Okay, I called a couple of Wal-Marts. I'm hoping other people may do the same to help out fellow MN CAGS. I'm hoping to get my hands on one, so if we figure this out it may help CAGs get a better chance at getting one. I'm hoping to hit Shakopee first then if that fails, Eden Prairie.
Shakopee - Open 24 hrs (4 in warehouse)
Eden Prairie - Open 6- 11 (2 in warehouse) Guy was hesitant to give me numbers, but he suggested a super center. Wonder if he wanted it for himself.
Bloomington - Open 6 - 12 (lady wasn't on electronics register)
Anyone else care to chip in? I just asked to talk to electronics and gave them the item number or upc number. (see below)

If you want to try and make it idiot-proof here's a step-by-step:
1) Ask them to sign into their gemini/telezon (new name is Gemini while the old name is Telezon).
2) Tell them to click on item management (might be product management)
3) Tell them to go into perpetual inventory.
4) Have them either type in "71171980110" for the UPC on the first line OR have them type in "543198" for "Item"
5) Have them tell you how many are "On Hand" "In Transit" "In Warehouse" "On Order"
Here's what each one means too:
On Hand: what they have in stock at the moment.
In Transit: what they are getting either today/tonight or the next day. Usually they will have it within the next day if it says "In Transit"
In Warehouse: means what they have ordered and are going to be receiving (ie. if the "On Order" number is "3" and the "In Warehouse" number is "2" then what that means is they want 3 but only going to be receiving 2).
On Order: what they are trying to order
So right now, as it stands, my Walmart is *trying* to get 2 but there's currently none in the warehouse. Hopefully it will change in time for the 12th.
