ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Is it still in stock?
Good thing when I went to DataBlitz, there was no line at all, just lots of phone calls.

Instead of ordering controller extensions just ordered a 15ft HDMI cable so I can have it on my side table for easier reset button pressing to go to the menu.

Missed preorders epically.
Went to Wal-Mart at 10:30. #6 of 25. 1hr30min wait worth not freaking out over uncertain preorders. Victory!
So glad they did 2 controllers this time around. The NES controller situation was so short sided. I mean we all asked what they were thinking with the units themselves but the controller scarcity was just dumb.
We did it boys!

Less than an hour to go Pacific time, Walmart employee brings out the SNES classic boxes, places then in the center of the ringed counter in electronics where we are in line.
Conspiracy is brewing because we counted a total of 45 based on how many SNES classics come in each brown box, yet they stated they had 40.

Have one ordered with Walmart but... you know, who the f knows if it'll actually ship so I wandered by my local Walmart tonight at 10pm. They had passed out tickets and their allotment was already gone. They had a fair number (40-odd) but let people buy two, womp womp.
I'm cool right now but if my order doesn't ship tomorrow as the rep told me, that cool is gonna fade real fast lol

Man, I don't get how FedEx can be so slow. Target shipped mine out today from Tucson, AZ to the Bay Area and the ETA according to FedEx is next week Friday, 8 days later. Even UPS is a max of 5 days for ground shipping from the East Coast to the West Coast. How can it take so long to travel such a short distance through FedEx?

How early should I get to target before it opens at 8am.

I'd check like brickseek first to get an idea of how many the target you plan on going to has.

2-3 hours is likely a safe bet. Bring a 3DS or Switch (or Gameboy if you are hipster).
Samus Returns made my wait feel non existent.
Employee told me 6 and I plan to get there around then. I left best buy earlier (around 3 pm) and people were already in line tho.

Frustratingly, Brickseek is showing "Unknown" for all the quantities.
Got mine. Brickseek was right that store had about 34. I was 24 and got there about 9:20-30. They never gave out numbers so when I left, there were still at least 50 people behind me. Poor souls. I passed by Target at 12:45 and they open at 8. Zero people waiting out front. Madison, WI east.
I showed up at 10:30 PM for what I thought would be a midnight launch. Only one dude in line. Made small-talk for a bit only for him to mention the store wasn't opening for another 11 hours.
Worst drive-home-of-shame in my life.
The ones I bought the other day just shipped from NJ earlier; same seller (KLUE-Knight) so I'm guessing it's legit.

I don't think cops will allow people to hang around the mall parking lot so I'm 99% sure there's no one there rn.
No like legit they were already camped out (had chairs and computers and everything) and the employees told them to wait there.

Midnight launch at Walmart tonight. Couple of employees hooked up an NES classic for us to pass time.
Got it to work as well with the only store that showed they have it in stock. Heres hoping...
Damn all of mine are either unavailable or sold out

It's pretty nuts to think that at the time Donkey Kong Country released in 1994, it was considered a comeback for Nintendo's gorilla. I remember it being a semi big deal.
The crazy part to me is that this version of Donkey Kong has been a major presence on every Nintendo system since, with at least a few games in the series, be they ports or new games, being released on every Nintendo console or handheld since 1994.
The only Nintendo console to not join this DKC Donkey Kong party is the original NES!!
I mean the gap between the release of the original Donkey Kong arcade game (1981) and Donkey Kong Country (1994) is 13 years. Which means that same 13 year gap post release of DKC was reached in 2007!! WTF.
Maybe it's my excitement for the SNES classic tomorrow, or maybe I'm just tired, but I find this pretty crazy for some reason and a definite check in my ongoing list of facts that prove I'm old.

Walmart near me had no SNES but like 7 Switches. Just my luck.
Got my classic from Best Buy
Why do yours look different than mine? Is this a new edition?
How are you seeing stock on the site? https://www.target.com/p/nintendo-174-super-nes-classic-edition/-/A-52826093#lnk=sametab just says that it's not sold in stores.
They fixed that glitch fast. Had it in my cart and had to reset my pw. By the time I reset the pw, gave me error when I tried to check out.
I was wondering how the stock went from 16x to 11x.
It showed a store had it in stock for me using the target iOS app
On the app there were a few locations near me that listed as in stock and available but when you tried to order they said no online order.

It worked very briefly on the site, but since disappeared. Managed to get it working in the app.
If I remember correctly, the stores that were showing it in stock were the same stores that showed stock on brickseek.
All of the units will probably be allocated to those in line outside of the store. On the slight chance they fulfill online orders first, the few who were able to order would be really lucky.
