I think the stock has slowed a little around my parts, but they seem to be dropping at Gamestops weekly and Wal-marts pretty frequently.

I keep hearing that but I still can't find anything. I can't get out of the house all that often so when I do go, there's nothing. Brickseek isn't working as well...I was hoping some people on here got in on the Gamestop online sales, but I guess not?

The online ones disappear within a minute or two whenever they pop up.   

At this point, you're gonna need to find out when either Toys R Us or Best Buy is restocking and get there when they open.  Those dates seem to get leaked a few days beforehand so you can prepare.

You can use NowInStock to monitor store and online inventory, but if one pops up online, you have to jump on it without hesitating.

I have yet to see a single one in stock in my area...scalpers are still scooping them up, but I'm seeing scalper prices level off around $110-120 on CL and FB Marketplace.

Ok, at this point we have 10 people remaining who've not yet refused. 15 individuals have refused for one reason or another, so I moved them to a "second chance" list. Last, there are krontastic and ZoNIE on the "Users who joined NA after this thread was started list". I'm going to move them up to the master list. I see no reason not to, at this point.

It seems like everyone's having a little tougher time finding these. I assume it's probably not because of lower stock but because it's the Christmas buying season and people are more apt to buy/look for items like this. Even if this is the end of this threads usefulness, I think it's been quite a success. Thanks participants! It's appreciated.

Best Buy usually has them, if you cant find them in the aisles ask an employee, they normally keep them in the back and only take a couple out at a time to prevent scalpers from grabbing them all.

^ Oh thank goodness your still finding them...

I've been calling ALL the local stores, Targets, Walmarts, Best Buys, Gamestops and even places like Fred Meyer...just on the random off chance. They're all giving me the same story, nothing in. One Gamestop did say the last shipment they got in was Friday though...so maybe...I might call that one again tomorrow and see since he said shipments can be between Wednesday and Friday.

It seems that all my local Gamestops are getting them weekly on Wednesdays.  Target and Walmart are harder to judge as my local places aren't scanning them in or something cause they don't pop up on my stock checker at all even thought the towns next to me do pop up every week with new deliveries.  I just stumbled upon one whilst out yesterday.  So keep after it ... I'm sure you'll get one.

Well I tried brickseek and two nearby Walmarts had some in stock according to it but...I called and nothing. One had 6 and the other 12...supposedly. Brickseek doesnt have Best Buy or Gamestop so it's just calling them whenever. And it isn't working for Target at all. Unless there's another place to check, I'm going to just have to call them.

Oh and just checked...supposedly the Walmart that had 12 now has 16 and the other has 0 now but says "limited stock". I hate brickseek it's not working right or something.

Yeah there was a decent discussion in one of these SNES classic threads about brickseek and its inability to produce.  I linked to another stock checker that has worked excellent for a few members here already:

I haven't tried the one Tulpa linked to but I'm guessing it is good too.  Have a god... they are just coming in to a lot of the Walmarts in Washington so you may get lucky.... ?

I could have sworn I made it a point to ask in person. There seems to be a change in procedure. Some places have units in stock, but do not show up on the usual websites. Calling ahead makes no difference as others may have heard they have units in stock and can get there before you... this happened to me when trying to buy a Switch earlier on. Good luck.

Ok something amazing happened...a true Hanukkah miracle (it's the first night of Hanukkah and I celebrate it and Christmas since family is laid back Jewish). So while I was writing that last post, and looking at stock numbers, I called my local Walmart that had the "limited stock" and I get on the phone and they tell me they had some yesterday...you mean the day I called?! So I got pissed off because the guy lied to me...probably didn't check at all. Anyways I thought...well they got those yesterday...what about other places? I called the other Walmart (the one I was at yesterday actually to get some food stuff...and I had asked them yesterday if they had any and they said no...) and guess what? Five in stock...oh dear god. I nearly fainted. So I get off the phone, run downstairs, BEG my mom to drive me...and we get there...and after running through the parking lot and the whole store...I get there. I ask. She leads me over...and there it is...the last one...the heavens opened up and angels sang. I got it...I finally got it...

I'm stunned honestly. I got one and it feels so good. Take me off the list  

If I can find one, there really is hope.

I can't find those cereals...that's my next mission. And my IBS flares up with dairy, not cereal...so long as I eat it with lactose free milk.
