Yeah, we did, but there is no one there selling it for the actual cost. He only has enough for the advertised price which is $249. All of the sellers on Ebay and other sites are selling them for at least $100 more than that when it is the exact same package. I guess they are able to do that because of the huge demand, but he doesn't have enough and I don't really think we should put any more than that into a video game or I'd just say he could use some of our regular money... The employees at the stores we were at today said that this month they are doing mass distributions so as soon as that happens there will be plenty and sellers won't be able to charge so much. I would just hate to spend that much money on it when it'll be available in the next few weeks...

Angie, try Walmart in small towns. I bought Melissa one in early January. There is a Super Walmart in the small town where I work. A couple of weeks before Christmas, they actually had one of the new Playstations that everyone was freaking out about and standing in long lines to get. So, when I checked there in early January, they had two Wii's. EVERYONE else, Best Buy, Target, everyone was sold out. I think they send every Super Walmart the same number or something, and there is just not the demand in the smaller towns.

I just called the Walmart where I bought Melissa's to see, and they are out also, but it may be worth calling around.

Good Luck!! and I know how frustrating it is to be ready to buy something you really want, and not be able to get it. Did you try Walmart online?

We had our local Walmart call every Walmart even remotely close to us and no one had one. But I haven't looked on walmart.com yet. I will try that right now. Thanks for such a wonderful idea!!

Even Walmart.com is out of stock...

Hang on to the money and keep trying. You'll catch one if you don't give up.

We will. He's feeling much better now. Having one of his favorite dinners cooked for him and then some extra attention from his wife has helped. He is a good guy...and we don't often buy expensive or "unnecessary" things so I hate that this (for now) has been a big let down for him...

Maybe it'll mean that much more to him when he gets it though...
