I wasn't going to get one.
Truly.
I was going to wait till an Animal Crossing was announced.
But... then my nephew expressed interest in going to Target before they opened in the hopes of snagging one.
This sounded like a fun Adventure, so he slept over the night before and we woke up at 3:30 in the morning. Or, at least, I did. He slept straight through the
alarm. The Vltava river was practically gushing through the room and he just kept snoring away.
I woke him up at four and we bustled over to Target soon after that, arriving around 4:30. There was already a line of twenty or so people. We waited outside (had a very convenient planter box to perch on) and the line slowly grew behind us. People discussed many nerdy things -- and it sort of warmed the soul to hear a bunch of people talking about wholesome things they are so passionate about (there was a large discussion about Ninja Turtle action figures.)
At 6:30 Target employees came out and began walking down the line. They asked each person "Bundle?" and each with glowing eyes simply nodded and took a ticket like proper Charlie Buckets.
And I was one of them. I couldn't control myself.
Mario Kart World's great.
