Hey folks.
I decided the night before the Switch launch that I want one (or want Zelda, in particular), and so I am trying to acquire a unit. I'm hoping this can be a back and forth with others trying to do the same, as far as suggestions as to who is getting shipments and when, etc.
I'm in northern Virginia (Alexandria). I got in line at Toys R Us in Baileys Crossroads, VA Sunday morning.

See that kid in the red jacket immediately in front of me? He was the 25th person in line and got the last ticket. So close!
I called local Toys R Us today and asked but they don't know when they're getting more. Target doesn't know either.
With past Nintendo consoles (I waited in line for the Wii in November 2006 and succeeded at a Best Buy on launch day), do stores typically get several shipments per week? Every day?
Any tips? I'm watching Prime Now and NowInStock, but don't expect those to be my hero.
Good luck out there.

[doublepost=1488827901][/doublepost]Walmart in DC on H St. just told me (I called) they they just got the one shipment for launch and they're "not getting any shipment ever -- that's it." Take that for what it's worth...
