The shipment arrives Thursday night and is stocked overnight for store opening at 10am Friday morning. Someone I was in line with mentioned that if you call Thursday you can sometimes find out what was shipped in. Also, if something was listed in the flier that is released on Thursday, then they expect to have them shipped in on that same Thursday. Zero chance of you getting one at 5pm on Friday though. I have never seen them last past 11 am at the Deerfoot Meadows or Northland Stores. Even 11 am is pretty generous. If I had to guess I would say that Deerfoot meadows sells out faster than Northlands though.

edit: They apparently also get shipments on Tuesday night, I don't have any first hand info on that, but the lady my wife was talking to last week in line said she got her Wii on a Wednesday morning.
