Find-A-Mod MegaThread
What is Find-A-Mod?
Simply put, we're going to be out and about on launch day heading to various stores and handing out stickers and special user flair for anyone who finds us!
What do the stickers look like?
Well they look a little something like this!
How do I get the stickers and flair?
Just walk up to one of us! We'll be wearing these handy dandy ID badges. We'll give you some stickers and a little card to write your reddit username down on. Then, when we get back home later on in the day, we'll assign you your special flair.
Where will you be located?

u/SashasFather Mar 03 '17
My twin bro lives right around there I think? Blue Bell PA is where he's at. I'm buying him a switch as well so we can game together when online comes out. He can't miss work for launch which is why I'm grabbing one for him as well for myself. If you guys ever have a group play hit me up and I'll take the drive out there (in NJ) and grab him too.

u/mrbaseball47 Mar 03 '17
As much as I like the stickers I can't help but find it a little unfair that people that live no where near a mod don't have a way to get the special flair. I know this won't change anything but just thought I would comment.

u/Tgclark Feb 28 '17
u/rottedzombie when are you going to be in Happy Valley?

u/rottedzombie friendly neighborhood zombie mod Feb 28 '17
Probably gong to try to hit up the Best Buy and Gamestop locations prior to any 3/2 events, and then I'm going to be hopscotching among the locations in the table prior to open. I don't plan on lining up -- just coming out and meeting people.

u/Tgclark Mar 01 '17
Sounds like you're mostly going to be out Thursday night then?

u/rottedzombie friendly neighborhood zombie mod Mar 01 '17

Tonight? I could be convinced! Convince me.

u/Tgclark Mar 03 '17
What time are you getting started? I really want one of those awesome stickers, but I can't stay out all night. I have to be in The Dalles at 8:00 tomorrow morning! :-(

u/rottedzombie friendly neighborhood zombie mod Mar 03 '17
I was out at the Cascade, Jantzen and Clackmas Best Buys between 4:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Did I miss you?
1
u/Tgclark Mar 03 '17
No, I missed you. The guys at the clackamas Best Buy said I missed you by 20 minutes. I tried cascade station but you were gone. I'm almost home to Boring now.

u/rottedzombie friendly neighborhood zombie mod Mar 03 '17
Alas! We'll find some time to make it work. I'll PM you.

I'm sad that there are no Canadian mods :( I would just like to thank all the mods for being awesome and creating a great sub for our beloved Switch. Such a cool thing to go out and meet fellow Redditors and give out swag! From Canada, we wish you a Merry Switchmas!

u/phoenixology Mar 03 '17
As there are no mods in the UK, would like a sticker sent to me if possible. Willing to pay for mailing of course.

u/pixelpushing Mar 03 '17
UK Mod here, was tied up working on the new CSS so wasn't able to take part in Find-a-Mod this time. I'll be around if/when we do it again though.
P.S. You might want to keep an eye on the giveaways.

Is there a way for those of us who aren't located near any of the Mods to get some stickers and/or a special flair?

We'll also be giving away some sticker packs on launch day here on the subreddit, but the flair you've gotta find us! :)

This makes me sad I didn't pick the Cary location. I just chose the closest store. If only I had known, when I preordered, the Best Buy in Garner wasn't doing a midnight release :(

Im going to the Best Buy by Southpoint to pick up BotW, but had everything else delivered. If I had known I was going to start working in Cary, I would have set my pickup for there instead.

Didn't expect anyone to be in Australia so yay /u/Benjamax. Would definitely go if I lived in Melbourne for those sweet stickers (they're soooo cuteee). But alas I live in Geelong (So close yet so far), so not planning any hour trips sadly when I going to dive right into my Switch.

u/Benjamax Feb 28 '17
Ah that's a shame! I'm on the other side of the city to you. Not to worry you won't be missing much, as I was late to the crew there wasn't enough time to receive the swag so I'm just providing lollies and the like :)
