Wii day
Laura and I will attempt to pickup a Wii tomorrow.
Hope this works.
Update: Denied at FutureShop… the person right in front of me got the last one.
Still hope with Laura at Toys’ R Us.
Update 2: Laura FTW!! Picks up a Wii!!!
Update 3: Wii Sports is ridiculous amounts of fun. And PHOTOZ!!!!
Update 4: The Wii on standby uses 2 watts. Disappointing to say the least.

Nice! We tried a couple of places and were denied. Walmart was the same situation as you at FS. Hit up Zellers as the 5th person in line, but they said they only had stock for pre-orders. :(
Ordered my online at Sears. Back-order until 12/05. Ah well. Let me know how it goes.

did you have to beat up any teenagers for that? the answer better be ‘yes’.

If by “beat up” you mean “freeze with” the yes.

I chose to wait in line at the indoor ToysRus at Yonge and Eglinton. Got cozy with a warm cup of Timmy’s tea, and the Sunday Star while Ty froze his toes off (ya…they came right off!!) at Future Shop. Sweet deal! It’s a good thing the cute kids behind me in line got a Wii as well because if not,I don’t know if I could have dealt with their sad kid faces.

I would have rubbed it in the kid’s faces and told them that if their parents really loved them they would have been in line earlier.

Atta girl Laura, she did the work. I just stood outside in the cold for no reason.

“I just stood outside in the cold for no reason”
No, just think of it as you being the decoy. All the people probably thought that if you were getting a Wii at Future Shop, it was the place to be! That left Laura free and clear to hit up Toys ‘R Us. Sneaky Ty, very, very sneaky!!!

True, it was all an elaborate ruse to win the day.
