Were you able to pre-order the themed switch?

I'm not seeing a cancellation email
It?s a really nice collector?s item but I?m honestly happy with my plain grey Switch. Just upgraded last year to the model with the revised battery life anyway. Sold my launch model for $300 yesterday which was a decent amount considering I bought it for $399 originally.
Could have kept it but I don?t mind just having the one island. Especially with how customisable they?ve made everything it?ll be fine.

Yep - this is exactly what I was worried about.
I was working a 16 hour shift when they announced it and I literally stepped away, called my boyfriend and said that he should order AS SOON as he got home. He didn't even get dinner first!
I'm sorry you didn't get to snag a pre-order. I've heard that Target restocks pre-orders that have been canceled at a certain time of night...search around and I'm sure someone knows when that is. I hope you can make it happen!

I'm curious - why two carts, and not one digital copy? You can share them between consoles.
No judgement - just curious!

Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price is the same as a regular switch in the US, or the price of a regular switch plus game in regions where it includes the game. But its sold out most places, and scalpers are charging more than MSRP.

Yep, I pre-ordered the day it was announced! I had literally been checking for news of one every day for months. I was actually worried I wouldn't like it though, because I was never a huge fan of the AC 3ds. But luckily I was absolutely in love with the Switch and ordered it instantly.
My fiance actually works at Target, so we used his discount, as well as an extra 5% off for using my Target card. So it came to about $275 usd including tax, which was really nice!
I also have the leaf case and the guide on pre-order

Yes!! I preordered mine the second it became available in my country (I refreshed the website every few seconds after it was announced...) and I managed to secure one! It sold out after a few days, unsurprisingly. I'm so glad because I don't have a switch so it was like all my waiting was worth it! I just wish they'd made more so everyone could get one...

Got it from Amazon US!
I pre-ordered mine from the Nintendo UK Store. I've had the money saved up for a while, waiting to see if there'd be an AC themed Switch, so I could jump on it just after it went on sale. Though I was getting to the point where I was thinking there wouldn't be a themed one and I'd have to just get a regular Switch instead, glad I held out a little longer XD

I preordered my wife’s on Feb 1st from GameStop. The kids and I already have Switches...

Little can stop the sun and moon from thier dance.
The AC switch is very cute, but I already had a switch lite which I love. I chose the lite for a few reasons one of them being they are cheaper and to me feel more sturdy for a clutz and I wanted to play pokemon as soon as it came out. Plus I didn't know if I wanted AC yet. I was only keeping an eye out for info on NH incase it interested me.
I wish they had the coral out though... I really like that one and would have picked it. I have the yellow though with a pastel blue back case with little grips and white and pastel orange thumbcaps with a foot print of a cat/dog. So it is colorful and cute to me.

I was gifted the pre-order from my fiance as a birthday gift. It will be my first switch.
If I had the money, I would've bought the themed switch and sold my other one. I'd at least like the case but I already have a Splatoon one and I feel like it'd be a waste to buy a second one simply for the aesthetics.

for a second I thought you were gonna say you smashed your switch and I was concerned until I read the rest of the sentence

I got a pre-order in on Amazon US as soon as it was available but decided a Switch Lite was much more suited to my needs. I bought my lite last week and cancelled my pre-order. The special edition is very cool but I play the game by myself and would never use it docked.

See, this is something I don't quite fully understand. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Switch Lite, but why wouldn't someone ever want to play the system docked? It's the only way to get full HD. No judgments of course, just curious. I will probably play it more often docked than in handheld mode.
I can't speak for this person but I mostly play handheld because it's more comfortable for me. There are no really nice comfortable spots where I can play on a monitor or tv and I can be wherever when playing handheld. I do play docked on occasion, and I can tell you that I'm considering doing it for ACNH, but that's my reason at least.

I'm someone who plays handheld about 90% of the time. Not really by preference though, but out of convenience.
I feel bad using our TV for my gaming too much when my fiance is home. Also, I usually play in bed to help me fall asleep and I take my Switch to work to play on breaks or slow days. Because I use it handheld so much, the power cord is usually unplugged from the dock. Sometimes when I have the opportunity to play docked I still play handheld because I don't feel like plugging everything back in and docking it lol. I'm usually pretty busy and sometimes I can only pick up a game for 15 minutes here and there and that just seems easier handheld.
But, I really do prefer docked when I have a good opportunity. Like today my fiance is at work, but I'm home all day. The house is clean, shopping is done...so I'm hooking that baby up to the TV to play DQXI, lol.
That being said...I am going to try to play ACNH docked a lot. I just really want that experience of playing on the big screen again. I'm usually really considerate of sharing the TV with my fiance, but I think I deserve to be a bit of a TV hog with AC, lol.
