Nintendo Switch Restocks?

[TacoSenpai]

Is there any news about Nintendo Switch Restocks like anywhere?  I constantly see their sections barren in any and all retailers of course online is no better either.  The closest I've seen to restocks happening is that Target in the US is supposedly restocking them in the next week or two.

Or check Craigslist if you don't mind a partially used one, by me there are a few for cheaper than retail

NO, avoid it, don't give scalpers any money.

For cheaper than retail. Not scalpers if you ask me.

I lucked out with Amazon. Amazon usually gets a restock every 3-4 weeks in the middle of the week and sometime around 1pm. They sell out super quickly though and are usually prime members only (which sucks). May be easier than snagging one in store. If you live anywhere near NYC, the Nintendo store gets a couple dozen every 2 weeks.

Yeah you must have really lucked out on amazon then lol.  Unfortunately I'm not near NYC.

I just (pre-)ordered a bundle package from GameStop (Switch w/ BotW + Digital Expansion & Digital Has Been Heroes) on the 5th (I know it's not the best, but still seemed better than being scalped) and it is supposed already being shipped...  Have a week and half long vacation with family that involved 14 hour flights each way in late July and didn't want to be hunting around constantly between now and then to have this to play while on the flights or in my vacation off time.

Congrats!  I found a bit more information poking around supposedly Target has a restock next week.

Additionally, alot of the supply woes seems to deal with competition with Apple for parts.

I am the only one here who right now can go walk into a store and find four or more on a shelf...

 

Not joking, next time I am in the store I will take a picture.  They not even behind a glass case either.

If you're really stuck and don't want to reward scalpers you can always import it. The stock issues are definitely not universal and the Switch is region free. Same deal with games and accessories.

I didn't know the Switch was region free thats a good thing though that always kinda irked me why nintendo locked down the Wii U and 3DS the way they did.  Though I'm wondering if import costs would almost spike it up to scalper levels.

Check amazon. They restock every 2-3weeks during the middle of the week, middle of the day(when ive seen it go up, its around noon -1pm EST). Unfortunately prime member only (at least when I picked mine up). Usually sells out in 5-10 mins.

Try checking your local pharmacy (Shoppers drugmart/rexall) I've been told that they sell them, which not many people would think of

[likwidsolutions]

IDK about restocks but honestly I might be selling mine soon if you might be interested. Obviously this isn't the forum to talk about it on, but PM me if interested (I do have a good standing eBay account). Grey Joycons, Pro Controller, Zelda, MK8D. Just need cash and honestly I have too many games to play (PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One...keeps one busy). Zelda ate up 100s of hours and I'm still playing it lol.

If you REALLY want a Switch. Wake up every morning opening hours and be at your local Walmart, BestBuy, Pharmacy (if they happen to sale electronics.. you never know, if you don't ask, that is how a guy I know managed to get a Wii during the super high demand periods.. no one thinks to go to these places, and they didn't jack up the price either. MSRP is what he paid). And you should have one within 1-2 weeks. You can exclude weekends and holidays as there is no shipping during this time.

Yeah I actually asked a Best Buy guy in my area (we actually ended up talking alot about Zelda games he was a cool guy) the day target got their "restocks" a few weeks back and he said there was literally a line of people in the morning and they sold out within the hour of opening lol.  Supposedly Amazon (US) is having more in stock on July 8th so fingers crossed. And while I do want to get one eventually its not something I'll lose sleep over I've actually got more games than I know what to do with and oh so little time lol.

There are two ways i have found that work best, follow the truck that stocks the systems or make some friends at the store.
