Some Best Buys are hitting triple digits too. Wal-Marts around here are getting between 24-50. Some targets around me are getting 50, while the ones closer to a college are getting nearly 3x that.

I'm going to hold out hope I can get a store pickup order placed online if that is the case. That would be ideal.

 

[guyssorry]

I’m 13th in line at Walmart in Phoenix, AZ. Any AZ-GAF wanna come join me? There are spots left. Brickseek says this location is getting 24.

Where in PHX? I'm in the Glendale/Peoria area and am debating going tonight because one of my wal mart pre-orders was just cancelled.

 

[Inferno313]

Wait, so is there any chance Amazon will be throwing some of these up in 5?

No

 

[SchrodingerC]

I keep thinking that I'll go to my Best Buy at 6am or whatever and lineup but every time I consider it I remember the HELL that was Best Buy's PS3 launch.

Eleven years later and I still have nightmares.

I thinking of getting there at 6 as well, but kinda don't want to because I hating waiting in lines lol.

Ahaha some old lady who didn't get one asked me for mine, I said no, she tried swinging at me in rage and was escorted off. That was a crazy night after waiting 12 hours to get one LOL

Five minutes until the moment of truth.

Maybe thinkgeek. That's the only reason I'm up.

46th street and bell

 

[friskykillface]

Or 1 am

EST

 

[Klocker]

46nd street and bell

midnight our time?

 

[guyssorry]

46nd street and bell

Apologies, canoli, but that's a bit too far for me right now. maybe next year

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Got mine yesterday.
It's great!
Still bugs me a bit that even the EU version only has US versions of games on it. Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country and a few others came out in multiple languages in Europe so not being able to play these in German dissapoints me a bit.

But it's still great! ALL THESE DELICIOUS GAMES!!! GOBBLE THEM RIGHT UP!

 

[LQX]

Sort of crazy Amazon is giving no updates meanwhile every other retailer has shipped out.

 

[beelzebozo]

i've gleaned in the past 90 minutes that 70% of the people in my line are wal mart employees

 

[Shazirah]

Maybe thinkgeek. That's the only reason I'm up.

Fuckin A. 3am timer set.

Also SNES mini Reddit is showing no Walmarts in FL have it.

 

[TalentBurke]

Anybody in NYC out in these lines right now?

 

[RRockman]

why is US amazon dropping the ball? the UK has already shipped theirs out!

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Just got an email from Walmart saying my SNES Classic is on Backorder and the soonest they'll deliver it is on October 11th, if it's still on backorder then they'll refund me

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Experien]

BestBuy's are getting like 100 units or more, should I bother strolling up to it as it opens or no?

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I think the stock for this will be way way better than the NES. I run the electronics at a smaller Walmart and we received, at best, 10 or so the entire span of its lifetime. We already have 20 SNES units just for launch, which will all be gone shortly.

I was thinking about hitting GameStop in the morning, as I heard they aren't doing midnight....

... there aren't lines at GameStop already, are there?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Did you order on the 22nd or the 25th?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wow. Stay strong!

 

[Sillution]

LOLOL fucking walmart got the same email about it being backordered

 

[Blues1990]

The EB Games at Park n' Tilford (North Vancouver) is going to be deserted at 9:00 AM. Time for me to go camping.

 

[Koppai]

I haven't seen any store here with 100 but mine has 78. Houston TX

All 3 havw shipped.

Walmart doesn't have a date, Target says Oct 8th and my Amazon UK order says Oct 18th o.o

 

[Xyrmellon]

BestBuy's are getting like 100 units or more, should I bother strolling up to it as it opens or no?

Ahem, there will probably be 100 people with the same idea, I doubt you'll stroll in.

 

[Busaiku]

Is Best Buy doing midnight?
I got my pickup confirmation.

 

[Experien]

78 is a pretty big number though.

Is Best Buy doing midnight?
I got my pickup confirmation.

Probably not. I got a notification about my iphone 8 last thursday at 11pm. Definite was no midnight for that.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Did you order on the 22nd or the 25th?

I ordered it on August 25th.

Same here man freaking crap

 

[Shazirah]

I'm slightly annoyed with the bundled nonsense that Thinkgeek pulled with both the NES mini and the SNES mini, but, man, whomever is running their twitter is all over making sure to respond to folks. That's nice to see.

 

[MThanded]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is ridiculous. They screwed everyone initially by cancelling all the orders now they are putting orders on backorder with automatic cancellation. Thats BS.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Immediately came home from work, ripped open the UPS box and took out the SNES and fired up Star Fox then Super Mario World. I actually don't think I ever played either of those games before. Actually, thinking about it now, I've probably never tried any of these games before. I'm even more excited now to go through the entire library =D

 

[bronk]

LOLOL fucking walmart got the same email about it being backordered

Me too! Lol says if it isnt shipped by 10/11 theyll cancel it. Damn them! Haha at least I assumed something like this would happen so I got others.

 

[Mr_Kuschels]

Wow, just wow....

Damn..That's some bullshit.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

This is ridiculous. They screwed everyone initially by cancelling all the orders now they are putting orders on backorder.

When I first ordered it back on August 25th the initial delivery date was October 9th, but then they emailed me a couple weeks later saying they'd do same day delivery.

STOP FUCKING PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS, WALMART.

 

[Dishwalla]

Got one, was 13 out of 24 available. Time to cancel my Amazon order.

 

[carda114]

That was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Just checked my Walmart order and seeing the posts above and it is marked as shipped.

Spoiler

Sorry ya'll ;(

I have no clue. I’m gonna head to a Best Buy in Brooklyn at 0600 though.

 

[chronomac]

Checked Brickseek for Walmarts in my area and…none seem to show stock. Am I using the right SKU? 54742301.
