The only reason I got an NES classic was I hawked the inventory sites for 2 months. There were times when the systems arrived and I worked so no luck. The day I got mine there was an alert that there were 5 expected in store at 9 am. Luckily I had the day off so I got up and stood in line for it. I was 3rd in line during the middle of the week. Opportunity met luck.
