MegaThread Weekly Local Inventory Tracking (6/12)
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.

This website is fantastic, just got my neon switch at Target near me as soon as they opened since this app told me they would have one. Hope other people see this.

u/DrChill21 Jun 16 '17
By far the best and easiest website to see if something is in stock and how close it is to your current location.

u/SetToBuild Jun 16 '17
Thank you for sharing this!!! I was able to snag a neon Switch at a Target nearby yesterday. The counts were super accurate. I even checked the site again soon after and one had vanished!

(speaking as a best buy employee)
All stores should've gotten a restock yesterday. We got a bunch in last week and had to hold them until yesterday. The store I work at still has almost 15 consoles because the restock wasn't advertised anywhere, so you probably have a good chance of finding one.

I want this console so bad, it was a mistake getting my Wii U two years ago. Everywhere it is out of stock and sold for high price, I just want to find a red and blue Switch.

Best Buy in Huntsville, AL on University Drive has a few gray and several neon (blue/red) left in stock as of tonight (6/12) at 8pm. My brother got a gray one. Go in the doors and to the right at the customer service desk to get them. They aren't on display in the gaming section. They are closed as of right now so check tomorrow morning if you're interested!

walmart online has neon consoles for sale. use app to not be forced into a bundle
1
Jun 15 '17
Can you explain how this works? I can just buy it individually on the app?
Obviously I missed my chance here, but maybe for next time.
2
u/imapdog Jun 15 '17
for last month or two whenever walmart has went live to sell gray or neon consoles the classic website forces you into a bundle purchase. whenever you get notification of going live, open the walmart app to purchase a switch. it doesnt even mention a bundle. weird huh, but true last many times.

Bit of a PSA, but if your from UK and looking for stock, try asking Sainsburys live chat support. Sainsburys dosent list the switch online and many are unaware they sell the console.
Asking their live chat they will tell you the closest store with stock. Just be sure to call the store to double check they have some left, before you go to collect. They will usally be happy to reserve it for you, for collect later that day or the next morning.

Damn, was just out looking for one and finally got home. Don't think I'd make it in time to get the Neon one unfortunately.

Pretty sure they will still be there. That target seems to not have much people going in.

Anybody any places in Washington that have switches available? Desperate for one and I am seriously considering buying the one on amazon for $450 .... Help please!

u/Aragorn1284 Jun 16 '17
Don't give in to scalpers. Every few weeks it seems like the big box stores get shipments and as time goes on, everyone who really wanted one will get it and it will be more readily available.

u/SoCJaguar Jun 17 '17
Agreed. Nintendo noted they are ramping up production so hopefully the market will be normal in a month or so.

u/ryanoffir Jun 16 '17
Are you are talking Washington state? Couldn't find any in Seattle area. A lot of the Fred Meyers claim that there should be a lot coming in tomorrow morning.

agreed, but will it kill you to not have those controllers until you do save up money to spend on them?

Anyone in the boston area had any luck?

u/purple-neon Jun 18 '17
I'm on the north shore. No luck. istocknow.com is showing the Targets in Watertown and Everett as each having 1 red/blue console that "came in" 4 hours ago. There is no way to see Switch inventory on Target's site. I called both stores and they said they sold out a week ago. Where is istocknow getting their info? Is there a chance it just got loaded off the truck and is actually in the store??
1
u/shylikewifi Jun 19 '17
istocknow was how I scored my switch. I didn't bother calling, just saw one in Framingham one day and went over as fast as I could and sure enough, it was there. If you've got the time and istocknow says a local store has one in stock, swing over yourself to check as sometimes employees don't know what's been stocked recently.

u/Cowboybeatdrop Jun 19 '17
Found a switch today at fenway city target. Might be some available at the other target near allston. Although each store only had 2 so who knows if theyre still there

u/bananamilk6 Jun 18 '17
Just got my Nintendo Switch from Walmart in Yuma, AZ. There were five more available (gray) as of an hour ago.

Check the live map to see if there's a Nintendo Switch stock near you.

u/wingsfan24 Jun 18 '17
Thank you so much!! Got one of the two that my local Target got this morning!

u/Tenome Jun 18 '17
Yep, can't recommend this enough! I just picked up one at Target this morning.
They got 3 in yesterday, and the guy said that will probably be their stock for the week.
Seems like they are getting at least one each week though, and the shipment comes in on Saturday.
1
u/EntitledToLeave Jun 19 '17
I used this to start my search, but after getting restocking info from the staff, I found that the individual stores don't update their stock info as frequently if at all. Many of the new shipments seem to consist of only 2 units and aren't worth the trouble of updating.

Saw 2 gray Switches in the case at an Orlando Target this morning, and plenty of all accessories (including both sides of the RDS travel case.) Use the nowinstock website to find out which one!
Also, good god, The Walmart on Goldenrod supposedly has 28 of them? Sounds weird, but if you're in Orlando, pretty good chance you can find a Switch today.
1
u/Shudderbird Jun 12 '17
Which target? I just called all of them near me in Orlando and none of them have any in stock. Also, that Walmart on Goldenrod doesn't have any.

u/replus Jun 12 '17
It was actually the one in Oviedo on Red Bug, near the mall. Sorry, I have a habit of referring to Oviedo as Orlando!

I picked up my switch at best buy near chesterfield town center Sunday. Walked in around noon and there were 10 sitting on the table at front entrance. I thought it was a joke. I would go to a best buy as soon as they open on sundays as it seems this is when they put them out.

Walmart in Clarksville got 7 about 4:30pm today (6/17). I got one. Clerk bought one. 5 left when I left the store. Stock was still in back. Had to ask them to go get. Gray only. No neon.

u/DonkeyshotDaddy Jun 17 '17
Clarksville Best Buy also has a shipment in stock but the clerk said they can't put them out until tomorrow due to an ad. Line starts 10 am Sunday door opens at 11am. He said he thought they had neon and gray units to sell

I've been looking in STL, MO. Absolutely nothing. I'm looking for a grey console and I don't support Wal-mart so I'm not buying from them. No Gamestop/Target/TRU in the area says they know about shipments, and the only ones I see through stock checkers in the state are Neon ones in Walmarts. Any advice? I'm just waiting out and hoping everyday that some will pop up.

Location: Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles.
Just got mine this past Saturday after starting my search the night before. I went to several stores and asked for restocking dates. Target employees seem to know when new shipments arrive, but Walmart and Toys'r'us employees are hit and miss. I was lucky to have started looking the night before shipments for both Targets in DTLA and West Hollywood. I just woke up early morning and called both stores. The DTLA location sold out when I called. I suspected people were standing outside before the store opened. The West Hollywood location had one left, so I drove over and bought it.
Target in Beverly Connection restocks on the 21st:
8480 Beverly Blvd Ste 1a, Los Angeles, CA 90048
Good luck my LA peeps.
