They will only ship them to another store if the store calls them direct. If you find them, have your local store call the store that has them and ask if they will send it. They are under no obligation to do so, but they usually will Yeah, that's what I did and the other store said it wasn't worth their time. I did the same thing on fritz chess for wii. No luck.

Kudos to the employee going above and beyond. If you want to potentially help the guy, you should call customer service and give praise to him specifically. Customer service for big companies love to get calls like that since all they normally hear are complaints.
I did exactly that. Since I have no problem calling corporate offices when something is well below expectations to complain, I also make sure I do the same when something is above and beyond what I expect to compliment them as well. Seems only fair

It's funny that the system is so cheap and common, yet these cables aren't. Glad I found them last week!

Apparently they did not produce a lot of the cables, as the majority of people had no idea what component was around the time they came out
 
If I'm correct, the only way to obtain the official ones was through Nintendo themselves, I'm not sure if they were sold in stores or not.

 
This is correct, at least in North America. I had to order mine direct from Nintendo.com -- they were originally $19.99

ETA: I hope everyone that already has a set will leave this trick for people who don't who have been searching high and low for a set wth no luck. It would have totally sucked to have to pay like $80 for a set of these. ]]>
