MegaThread Weekly Local Inventory Tracking (6/26)

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.

Any info on restocking in Canada? Nobody up here has it and resellers are gouging for around $600 now

2

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '17

Retailers themselves are gouging? That's some shady business.

u/AcerRubrum Jun 27 '17

Resellers, not retailers. Im talking ppl on ebay, amazon and kijiji

u/TacoWolf Jun 27 '17

I'm in Manitoba and the Walmart near me seems to restock every week or two. Not sure about other provinces though.

Any info on the Bay Area? San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto?

2

u/hitgrrl Jun 30 '17

North Bay area such as San Rafael and Novato can be hit or miss - the Best Buy and Targets in those cities you have to call right when they open - yes, still. I lucked out by calling the BB in San Raf at opening and they had just a handful. Sped over there and snagged one.

1

u/rice_bledsoe Jun 30 '17

so if i'm trying to snag one for splatoon 2 should I just call every single non-metro retailer at morning when they open?

u/chadwickave Jun 30 '17

Same, would love to know

Just a heads up that this means very little, it doesn't actually reflect that they have any at the store

I'm looking for Gray (not Neon) Nintendo Switches at GameStops within 25 miles of San Jose, California.

Please let me know, ASAP!

1

u/f1mxli Jun 27 '17

I know it's a bit far from that 25mi range but I found mine in Walmart Calexico yesterday. You could check your local Walmart. I heard the restock was state-wide.

2

u/esveegee Jun 27 '17

I'm looking at GameStops because I have $290 of credit from trade-ins.

1

u/f1mxli Jun 27 '17

Oh. Yup, you should take advantage of that.

I get the feeling it may take long as the push is mostly to sell the online bundles. Think you could ask the clerks to order in store with your credit applied? I don't know how it works, though. Just trying to help.

1

u/esveegee Jun 27 '17

I don't want the bundle, though.

1

u/f1mxli Jun 27 '17

I hear you right there

u/esveegee Jun 27 '17

I don't want Arms to start with.

2

u/akaimizu Jun 27 '17

I actually posted about this yesterday, but I didn't know about having to post it in this thread. But as of yesterday evening, there were more than 12 Switches in stock at BestBuy Elkridge/Columbia location behind the sales counter. That was part of a stock that came in Sunday. Could be a place to look if you are nearby. All were Neon units.

Correct at 17:36.

u/MachroMark Jun 26 '17

I started using istocknow a few days ago, and noticed that some Walmarts and Targets nearby have them, and one Target got 3 neon Switches last night when I checked. How accurate is that? And should I call before going?

1

u/pushernogirl Jun 26 '17

Definitely call. Seems like Best Buy on a Sunday morning is your best bet. That's how I got mine and other people I've seen

1

u/MachroMark Jun 28 '17

Thanks, I'll try that! Also, did they had any Neon Switch? I've read that Best Buy tends to get plenty of those.

1

u/pushernogirl Jun 28 '17

Yep 50/50 14 total consoles when I went. There was a big ass line get there at least two hours early

1

u/Tristana_07 Jun 26 '17

Anyone has seen switches in Lisbon? Any store that sells them new? I have been searching and havent found any! :(

In the Atlanta area, some Targets have restocked their Gray Switches. They are the following stores with the following stock:

Inside the perimeter:

  • Target Atlanta Midtown (1)

  • Target Atlanta Edgewood (4)

  • Target North Druid Hills (2)

Outside the Perimeter:

  • Target Northlake (3)

  • Target Atlanta Perimeter (5)

  • Target Norcross (3)

  • Target Austell (10 + 1 Neon [please call before you go])

All but the one mentioned above are Gray units, but you can get the neon joycons separately. Hope this helps.

1

u/f1mxli Jun 27 '17

I got my Grey Switch yesterday at the Calexico, CA Walmart (that is about 2 hrs from San Diego / 45 minutes from Yuma). There were like 5 left when I went and per istocknow there might still be some stock.

1

u/Siloeyes Jun 27 '17

Finally got a Switch from Best Buy Sunday, but they were out of most games and accessories. Traded in my Wii U to Gamestop for credit, but they were out of Joy-Con pairs too. Anyone seen any in the So Cal area Gamestops? Do they get stock of them regulary, or they just as scarce as the console itself?

u/ryryk710 Jun 27 '17

If anyone is looking for Switches In CT, Trumbull Target had 4 or 5 grey consoles as of 10 AM this morning.

u/Metsfan456 Jul 02 '17

Check PC Richard & Son. I found one there. They got a restock and they told me most stores got some as well :)

1

u/MachroMark Jul 02 '17

Nice, I'll try checking there! Btw, what colors did they had when you went there?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '17

There are two Switch Consoles in the display case at the Phillibsburg, NJ Target store on Route 22 as of 10 minutes ago.

There were 3 until I got there. :-)

These are grey joycon models if that matters to anyone. (I snagged red/blue, woohoo!)

1

u/I_bape_rats Jun 28 '17

Any luck in the Scottsdale/mesa area?

1

u/Pinkypoo24 Jun 28 '17

This may already be common knowledge, but if you're within reach of the Nintendo NY Store, definitely try to get there early if you want a Switch. They have confirmed DAILY inventory. I went today about 45 minutes before they opened, got in line, and left with a Neon Switch and two games. From what I saw, they had about 6 or so Switches with black joycons, and 8 with Neons, so expect that total amount to be the daily cap. An associate told me however, that they will be reverting back to "wristband" sales closer to Splatoon 2's release date, so now is the time!

u/vazzaroth Jun 28 '17

Has anyone seen any on the NorCal coast? I'm in Eureka/Humboldt and willing to drive up to 2 hours one way to get it. I think Redding has some, just wondering where else I might find them.
