[cool...but rude]

Just got a "delayed shipping" email from toys r us. They put in bold its not a cancellation email though. If it does cancel, oh well...one will do. They BETTER not cancel my controller though. Those seem hard to come by

Edit: Just got the same email for the controller

This is crazy. First time in years wife tells me exactly what she wants for Christmas and it had to be this. Unfortunately I can't hit the pavement like I used to with a little one but I hope they stagger the release so I have a shot.

Bro you must get this toy for her, by any means necessary!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Like every other piece of electronics I'll just wait for the restock when they flood the market. But I'm definitely getting one of these in the future.

Nintendo is full of ****. The shortage was to create demand, these little systems could have been sent by the boatload. Makes me not even want one.

I got lucky went to my local best best and they had 50 of them... then they gave out tickets i got ticket #29

Got to bb around 8am and the store opens at 10am there must have been at least 80 ppl standing out there today

The last time I stood in line for a product was for the 2009 yeezy release.

I decided to go to my local target, got there around 7:20. Waited about 20 minutes and the manager came out stating that he had 16 consoles and I was number 17.

I was going to go home, but decided to check out Toys R Us. They had 26 consoles and I was number 14.

Most of the people in line were 30+. Both stores also released some toy called hatchianimal. There were several older moms in line and they got both items.

 

[nanbeezy]

My Terget had 27...I was #9 in line. Manager handed out tickets, it was welll organized and a seem less purchase.

Copped one luckily.

Need an extra controller! What's up with stores not stocking enough with the consoles? There was only ONE controller for the 11 consoles they had...

Got to my Target at 6:30 (They opened at 7) and I was the sixth person in line. By the time the store opened there was about 50+ people in line. They opened the doors and people started running to the electronics department. Luckily, people stayed in their original line order so there was no cutting. Looked like they had 5-7 shipping boxes with 6 systems in each box. The funny thing is that they only had two controllers. It was limit 1 per person, glad I got there early as Wifey really wanted this for Christmas.

One odd thing i've noticed in reading the other locations had odd amounts like 17 , 3 or, 9. If these things are shipping in 6 per box then someone is lying. Wouldn't be surprised if employees are holding onto them.

What's the word on Amazon? Done deal too?
