I walked into Walmart this morning on my commute to work and snagged one. There was only one left after I got mine and I watched this mother give me a frantic glare as she say me with one and rushing to the counter. She is lucky I didn't buy two like I was considering.
 
Best know that when I get home I'm talking to Amazon customer service again and for this treasure truck and no delivery shit especially when I preordered on Aug 22 at 3am. They wanna play ball? Ok let's play ball. I'm gonna see how much more credit I can get knocked off my purchase. This just isnt right.
 
Local Tustin Best Buy - line of about 60+ folks, but no tickets handed out. Best Buy employee surveyed the line asking if anyone had a pre-order. None had one. Still no idea how many they got or if they’re offering tickets. Seems like for now we have to wait until 10am to find out anything.

Tried Target but they only had 50 and I was 56 in line. Said more would be coming next week.

Well local Best Buy came through - they started handing out tickets at 8am and stated they had the most of their stores in the area. So I’ll be getting mine today before 1pm (drop-dead pickup time for the held unit). Good luck hunting out there.
 
You should gift the brothers a mini if you're still in touch!!!
No need thankfully, the system broke but there was no visible damage at all so they returned it...to Boots i think (back when they sold games)
It was also only a day old so the shop took it back.
I've never been so scared my entire life. I also went to the same house to see an imported 64 with mario but had to sneak in when the brothers went out.
 
Just ordered mine as well in, Orlando. Gotta grab it between 12-8. Going after my wife gets out of work at 330 (I am at home watching my baby today). Woo!

Do you know what zip you used or which ones work? I live in west kissimmee so it says no trucks are in this area yet, but I used 32789 and it seemed to work.
 
FedEx why

Walked into GameStop at 10:09, got a walk-in one, walked out at 10:20. Easiest "limited" Nintendo launch I've ever taken part in.

Same story here bruh, ‘cept I popped in like two mins after opening. I think they only had 2-3 left after ringing mine up. I feel bad for the folks waiting hours and coming away with nothing.

My zipcode is 32809. It popped up on my phone as a text. The truck will be at Pointe Orlando near I-drive.
 
Picked up at BB (inane process... 50+ minutes to pay while having a ticket, single counter checkout), and back at work.

Tonight, putting it in a box and with a label "do not open till Xmas", and in the closet you go.

Mwahahahaha (goes insane)

I’ll wait till more get replinished in store. Gonna buy two extra now. One for the work and one for my folks. I await Wario tweets at 2am for online SNES classics
 
Anyone know what’s up with amazon? Don’t care if I don’t get today but still no update on shipping. Sorry if it has been answered, thread goes by fast
 
Local target had two, ran over and got one. If I can do that 30mins after release I'm betting this thing's going to be everywhere within a month.
 
Got mine. Hooked it up. It's sitting right on top of my PS4. My large TV only has 2 HDMI ports so I had to unplug my PS3 (which I use for blu ray movies) but it's all good. Gonna play Mario Kart with my friends tonight.
 
FedEx why

Mine is the same way - it's FedEx Smartpost which means they'll bring it most of the way here then hand it off to the local post office for delivery which always takes FOREVER.

I was hoping to have mine by next Thursday since it originally was going to be a birthday gift.
 
This infamous local news video of loser parents concerned about the SNES in back 1991 is even more hilariously pathetic now that SNES Classic is out:

I'm going to start a file on Secret of Mana tonight, will be my first time playing the game. I still have my Secret of Mana Nintendo Power from 1993 (with its awful cover art), been wanting to play it for years but never got around to it, same for FF III which will also be my first time. Have owned Chrono Trigger since release in '95. My only gripe about the system is there are no shmups, was really hoping Gradius III would at least make the cut. Oh well, can always add it later, heh.
 
A friend of mine came clutch and got me from at the EB Games inside of Erin Mills mall today (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada)

Apparently, they had a ton in stock. But if you got there after 9am. You were pretty much out of luck.
 
I have to say, over the years I've heard praise about SNES controllers but never had a chance to actually use them. Now that I've been given this opportunity to test them, they really are far more comfortable than I expected.
 
Just grabbed one off Treasure Truck Atlanta.

I've never used this before. Is TT reliable? I won't be able to pick it up until later, is amazon good about keeping them once they're paid for?

No word at all. Some people saying don’t expect your order for another 2 weeks or so. I canceled mine and went out to get one.
 
Should I buy one from a scalper or wait it out. I heard we won't see any more stock till Christmas.

Don't buy from a scalper. Stay diligent and you will get one eventually. Seems like there's a decent amount of stock. Some scalpers will end up returning once they see profit gain isn't that big.
 
NYC Amazon Treasure Truck order placed. Does that mean I'm guranteed to get mine as long as I show up before 8?

Yes if you have a QRC code it's attached to an order. Do NOT be late tho. They do NOT mess around. Make sure you arrive in the stated window.
 
I cannot believe some of you are so chilled that amazon are literally putting all your pre-orders in treasure trucks.
I would be going nuts. They should at least send peoples pre-orders first before doing this.

Good game, has co-op, and some of the most beautiful art work for a JRPG on that system. Hopefully you'll enjoy the combat as much as I did. I love their combat system they built for SoM.
 
My toys r us had 54
There were only 20 at opening but it'll sell out by the end of the day most likely
Saw two cars parking as I left

What's a "lol" doll? Saw a few people go buy one

I’m tempted to grab it now during my lunch break...but I’m real hungry.

I leave at 2 so I can pick it up from TT afterwards. My order should be locked, right? No chance of stock issues or anything?

I'm not chilled, I'm incensed. But I am slightly calmed because I was able to grab one from the Truck. My original pre-order can go to my colleague. In October lol.

Only if you arrive within the stated window. If you're late, you lose it.

It’s locked. There’s a set number available and they stop taking new orders when they sell out.

As long as you get there during the stated window, you’ll get your SNES Classic.
