I'm arriving 25 minutes before 8AM because the store I am going to received a lot of them and they have a one per customer limit.
 
How do you know they have a 1 per customer limit?

I talked to the manager and a few employees. Not all stores are going to have limits.

The mobile site shows no stock for the stores nearest to me. Shit......

The mobile site has been showing stock and then a few minutes later it says information is currently unavailable so I think it is having issues right now. I would try in the morning or later if you are still awake.
 
Not sure tbh. Mightyape (New Zealand) are all I can think of that might ship internationally. All they have left are Bowser and Rosalina atm though.

They do ship to the US, I've actually ordered something from there before, haha.

Its 17$ USD for S&H though, so order more than a singular thing if you're thinking of doing that way.
 
Break in and have a look.

This.
While you're checking the stock, mind grabbing me one?

Ahh crud. I hope all managers know it's an exclusive and knows to enforce it from past experiences of Target exclusives.


that's a good one. Didn't even think of that lol. Well I actually thought of it earlier when doing the app screenshots but not now so I got a good laugh out of it.

Probably gonna wake up at 7, get ready, leave at 7:30. Since it's right down the street from me, it should take less than a minute to drive there, barring an accident or something.

Edit: Quoting the right post is hard.

I'm going to go 30 mins. till.

It's only about 5 min. from my house and a foot a snow is falling tonight so the roads will be clear.
 
So am I paranoid leaving to get there like 3hrs before opening?

Depends on your area really. I'm of the mantra better safe than sorry.

However, my Rosalina is in the mail atm. I'm going to pick up some extras to share with a few people that have requested them of me if I can.
 
I'm going an hour early tomorrow but I have a sinking suspicion I will be the only one there. Something tells me nobody around here cares about these things as much as I do.
 
As long as I'm there when the store opens, I'm confident that I can outrun and outmuscle just about anyone else unless scalpers are bringing in ringers.

Listening to Let it Go to get myself pumped though
 
Now your all joking and making it worse... Contemplating....
I mean hell besides the one I want all extras will be for the CisoR list...
 
To the people leaving hours early, I've got to ask: why are you doing that to yourselves? Hours of time spent when you could just pay extra and get an import or eBay. Sure it's more money but is that really worth 3-8 hours of your life? I'd understand if you were getting a whole wave or something and buying locally would save a lot of money but just for Rosalina?
 
Go now and sleep in the car! Set an alarm to wake up every half an hour to see if a line is forming!

30 minutes seems a bit long. Should just set it to 15 minutes. I mean if 1 scalper shows up per minute. In 30 minutes, that's 30 scalpers and with stores averaging 20 or so Rosalinas, you're going to be out of luck. I think 15 minutes would be the perfect time.
 
Maybe its because I have no interest in Rosalina, but something tells me that unless a scalper buys all stock in the morning, you guys won't have much trouble finding them, just be there by opening time.

Thats just it I have met the scalper in my area many times... He doesnt habe a job and does this shit for a living...

Yea 15 minutes makes more sense!
 
I can't wait to hear stories about scalpers unable to buy all the Rosalina because of the 1 per customer limit. Hopefully it'll be better compared to the Lucario ones.
