Some targets have gotten more of the wiiu sky lander packs from a few months ago. $189. Give your local a call if you are chasing one and you might get lucky. Not guaranteed!

How'd you check stock?
Ring customers service on 1800 814 788 and quote the ITEM CODE 55538732
Cool thanks for the advice
I am surprised they actually know the stock levels. Last time I checked my local Target store staff wouldn't know their own store stock levels unless they check the shelves and the back. They honestly told me they are still using 20 years old system and does not show stock levels in their system.
@wtfnodeal: The terminals may not be able to display stock levels but the stock management system itself would very likely keep track of any stock changes. Although it may still be 24 hours between updates to what the employees on the customer service number see.
Where did you get the price of $189 from?
This was a genuine question yet I got negs? I posted this question before the OP updated the post with the Wii U console link.
Worth driving across the state for this price. So glad I got mine through toys r us clearance.
Manged to get one put aside at Carindale, Still 1 left at Carindale after mine and 2 at Chermside for anyone in Brisbane
Out of stock at chermside :(
Grabbed one from Target in Geelong (Victoria). At the time they had one more left out the back
Grabbed the last one in chadstone. Great deal! Thx op
I remember this deal at K-mart, except it was $179. I got there 2 minutes after they opened, and got the third and last one. The amount of stock they get for such a big promotion is ridiculous. Sold out in 2 minutes. There should be advertising standards. You're going to get way more people into the store trying to get it than you can satisfy, and while they're in there, they shop for other things. Bit like a bait n switch.
Well to be fair, they did offer rainchecks at Kmart and got more stock in subsequent to the initial shipment (and in the meantime they even sold the Premium Mario Kart bundle at the same price).
I agree that they should have had more stock upfront, but at least they didn't just wash their hands of it.
Really? I don't know about Kmart, but when Target had it for $269 with MK8, they said no rainchecks. I assumed Kmart would have been the same.
Saw these yesterday at lakeside joondalup, didn't post up the deal as they only had 2 and the guy reckoned that was it as other local stores had none.
Good deal for those that finds one especially with the limited edition skylander.
considering my black wii u needs a hard drive already anyway this is a decent deal.
They're all sold out.
Get ebgames to price match this.
These were 95% sold out since the sale in Jun-Jul when they were $169-179 at Target & Kmart. These are just the remaining scattered stock & you would be lucky to even get one.
I expect there to be a SSBU Premium bundle sometime early Dec or next year. SSB is the 2nd or 3rd best selling IP beside Mario Kart & Zelda; I think they are waiting to see how much the current bundles sell before producing a console bundle.
Just picked one up from Morley Galleria in WA. It was the only one on the shelf, but might still be worth giving them a call and checking.
Have rung around 6 stores around Melbourne and have had no luck. If anyone gets an extra I'm happy to pay!
Ringwood was supposed to have 2 when I called earlier in the day. Did you try them?
Just gave them a buzz and they're sold out. Guy said they've had around 5 calls about it in the last hour haha.
I saw the last one get reserved when I was there at around 1pm today. Would have been tempting to get it if I didn't already own one.
Checked my local stores in Sydney, both out and both said that they doubt any other stores have them either.
I've been waiting a while for this deal to come around again. I didn't know the price was reduced all this time. Tried my luck this morning and the first store I called had one left. Thanks!
Just purchased the last one from Target Whetherill Park, solid deal.
Bendigo has stock. I just got one. Guy said they had a couple.
Bloody hell. I was in Target Bendigo today, that'll teach me for not checking OzB first
Nearly exact the same situation, was in Target Geelong, actually looked to see if they had Wii U's and the new 3DS, but wasn't aware of this deal missed my chance to ask the staff. Sliding doors moment, my kids could have been Nintendo kids all summer, joyous and smiling, now it is looking like I may need to parent them instead of leaving the TV to do that. Not happy.
I purchased one from Target Castlemaine, Vic. They didn't have any of the of the packs but they made up the bundle separately for me which was nice. Receipt posted below.
Any In Sydney?
I got one from Campbelltown Target last night. They had 3 more left apparently. Give them a call.
Thanks for the post - picked one up from Target in Belconnen
is this premium?
nope. premium is black and 32gb. this is white and 8gb
any difference besides the color and memory size?
$$$$
No. It's Basic ver. w/ 8GB storage.
I just got a basic Wii u 8gb Skylanders bundle from Clarkson….thought this deal was gone for good…feels like Xmas came early!
how many did they have left?
Price dropped so fast. Faster than the original Wii. Looks like its not doing well
IIRC the wii U (and 3ds) sales are abysmal in comparison to the wii and DS sales.
Actually got nothing to do with the wii u. They don't want to get caught with the olds sky landers game given they release one every 6- 12 months.
Is there really much advantage to the wii u? The diy homebrew on wii u cannot do many of the key features the homebrew on the wii can.
What about the fact that it's a completely different system with different games?
Actually, the wiiu's wii mode is completely hackable and will run many of the key features of wii homebrew.
Doesnt run backups as far as I can see.
Got the last one at Target Toowoomba. Thanks for the info!
Just picked one up from Ocean keys in Clarkson, guy said they had couple more. You have to ask they are not in display.
Cheers for the heads up, I got one from there too. Drove an hour each way to get it though. Oh the things I do to save moneys.
Made it a worthwhile journey then.
Yep I got one from Clarkson too about an hour ago. 30mins each way trip for me but worth it. Cheers for the heads up CheapGit.
I called every store in and around Brisbane. They're all out of stock.
I Managed to find Mt. Ommaney Target's last one, after calling Ipswich and Indooroopilly
Huh.. they said they had no stock when I called them.
Just picked one of these up tonight from Campbelltown Target. They had 3 left. Not up on display anywhere so I guess you'd have to ask.
Happy to pay for postage and a bit extra if anyone can find an extra one of these.
Tried calling Target Geelong today, only stuff out back where the Mario Kart packs
Hi, Just updating everyone. Called all stores in NSW and ACT. Picked up the last one from Parramatta today. Only store rumoured to have any left is at Mt Druitt but you would have to call them first. Thanks for this link! was well worth the effort driving and phoning around.
Here is a direct link to the product http://www.target.com.au/p/nintendo-wii-u-8gb-console-skylan…
This is actually a clearance product and stores will not be getting any more stock. I just checked and stock is limited in Melbourne. Some locations which may have stock are Ringwood, Chadstone, Fountain Gate, Hoopers Crossing, Broadmeadows, Mornington and 1 or 2 others I can't remember. These stores are showing (as of 48 hours ago) 1-2 units in stock.
