Lori L. Somerville, Brockville, Ontario, drove about 55 miles from Brockville to Watertown Thursday just to do some Black Friday shopping. But by the time she got to the toy aisle just a few minutes after 5 a.m. Friday, the toys she wanted to get for her two-year-old son were sold out.

“Everything I wanted, I didn't get,” she said.

Mrs. Somerville did, however, manage to get a cheap blu-ray player and some other toys for a good price and said she will come back next year to dive into the madness once again.

Jessica H. Smith, 27, Watertown, had better luck. She got in line at Target about 5 minutes before the opening but got that TV.

"I'm done for the day,” she said, while leaving the store. "I'm tired."

Here's a video:
