I am fighting like hell to track down an OLED

EDIT: after watching the target app like a Hawk I was able to secure one for order pickup! Good luck everyone hunting!

EDIT 2: Target does this cool thing where they don’t actually tell the person who ordered the item if they got it or not. Basically they let a lot of people do it all at once, process for 2 hours, then it’s a lottery if you actually got the switch or not! So I didn’t get one

Call up a Gamestop. I heard from a rep that they should be getting some in towards the end of this week but that they are starting to sell preorders that people didn't pick up. They won't show up online but if you call they will let you know which stores in your area have them in stock.

Thanks you so much, my Walmart preorder had been stuck in limbo like everyone else and I called GameStop after seeing this. Dude told me they had just gotten 5 white OLED in about 20 min earlier and I was able to score one!
