I couldn't find this either.  You could lookt at a high-quality scan from eBay.  Maybe other, better sources of stock photos. (I'd do it but, on a meeting and talking...)

A lovely Walmart employee said she would put one up for me. We shall see.

I just got off the phone with my local Walmart and the guy said they got at least 30 (if not more). He talked to the manager and they will sell them at midnight tonight.

I collect SNES, and have extras I need to rid myself of. If you have needs, worst thing you can do is ask if I have it, or view my FS thread!

Im going to wait like 2 weeks to see if I can get one. Just going to throw it on the shelf anyways.

I wish luck to all the people lined up at 12am with the sweaty neckbeards and scumbag resellers.

Godspeed young fanboys, Godspeed.

Heh, are you going to drive by people who have lined up and shoot them with a paintball gun?

I just had the same notification from Best Buy here in the US. Once you get handed a ticket are you free to leave the line and come back at your leisure?

My local Best Buy is also doing 7AM tickets, and Target is doing 8AM tickets.  So those two are out for me, just will not work into my morning schedule with work and the kids.  When I called GameStop the guy on the phone still had no idea what their plan was going to be.

However, Walmart is doing first come first serve when they open at 6AM, so that might be doable if I choose to try for one in the morning.

Not sure.... they'd likely give you until the end of the day though I'd imagine. That's where I got my NES CE last year; Go my ticket at 7am, store didn't open until 10am, and I went in after lunch sometime without issue. I can't remember how long I could have waited, but I think it was the end of the business day if I recall correctly. At the very least I am happy they are actually announcing times. That was always more frustrating to me than the limited stock, especially with online stuff. It's really looking like anyone who puts in a little effort will likely walk away with one tomorrow morning.

Pretty sure you have until the store closes that day to claim yours.

On brickseek a few local Targets show inventory at 43, 43, and 59 units.

Out of the 4-5 local Walmarts and Targets around me one Target is showing 84 available and that is the highest amount.  All the others are in the 30-40 range. 

What I really want to know though, is after this first supply is gone how fast will Nintendo replenish.  Is it going to be a steady stream every week, or will they trickle in and be impossible to get unless really lucky?

If I were you I'd be trying to get one asap. I wouldn't trust Nintendo to be throwing a constant supply of these out every week even if they say they will be stocked into the new year. The 'restock' of the NES CE was more or less non-existent.

My local Target got a few units every few days.

Best Buy withheld stock to accumulate stock for at least 2 different "events" where they made 20+ units available each time.

Walmart, ...who even knows? My local store is a 24 hour location, so you couldn't line up and wait for the store to open and get one. Youd' have no idea when/if they'd put any out, so I didn't even try after the launch. Employees were probably funneling all the after-launch units to friends/family.

You're probably right.  Tomorrow might be the best chance to get one, but who knows.  Definitely seems like Nintendo are fullfilling their promise of better inventory.

Also, I did manage to get two separate orders of the NES Classic from Best Buy during one of their restocks back in February.  It was HARD though.  Many fist pumps were made that day lol.

haha I bet. Lucky to grab one during that time, but I wouldn't depend on it by any means. I think tomorrow is a good bet if you're able to show up somewhere an hour or so before opening.

I am actually a noob with going to product launches.  I have no idea how early ahead of time I should show up to first come first serve or ticket hand out stores.

Two hours ago both my WalMarts showed 40 in stock. Now when I rechecked, one is marked as SOLD OUT zero in stock, and every other Walmart has their supply at the same as it was two hours ago. Some BS right there. I called the store with the zero supply and they are doing a ticket lineup which may help my chances, but we will see.

Don't trust the numbers shown on Brickseek.  The other day after showing stock levels at the store locations, they all suddenly went marked as "Out of stock" and to check back later.  Its something wrong with the website.  I'm sure all the stock is still at that store.

My Walmart has 37 in stock and they start a line at 10pm and hand out tickets, then you can get one at midnight. I did stop by and so far no people standing around so maybe if I go at 9:30 I can easily get a ticket for one at 10pm.

I find with these lineups an hour is usually the sweet spot. Typically, at least locally, the line will go from about 10 to 20 people to about 50-100 between right around the hour mark, maybe even a little closer to open/ticket time. I live in a small city (one of each big box store), so people will likely have more competition in bigger cities.

I lined up for more than 4 hours when NES CE launched. Probably going to line up for 3 hours tonight.
