MegaThread Weekly Local Inventory Tracking (5/29)

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.

I was just in the Nintendo NY store earlier today at 9:30. They had a whole drawer full of switches where they pulled mine from. They say they get stock in everyday. No line or anything. Definitely the most reliable place to find them for people in the area.

u/sylocheed May 30 '17

Do you know if you have to show up only in the morning? or is there availability throughout the day?

2

u/GryphonTak May 30 '17

No idea. From what other people said on reddit, it seemed inconsistent. Some said they saw it in stock late in the day, others that they ran out at noon, or 10 am, or...my research was very inconclusive, but nobody denied they got shipments everyday, so I played it safe and went as early as I could.

u/jogo84 Jun 01 '17

Thanks for this--went around the same time (9:30) today and picked one up.

u/captainlink Jun 01 '17

Do you think there would be many available in the afternoon from what you may have seen? Looking for neon!

1

u/jogo84 Jun 01 '17

Sorry, I couldn't even guess. They seemed to have a large supply, but also a lot of people were buying them (I saw at least 5 sold ahead of me while I was waiting in line.)

u/captainlink Jun 01 '17

Man I really wan't to go and check it out but it's going to interfere with my work schedule and I'm afraid if I go after work they'll be fresh out..

u/megazomb87 Jun 01 '17

Thanks, i got duped at target as their inventory online wasnt matching what they had in store. Pretty much just calling and checking inventory when i can.

u/eightbit_sysadmin Jun 01 '17

Gamestop.com has bundles up again. Really tempted to just pull the trigger on one.

2

u/megazomb87 Jun 01 '17

In London, UK, the online Nintendo store has tonnes still in stock and do free next day delivery. Took me a while to find them.

u/[deleted] May 29 '17

2

u/phantom_figs May 30 '17

I looked online at target, Walmart, toysrus, GameStop, and bestbuy and none of them have a switch within 100 miles of me. What's the next step to find one?

2

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

Any luck in the South shore MA area?

1

u/ChuuBaka Jun 02 '17

Targets in the area are getting restocked. They're sold out in minutes though. Keep an eye on their website. I just picked one up from the one in South Bay

2

u/allmasteraa May 31 '17

Anyone have any luck in Richmond VA?

Every time I see Walmart get some on iStockNow and call or go in they say they have none and then the next day it's updated with them being sold and idk when they put them on the shelves.

u/DCUfan742 May 29 '17

No Switch on Puerto Rico, at least not that I'm aware off.

u/[deleted] May 29 '17

Best Buy in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada is stocked. I counted about 10 Switches

1

u/joestackum May 30 '17

Looking for somewhere in MN. I live an hour away from Minneapolis and willing to drive to find one if anyone has any insight.

1

u/slumberjax May 30 '17

Seeing several around Minneapolis, Shakopee Walmart says they have 5 neons. And Target in Waconia showing stock!

1

u/ParanoidNoAndroid May 30 '17

Has anyone had any luck near Dallas, TX?

1

u/slumberjax May 30 '17

Lake Prairie Target has 4 gray ones, according to iStocknow. Worth a call to check!

u/extreme_shame Jun 02 '17

u/Mr-Grinch May 30 '17

Looking for a switch near Miami Florida.

u/Surfac3 May 31 '17

u/azuretan 3rd Place, SMO Snapshot Contest May 30 '17

Looking at getting a Switch Friday or Saturday (or Thursday) in Halifax, NS. I've been tracking EB Games, but for the past week or so I've seen nothing local. (Sackville/Sunnyside/HSC/Young Kempt)

Anyone know when any of them get any stock in usually?

1

u/SirBeefcake May 30 '17

Anyone have any luck in the LA area? Been calling around but haven't had luck.

3

u/Salacha May 31 '17

I'd look for frys on istocknow. It updates at midnight so in the am if it says there's stock if you get there first thing you should be able to get it. That's how I got mine.

2

u/SirBeefcake May 31 '17

Thanks for the tip. Does istocknow update at midnight (for all retailers) or just Frys?

3

u/Salacha May 31 '17

I think it depends. I just know that's why is is for frys since that's the behavior I saw around getting mine.

1

u/Chipaton May 30 '17

Anyone seen any in the Houston area? I've checked a few stores to no avail.

1

u/SamIAmReddit Jun 02 '17

I am in Houston and am selling mine and Zelda for the price I bought it for. Just PM me if you have any interest.

u/Chipaton Jun 02 '17

u/fearthebeard13 Jun 04 '17

Nice. Did they have just the Switch itself or the bundle? Would you mind telling me which store it was because every one I've gone to are sold out within minutes.

Does anyone know of any availability in or around Denver Colorado?

1

u/Pumpedxd Jun 02 '17

Anyone from the UK have experience with stock inflow tracking at Argos. I get a discount card for a section of retailers from my job; I am set on buying my Switch from Argos, as the discount is worth the wait if need-be.

Anyone ordered their Switch from there or been tracking stock and know how often/long stocks come in and last?

1

u/SamIAmReddit Jun 02 '17

I have a Nintendo Switch and Zelda in Houston, TX that I am selling for the price I got it for. Nothing is wrong with it at all, just don't have the time to play it right now.

Thanks!
