Almost 6 year old son wants Lego Star Wars .... used your advice and decided on the Wii, have already bought the fresh off the presses Saga game but can't find the console for Xmas.

Please let me know if you find one in the city.

Thanks!

Hey Bingo.

Go to Costco.ca, and order the bundle online. Mine came in 5 days.

Don't have to traipse all over the city that way!

Hey I've got one that I'd be willing to sell, I never use it.

I see them all the time in Best Buy at Northland Mall these days. I think you've got a brief window before they start selling a ton for Christmas again.

I'll try Best Buy up North ...

Costco.ca is sold out.

The Future Shop on Mcleod is a lot less busy since the one opened in Deerfoot Meadows. I was able to pick one up there after I had called all the futureshops and was told they were sold out (including by my house), but the one on Mcleod (by chinook) had about 20.

Toys R Us was getting shipments every week (i think the stock is in on Saturday). Call them and ask when the next shipment will arrive....

Maybe I just got really lucky, but Walmart seems to always have a couple.

Future Shop in Deerfoot Meadows still has a few. Today will probably be the last day because they have this deal where monday to thursday they sell the wii's in a bundle only. The bundle includes the console, two wii remotes, two nunchucks, wii play, wii sports and a game of your choice. Plus a three year warranty (59.99 value) for $485. I say today will be the last day because tomorrow morning they sell them singly and there is usually a line.

Realistically though, you'll end up needing everything that comes in the bundle eventually and those controllers are pretty expensive. You end up just paying for the warranty in order to get a wii.
