I was way to tired to go to Best Buy last night and I couldn't take off work today so I skipped it. I did stop at Target this morning as the stock guy said they had the Zelda controllers in the back when I talked to him last night. I got in line and all they had was the game and the console. :( I was tempted to get the console and return my regular switch 2 that I have stashed for the kids, but I thought it was better to let the rest of the people in line get a chance at the console as they only had two left when I got up there. I might run over to Bet Buy at lunch time to see if they have any controllers left.

I called Best Buy and they didn't have any in stock. :( They did say that there was some that could be delivered but then said that they sold out before they could set me up with an order for it. The website has been saying sold out since they came out, so I don't know what they were looking at. She said that they expect to get more in next week, and that they would email me whenever they become available again. I am bummed but hopeful.

Nintendo store sent another alert about the consoles being back in stock. Same thing. After I got the page to load and added it to my cart, it was already gone. Target sit3 is saying they'll have more available in stores/online tomorrow. I'm so tired of getting my hopes up, but I'm too stubborn to give up yet.

I'm about to have some fun today!

Controller is again thanks to that one friend of mine. He let me buy the one he got a ticket for at Best Buy when we went last night. They only got 12 controllers in total at that location.

I ended up standing in line to help buy a Zelda Switch 2 console for his cousin.

Game was a late B-day gift that thankfully arrived this morning.

My only mild disappointment about the controller is that the Nintendo online shop had a bundle where you got a really nice stand for the thing, and it seems that was the ONLY way to get that stand. You can't just buy it on its own, so I guess I'm going to have to find some custom thing to hold this controller.

Well, it costs $10 extra just to get that, and it not the best stand. It doesn't charge or even hold the controller that well from the reviews I saw.

I don't care about charging, but yeah if it doesn't even do a good job of holding the thing, the whole point of it, then maybe I'm better off.

No, hey, yeah, I was next in line. But sure! Ho help this other guy find some game he doesn't know what the hell he wants and start checking him out first. No, that's great!

So last night the missus got a security gig for Best Buy in Overland park, watching the midnight release. She got there early, saved me a spot, and I got a console, a controller, and a foil copy of the game!
I'm quite pleased.

Oh, and my DCC stuff came in. Yesterday was a good day.

Target's website said more consoles would be available today. Even though the site already said sold out at 6am, decided to give the local Targets a shot. There were already long lines waiting. Oh well, had to get other stuff so might as well wait. It wasn't until I was close to the front if the line that I realized people were there for a new Pokemon card release, not the Switch. Waited anyway b/c I didn't want people thinking I was trying to cut the line. Nada. I think I'll check the online sites once a week for a bit, but unless I get really lucky with seeing one in person, I don't think it's gonna happen. Sigh.

Yeah, I went back to Target after work as they said that they would have some controllers in the back, so I went to check but they didn't. :( Said that they sold out on the 29th.

And to top it all off, my copy from Amazon was delayed until Monday. :( I don't need it now as it's a Christmas gift for the kids, but after all this fruitless searching for the controller it would have been nice to get the game on time.

Isn't Amazon pretty notorious for not getting games to people on release day? That's why if I preorder a game, I'll do it at nrick and mortar if possible.
