Most stores were sold out long before 8am around me.  Stopped by a Target and they said I can stop by at 4:30am any morning to see if they got any in.  Umm... no.

I'm still baffled that Nintendo can't make enough Switches to stock shelves 7 months after release date.  What's wrong with that company?

Target in Clearwater had a couple of Switches in stock but I wasn't really interested in it.

Has anyone even had a chance to open up and play your SNES mini yet?

I got to my Target yesterday at 8:50 and they open at 9:00 and I was number 23 in line. Smooth transaction. I played mine for a while yesterday with the kids. Their favorite is SF2 so far.

Does anyone know when the next wave of these are coming in?  I need to find another one.  If I find extras at MSRP I'll buy them for fellow Villagers.

I dont know how the topic got switches involved .. but what ever..

I havent seen or heard about any restocks yet.  So much for nintendos claim of more units than the classic.

I scored a few extras -- just waiting on cluster to release the new version of Hakchi to get them modded..

curious to see when/if they start to restock..

between myself and a buddy in michigan we have scored a few of these.. ended up with 3 on the initial stock, and then 5 on the restock.

I have been modding them selling them to my friends who wanted me to hook them up.. have had them shipped to jacksonville, orlando, missouri..

I had to replace one my dog ate :(

and I have a few left over that I have already modded and are sitting on my shelf.. asking $150 for them modded if you are interested.. has the SNES/NES Classic "dual boot" installed and 120 random extra games installed from super rare hard to find snes titles to blockbuster exclusisve titles, and a few obscure but appereantly high rated titles that came out late in the game (Haghen or something like that)

just hit me up.

I made a random stop at Walmart today at lunch and they had one.

What crazy luck.  :)

That's one hell of a mark up for a hack that takes less than 5 minutes and requires zero hardware modification.
