So I am looking for the new black Wii console that was only released in the UK. I have found it on some a couple UK websites. Do you guys know of any sites that would have the console and that ship to the US?

GamesBasement will ship internationally, The new Black Wii with Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus is $296.96 delivered to the USA.
2 minor things you should take in to consideration:
UK plug sockets are 240V compared to the 120V in the US, that’s not too much of a problem with the Wii as the power supply is external so you can just swap it for a US power supply.
The Wii is region locked so you would need to install the homebrew channel on the Wii. Once you have done that you can switch its region to NTSC or just make it region free I believe.

Seems like a bit too much to me just for it to be black. Another Idea is to just buy one and buy the necessary tri-wing screw driver (I think thats the name) and to buy a black Wii case or possibly a nice case with lights. I seen somewher if you buy a Wii at wal-mart they are $200 (of course) and you also get a $50 giftcard, which is a lot better then what I payed for my Wii ($250 and no giftcard).

Thanks for that reply Mr. Nimrod 
. I was looking at Best Buy's holiday bundle and it looks to be a pretty good deal, but I also saw that Wal-Mart one you mentioned Dark Sycth. A $50 gift card would pay for a game so that does not seem like a bad deal. I'll probably just get one here in the US. I saw some nice black cases that had a red LED light for the disc insert area.
