NES Classic Mini re-releasing 6/29/18 retail $60

[bigjny88]

Like I've advised many people before.....if you don't wanna camp out at 12 AM, at the very least DRIVE BY THE STORES around midnight to see if a big *** line is forming.

If there isn't a big crowd forming at midnight, then yeah.......a 4 AM or 5 AM lineup may be "ok." ("Ok" is the keyword, not good or great).

Otherwise, be prepared for the disappointment if you see something that may go OVER the expected stock inventory numbers.

That being said, you guys aren't taking into account that the expected inventory numbers may go towards in-stock preorders.

Especially with Target and Best Buy doing "in-store only" for most of their preorders, you bet damn well that a big portion of 50+ or 100+ or 200+ stock is going towards people that managed to snag a preorder (aka those ******* resellers).

So as good as those numbers look............60% of those Brickseek/Zoolert numbers may be in-store preorders.

sheesh

Yeah and I live in a smallish town

Best to use the drive by method (driving by local spots and start camping once you see a line start to gather)

Philadelphia is a major metropolitan, so you'll be aight.

Word but I have a few preorders lined up so hopefully they come through so I can avoid the in store nonsense altogether .

yea last year my best buy got 20 nes on release day. There were easily over 100 ppl out there before store opened.

They gave out 20 tickets and told everyone afterwards that theyd have no more. But since it wasnt an employee who said it, everyone waiting anywhere.

Line got even more brolic after the 20 who got in got theirs

Make sure the place u go to is 1 per customer..someone can come and buy all of them

Pretty sure all of the stores will be "1 per customer" on release day for "non-preorders." I know damn well these retailers are at least smart enough to learn their lesson from the NES Classic fiasco INSTEAD of giving 50 units to the first (reseller) schmuck in line.

Any store that is not doing a "1 per customer" policy for their store release has already backdoored 80% of their stock to some reseller.

You can't right now.......them cats know how to hide their **** on the DL. Possibly might see the numbers around Wednesday or Thursday as we get closer to release.

It'll be a coin flip on that one at the moment

 

[kdslittlebro]

This the last big shebangabang for TRU. They'll have all the stock

Target got a ****-ton though.......so its hard to say if Toys R Us could eclipse their stock numbers

WELP RIP Best Buy.

copped

Just realized there's a target next to my gamestop

Yeah, saw this on Reddit.

Its whatever at this point, this Amazon preorder that I copped is going to my homie who didn't want to camp for a SNES Classic anyway.

I'm just kinda annoyed that an online retailer like Amazon be sleepin' on the job at this point while Best Buy, Walmart, and Target already shipping their preorders out.

I'll have mine on release day........in my hands..........at Gamestop........at 10 AM.....while I laugh at all the peasants at the FCFS line that camped 'til 3 AM in the morning.
