We have a Target on the main drag around here and another one about 10-15 minutes off the beaten path near where I work. Hoping to get lucky on my lunch break there. I could take my lunch any time this morning I'm just so resigned to not getting Robin/Lucina I don't even care to put in the extra effort lol.

EDIT: Going to lunch in a half an hour. Constitution -3

Got to my Target this morning. I was handed a card with the number 17, and the friendly employee told me they only have 16 Jigglypuff. What luck right?
Thankfully, not everyone in line wanted a Jigglypuff, and I'm now one away from having the original 12 from Smash Brothers Cast. Good luck finding a Ness though :(
The Splatoon 3 pack sold out, all they had was boy and girl, but from what I'm reading those Amiibo only enhance the single player. Multiplayer I hear is where it's at, but I'm still waiting on Splatoon's reviews and seeing how their server management is handled before I jump on that potential-impulse buy!

I had two Splatoon 3 packs on preorder and cancelled one, then both. I still think we'll see them. Just too much money. Love the look of the packaging though.

As for Splatoon the game, I was going to buy a Wii U because of it but without voice chat there's no point in peer pressuring my friends to get one as well while I play in silence. That's potentially two or three consoles they didn't sell due to being in the stone age. I get the family friendly thing, but if you care so much just put a parental lock on the voice feature or something. Don't screw everyone who's been enjoying the feature for the last 10 years.

Geez stores are handing out line cards for these things? Might as well go check ebay, we know where most of them are going. :)

I hope by luck of wandering around at some point I can find Pac-Man. I think the Fire Emblem characters could be fun but again my interest is in my childhood classics and I hope they re-print those again and crush the scalpers.

Got Greninja, Splatoon 3 pack, Silver Mario, and Pac-Man. Got a Jigglypuff on preorder as well (might trade).

My Toys R Us had at least 30 Greninjas maybe 40. I was in the back of a line of 12-15 people and got everything but Robin and Lucina (god dammit).

Side note: Apparently Alpha Omega Sin lives in Pittsburgh. I roll up and he's at the front of the line. Seemed like a really nice guy how he was talking to people.

Silver Mario shouldn't be too hard to get, he was up on walmart.com this morning. I don't think he has been on best buy yet. Plus Amazon will be up later. Greninja, good luck I need it myself. though I heard stores had a lot I'm just wasn't driving 4 hours total to own one.

If I see silver Mario go up today on BB, I'll order you one, I get free shipping anyways.

I think this will be common since you can't get the squid guy outside of the 3 pack. I nabbed one but would like Robin and/or Lucina instead. I really dig the packaging on the Splatoon ones though.
