Vote with your wallet. Buy it if you think what Nintendo is doing is okay, if this is how you want to be treated; the choice is yours.

That's fair - I'm hoping the thread is helpful though for those trying to get ahold of one and not have to pay over retail on any marketplace.

Just got one at Target after clicking the "Place Order" button about 80 times.
Mine went through but then checked my purchase history and said cancelled due to technical reasons. Be sure to verify

Became available like 2-3 minutes later.
Thanks, it died on my pc browser and my app so i was trying walmart but since u said it came back, i went back and got it to load in my app and by stuttering and refreshing for 5 mins, barely scraped out into the checkout. Had to input my address and my card a few times (like it wasn't saved, even though it was and I was logged in) and it told me over and over there was a problem with my cart and i couldn't finish checking out, and then finally it just died and said there was a problem, try again. BUT I got an email saying my target card was charged, and it somehow stuttered through. The email timestamp was 9 mins after the drop. gl everyone. >_>

Managed to get through the process at Target re-loading a ton, but then had to re-enter my shipping info since it didn't load which in turn made me have to re-enter my card info, but it is there in my purchase history so hopefully all good (no order email yet).
