Update for Target in Queens NY, (Elmhurst), they have 184! I'm 45

 

[dno_1966]

Got it today

This thing feels poorly made and cheap.

Surely not the controllers, they feel the same as I remember the originals?

 

[Lkr]

7:20 and no tickets at Best Buy
I’m gonna end up being here in line until 10 huh?

 

[digitalrelic]

Anyone get tickets have out at their Target? Just wondering if I'm going to be sitting out in the cold until opening an hour & 40 minutes from now.

That's what I'm thinking too. Won't hold out that long since I gotta take a leak.

Will leave at 8 and try my luck at Target

 

[broketv]

Walked up at 550 at a Walmart in 78244 and was 7th in line. Store has about 13 and I was in and out in 5 mins. This thing will he sold out today.

 

[Veedot]

Hell yeah target ftw! and my friend was able to pick one up before work so i can go to bed now!

 

[pikablu]

My target showed 50 on brickseek on monday. But now its showing out of stock. Im 11th in line.

We’re both in the same boat, gotta use the toilet , and more people showing up. Late ticket hand outs are my biggest fear here, since I’m first in line atm.

 

[Skronk]

My plan was to get up and wait inline for target to open. My dear loving wife who I love so much went out sometime last night to walmart and got one!! There was a note on it. "You better put chrono on this! Love ya." Bless her.

Man, you've got some work cut out ahead of you to pay her back for that one!

 

[Koppai]

My coworker got to work early and says there is about 20 people in line. And i think there were 20 preorders. West Oaks Houston TX

I live like 5 minutes away still in bed lol

 

[Anth0ny]

Just ask the person next to you to hold your spot, people are decent about that usually

[King Al B]

[ryan299]

What's the dcpi for target for brick seek?

 

[esmith08734]

No tickets here at Target. 34 mins to go. About 20 people here and I’m at about 13. I haven’t done this since n3DS XL and this is definitely the last.

 

[Swarlee]

Got in line at Walmart about an hour before opening. Was like 15th and they had close to 30.

Same target number 42. Crazy how there's so many.

 

[ParityBit]

I am guessing I have no chance on finding one after work today.

 

[JPS Kai]

Walmart.com shipped my unit yesterday via FEDEX Smartpost.

As someone who used to do a ton of commerce for work....hybrid shipping methods cost about 10% less than the standard ground but take 2-3 extra days.

If theres one thing id love to eliminate, its smartpost/surepost from FEDEX/UPS.

Very annoying, but I'm very glad I was able to get one.

UPS will gladly let you pay ~$4 to get rid of the UPS SurePost step of delivery. Just sign up for their UPS MyChoice program.

 

[jacobeid]

Had one in my cart at Thinkgeek and just lost it. Fuck

 

[Fluffhead14]

50+ at Target. Tickets handed out at 7:45. 16th in line, schwing!

 

[simmias]

Got it all set up (after subbing another HDMI cable since the one provided is ridiculously short), launched Earthbound, and now I have a little buyer's remorse. Are there shortcuts for rewind and fast forward?

 

[esmith08734]

You never know. I would say to try and sneak out during lunch.

I went to a Walmart that opened at 6. Got there at about 6:20 and was 20th in line for 40+ units. They were supposed to wait until 7 to start selling them for some reason, but once the line started to fill up, the manager said he'd start selling them when the line got close to 1 person per unit because he didn't want anyone to wait in line and be disappointed. Once they started selling them we were all out in 5 minutes. Electronics staff very friendly and on the ball, happy bunch of customers.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Woke up to an email from Wal Mart that my preorder is backordered, and that if its not in stock by 10/7 they'll cancel the order. Guessing thats not happening.

 

[Haloid1177]

Went to the Walmart by my office on the way to work. They had 29, six people waited in line, walked in with two other people and everyone left happy. It's a good start to the day, other than having to step foot in a Walmart.

The one I'm at is waiting until 10 minutes before the store opens to hand out tickets from what they've told us.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Went to my closest Walmart 15 minutes after opening. Got one.

If only getting a NES Classic back then would've been that easy...

 

[Lkr]

I should have just stayed at target. I’m definitely gonna get one at Best Buy but it’s after 7:30 and no tickets. It doesn’t open until 10. I don’t want to wait that long for this

 

[Zen Aku]

How can tickets got handed out at 7:45.

I'm on the east coast and it's 7:32 here.. are you a time traveler?

 

[Fermbiz]

At BB in the Bronx, Fordham Rd. They came out around 6:30 and gave out tickets. They never came back and there's about 20 of us here....

Two hours into a first playthrough of Final Fantasy VI. This is great.

I don't think so. There isn't even a shortcut to get back to the menu. You have to press the reset button on the console.

 

[VeryGooster]

My Walmart order is supposed to be here Monday and I was a "confirm payment" click away from a second one at ThinkGeek before it got snatched away.

I kind of wish stores did the "you have x minutes" to check out thing like w/ tickets and Amazon gold box shit.

Nintendo UK came through! ^^

I'm so jealous of you. I wish i could go back to playing that game for the first time.

It was my first RPG and probably the greatest of all time.

 

[Creamium]

Mine is ready for pickup, yay

Same thing just happened to me.

Target in Houston, TX got #6 in line. They have about 30. Tickets have been passed out but there are only 16 people in line.

 

[thepenguin55]

So pretty much all of my orders have been cancelled. First, I found a Target within 30 minutes of me that was allowing online ordering for store pick up so I ordered two (one for me and one for my cousin). Because it was the only Target in the area offering online pick up for it and because I ordered two I did not feel good about that order so when it went up on GameStop I try ordering it on there but their site is a fucking nightmare. I swear that there's about 10 different versions of GameStop's mobile site (my phone was all i had access to at that moment) and I think I saw them all this morning and had zero luck with any version of the site.

Then it went up on ThinkGeek. While I was never able to get to the order confirmation page my orders went through on Paypal and I later got a order confirmation email for one email and then an hour later I got an order confirmation for the second order I placed. About 40 minutes ago both of my Target orders were cancelled and my first ThinkGeek order got cancelled, so now I'm dreading the seemingly inevitable cancellation of my other ThinkGeek order :/

 

[sinonobu]

Does anyone know if Union Square one is out?

 

[ParityBit]

You never know. I would say to try and sneak out during lunch.

The brickseek for target around my house is all UNKNOWN. No idea why it has not been updating, so I cant really monitor it.

Same. I almost wouldn't mind if it weren't for the 'we'll cancel in a week' part. Damn it.

 

[Ed-Silver]

Target here in Valley Stream (Long Island) has 167 units and about 50 people lined up here.

I heard Targets are getting at least 20 and close to 50.

My paypal payment apparently went through but the site said error. No email from thinkgeek tho. Hmmmm.
