Hi,
I have bought my kids a Nintendo Woo for xmas and I have been told a Nyko docking station is a good idea, but I have no idea where to get one from and this close to christmas tooo. I have googled it and only found one on the Amazon site and I don't think I will get this before xmas. Can anyone tell me if they know where I can get one from and whether they come with the rechargeable batteries or whether I have to buy them seperately, thanks

Just rang a few Kmart stores - No luck, they had stocked it a while back but no more and Target don't stock NYKO either. I'll now try Dick Smith's

No luck at Dick Smith's they did say they thought thye were available at their Powerhouse section on the online buying directory but I looked in there and no NYKO charger, No luck at David Jones they don't stock the NYKO brands as they had heaps of problems with the xbox NYKO products, and No luck at Myers they do not stock the NYKO, so I'm running out of luck here, I may have to resort to another brand maybe, how come this NYKO docker is so good but no-one stocks it???

Can anyone else recommend a good, docking station, recharger that keeps the batteries charged for a long time, a different brand than a NYKO, I only went for a NYKO as I was told it held the charge for a good amount of time.

so wii dude you have the powerwave one, is this the one you have:
Powerwave Nintendo Wii Light Stand & Controller Recharge, Product Description
Store your Wii console and remotes in style with the Powerwave Docking Station. The Docking Station holds your console, two Wii remotes and recharges your batteries while the vibrant blue light complements your Wii system. Includes Docking Station, 4 x rechargeable batteries 2 x controller battery packs
I was looking at this one before I switched to the NYKO thingy, if you have this one can you tell me how it goes, is it easy to use and do the remote batteries hold the charge ok, thx

Just had a look at this one, as long as it is neat, at this stage I'm ok with anything as long as it works well...........lol
How does the recharger, recharge the batteries when it is turned off? Do you know? Is it run by electricity or by USB port

I also have the futuretronics charging dock, given it a short review in the twin charging cradle thread in the accessories section. If you like check it out mywii.com.au/

The power cable piggybacks into your wii power cable and charges even when the console is switched off.

Sure, it may look boring compared to what you can order online but it does what it's designed to do without using gimmicks like blue flashy led lights or glow in the dark powers. I'm happy with mine none of the models I've seen are really impressive aesthetically compared to pretty lounge accessories like a lava lamp or fish tank.

(sorry I forgot to add that got mine from JB in Brisbane City, I like going there as the games section dude is wii friendly)
