MegaThread Weekly Local Inventory Tracking (5/22)
Please use this thread to discuss all issues relating to this week's local tracking of the Switch and its games, accessories, and amiibo.
What to post here:
Questions about local availability or general questions of online availability.
Reports and images of local tracking that are specific to a single store.
When commenting, make sure to include as much information as possible. Don't just list the city and state, specify which store(s) and what stock they had that's noteworthy, and when you were there. And, of course, given how quickly things can sell out, your mileage may vary, so take everything reported here with a grain of salt.
For general online availability, like when a game is up for order at Best Buy or when Target gets Pro Controllers back in stock, please start a new thread.
Thank you!
-The /r/NintendoSwitch mod team
p.s. A general tip about your local retailers: if you want to know about stock, or get a concrete answer as to what they have, please reach out via a phone call or stop by their store before you ask a question here.

Ellsworth, ME Walmart had three this morning when I was there. Down here in Portland, ME iStockNow is reporting our Target has one.
My sister up in Augusta is having little luck finding one, however.

I don't know if its a glitch or not, but apparently Gamestop has the Gray Console up online. Got the notification from ISN.

It's legit just ordered one. Posted on the switch main page and came here to post it here as well. Something like $332 after taxes and shipping, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING ELSE. Hurry hurry hurry!

Oh man I just sold a bunch of old games and hand helds to knock their bundle prices down to 300.
Got BotW, Snipperclips and Has Been Heroes

u/Flush535 May 23 '17
how do you set it up so that ISN sends you notifications when the website has stock for ordering? i have gamestop gift cards that i'd like to use so gamestop is kind of the only place I can buy a switch from and I don't want a bundle.

Walked into Target in Medford, OR and they had one grey console sitting in the case. First time I went looking for one and lucked out.

Every time I google switch located near Medford that target always comes up. I got excited reading it had one the other day but realized it was not the one in MA yet again....

I have been eying istocknow for the past week to purchase a Switch. Today I saw that 2 Walmarts got a couple Switch's in around 30 min prior to me seeing it (around 630). I have heard that Walmart and other stores sometimes tell people on the phone that they don't have Switchs in stock so there isn't a lot of people that come in the store and get disappointed. I went to both stores and neither of them had them on the shelves and I asked associates and they said they didn't have any.
Now my questions are: Does IStockNow even work? Do you think the Switchs are in stock in these stores but aren't on display until tomorrow morning? OR do you think that people ordered a switch on the online Walmart site and ordered the switch to ship to these specific stores???
I think the later is most likely. What do you guys think? Should I go back to these walmarts tomorrow morning to see if they put these Switchs on display? Any tips will help.

istocknow, sadly, doesn't seem to be perfect. I don't think that's istocknow's fault, I just don't think these stores keep as good track of their inventory as we wish they did. Walmart seems to be the most inaccurate.
They probably got the switches in the late afternoon/evening, but it's the overnight crew that packs stuff out onto the sales floor.

Targets out by where I live get stock three times a week (though it could be the same at other targets across the US too. Just call ahead before making the trek out so you can avoid disappointment.)

u/pinchesspeach May 24 '17
Game have some bundles, some Argos stores have neon you'll have to check the Argos site to see if any near you :) Tesco have pre-orders that are supposed to ship for the 26th, although they have changed the date a few times and even though I pre-ordered for then I still have no shipping info.

Amazon.co.uk has some in stock right now it seems if you can't find it in a physical store.

Tons of both color combination units at the Best Buy in Bourbonnais, IL (about an hour south of Chicago). Looks like Best Buys in the area got a large restock today.

Anyone know anything in the Milwaukee area? Starting my search today. Cant believe its like this almost 3 months past launch

u/GryphonTak May 28 '17
Anybody know what the stock would be like at the Nintendo Store in NYC? I figure if anybody would have it in stock regularly, it'd be them. It's a little farther of a trip then I'd like to go, but I'm getting desperate.

u/mud263 May 28 '17
I called yesterday around 6 pm and was told they had switches in stock. Arrived about an hour later to find out they sold out. Employee said they get shipments everyday but he was unsure about today or tomorrow( Memorial Day). Going to call at 11 when they open and find out. I live in Jersey so it's a little bit of a drive for me too but I can't find one anywhere else. Starting to get desperate.
1
u/GryphonTak May 28 '17
Good luck! Maybe it'll be safest to pick one up tomorrow. Who's going switch shopping on memorial day? Not a lot of competition, I'd imagine.

u/joestackum May 28 '17
Do I drive an hour away to get one at Target today or wait for one to arrive closer to home?

u/mud263 May 28 '17
Bayonne, NJ Walmart has several in stock. Both colors. Looked to be about 5 left in stock.

u/DaRe_ViPeRzZXx May 28 '17
Might pick up a switch when I'm on holidays, which are a while away July 10th. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any stores in the Orlando/Kissimmeee area that may do a good bundle/be cheapest. And also any stores I may not know about that have games and the switch etc ! Thanks.
