I heard that the Wii U releases on Nov 18th. We haven't received any in store yet. Next truck isn't until 18/19 overnight. What's happening with release at your stores?

From what I was told tonight by our ETL-HL, he said we had 6 boxes (2 consoles per box) & that all but maybe one was preordered & to be held. He also mentioned something about holding one of each type per preorder(?!)......no clue what he meant about that one. I guess I'll just walk in to a surprise in the AM.....& hope for the best.
There's two different types of the WiiU, the 8 GB and 32 GB versions. I don't remember if the pre-sale cards had which one they were pre-ordering on it, but since he said to hold two for every preorder, than I'm assuming they don't.
He wants you to hold one of each type of WiiU for the people who preordered. So if one person pre-ordered the WiiU, than you would hold one of the 8 GBs and one of the 32 GBs for them, so they can choose which one they intend to buy.
Thank you for the info, it's much appreciated!

The white Wii u is the 8gb and had a white picture on the presell card, the 32gb version is black and had a black picture on the presell card so IF the electronics team member gave the correct information to the guest, you shouldn't have to hold 2 different kinds.
as well as a million calls asking if we even have them.
If you haven't gotten any and you won't get another truck in time, maybe they'll be delivered directly to the store before opening.
Oh god, my store only received enough to cover the preorders and 2 extras two sell. Shoot me.
We received 18 of the 8GB Basic and 74 of the 32GB Deluxe bundles. Had about 20 people waiting this morning. We had Plano come in at 4 this morning to set the endcaps with the games. Everything went very smoothly. I expect another rush around 10am, for those people that weren't able to get one at other retailers, as well as a million calls asking if we even have them.
Let your operator know when the store runs out so they can screen calls.
That is so ridiculous. How could your target get almost 100 WiiUs and mine get 14? We sell a lot of video games and sold our preorders within the first day. How does Target do this stuff...
Lol, what operator? We're lucky if we have one shift a day covered in HR, let alone the entirety of the time that we're open.
Who answers phone calls then?
