Until they became widely and easily available, they will all be gone by Noon Friday.

It's actually listed in the Sunday Target ad in the paper. Limited quantities and no rain checks, still I was surprised.

Maybe. It's hard to gauge what the day-one interest in this will be.

What will really matter is how fast Nintendo can send additional stock. They'll want to have enough sitting on shelves that anyone can walk in and buy one if they want, but not so many as to have retailers start sending back stock.

They seem to be varying shipments based on expected demand.

I still plan to get to Target at 6am with my phone, spare batteries and a bottle of water, with my folding chair. If they have more than the line, I'll buy another for a friend.

I've generally found Best Buy easier to deal with than Target in these limited quantity items that will sell out as soon as they are in stock.

They probably won't allow you to buy more than one.

Maybe no more than one at a time. Possibly if he gets back into the end of the line, or if he waits until the line disappears and he grabs one off the shelf, he could buy a second one.

Sure they will if I get back in line and they have more.

These are decent numbers for initial shipments - even though they'll sell out immediately, at least it'll discourage scalpers, especially since they're going with a 1 per-person limit.

If those numbers are all accurate, props to Nintendo for delivering stock. Hope they can keep a steady supply too.

Some of the stores with bigger numbers will distribute to other stores. I think its pretty clear that most stores will have over 50 units per store, which will be nice.

This is looking pretty good so far. Let's hope the entire selling season is a success (i.e. all interested get one).

Maybe it was posted already, but can someone please help me figure out how to look this up for my local Target or other stores, please? Is there one of those brickseek links this time?

Those initial shipment numbers seem impressive. Let's see how it goes.

I have no intention of standing in line early in the morning waiting at either location. I want to be able to walk in casually and see it on the shelf. But, I'm fully anticipating that these initial shipments will sell out. I hope with more shipments coming out and an abundance of stock that this will fuck over the Ebay scalpers hard and they will be stuck with hundreds of dollars of unsold product that they can't sell.

They're having some launch party for this thing at the Nintendo store in midtown NYC, but I'd have to stand in line... I'll probably just wait until the middle of the week to pick one up instead.

The console is going on sale this Friday.
Do you mean waiting until the middle of next week to try to find one?

So the wireless Hori gamepad is up on Amazon and at $25 is a lot more reasonable than I expected.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6GCN70

I'll be waiting on reviews, as I don't find Hori always delivers on their reputation and that battery bump could get in the way of fingers. But there's promise here.

I hate the redundant L/R buttons on the keypad area. I'll wait for a better alternative.
