the checkout end of the store. He had to purchase it immediately, he was not allowed to place it in his cart and continue shopping or have them hold it until he was ready to check out. ToysRUs did have some on their website but it's been a few weeks since I noticed that. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I second wiialert.com. It took a few weeks, but I finally got my WiiFit when I got a wiialert letting me know gamestop was taking pre-orders. I ordered my WiiFit on Tuesday and it was delivered Friday.

Sarah in FL Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 We got ours at ToyRUs after diligently calling around every day. FWIW, I didn't find the online websites very helpful. Since Christmas is 4 months away I'd think you'd have a pretty good shot at finding one. But definitely don't wait till Thanksgiving!

JenParrish Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Target Stores get them in on a regular basis as well at EB Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K&Rs Mom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I stumbled across one at Target one day. We had been considering it for a while but not putting in any actual effort, so I wandered by the electronics dept just to see, and they had a few there. No luck on the wii fit, though.

kokotg Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Well, we got our Wii because DH's aunt won one in a raffle and asked if we wanted it :D. But I used Wii alerts to find the Wii fit, and got one from Best Buy about 2 days after I signed up, so it worked well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 We got ours at Best Buy! We called and asked them when they get their Wii shipments. They gave us the date and we were there when the store opened that day (along with 20 other people) and we walked out with our Wii!! (That was August of last year....so if you want one for Christmas, now is the time!! They'll become harder to find the closer you get to December!)
