Mind Flex? Any tips on finding one?

[talulabelle]

Help. I started EARLY this year looking for it. As soon as my son saw it advertized and just knew he needed to get is for Christmas, I knew it was going to be a hot item to find. I started going to Toysrus and target and walmart regularly to check the shelves. Always an empty shelf. TRU and Walmart used to tell you online what stores had it in stock, and I would always arrive to be told that the last one sold a few minutes ago!!! Recently they won't even tell you if the stores have it in stock because so many people were flocking to the stores. I have to get kids off to school in the mornings and just can't be there at opening everyday to look.

So, has anyone had any luck? Any tips to find one? I signed up for alerts when it would be in stock and was only alerted once by etoys, but got the email while I was driving on the highway by myself and was unable to make the purchase.

Best Buy carries them

Last Monday morning I was in Target and happen to ask a sales guy. They had just received a shipment in. He said they only get a few at a time. Try Monday morning at Target. You may get lucky like we did. It was $69.99

Thanks - I didn't know that Best Buy carried them, I'' have check there too.
I will keep checking in at Target and TRU and hope to get lucky. I have to stay in a budget for Christmas and can't justify paying the marked up price on Craigslist or Ebay.
