The number of them on Kijiji is nuts. They are just dominating the video game section at the moment, barely anything else is posted or visible.

Whats the best advice on getting this if you missed the presale and release date? Anyone know when the next shipment is coming? They need to do another presale.

Choose Walmart closest to where you are. Call them 35x a day asking if it's in stock. Tell them they can stop the calls anytime they want if they promise to call you when they have one for you. Works everytime.

Mine went out for delivery 8AM this morning and still hasn't been delivered!

I don't order online much so hopefully I get it tonight :D

Just logged in and it seems that my order disappeared... Anyone else experiencing this?
Mine changed status of waiting for shipping, guaranteed by Saturday 9pm to "shipped" at noon, and at 4:01pm, it said arrived in Toronto. May actually appear in the next 3.5 hours. We'll see :)

Follow Best Buy's gaming twitter. They tweet updates on when they're releasing stock. @BBYC_GamersClub. Their latest tweet on the SNES says they should be providing an update in the coming days.

Same with EB Games.

Otherwise, you can try asking employees at the actual stores. Sometimes they have no idea when stock is coming, but can tell you typically when they receive them/put them out.

I definitely don't recommend being an entitled turd with a Kate Gosselin haircut and calling them 35 times a day until you get your way.

Damn, put the 7.99 ones on the wish list this morning, they've now jacked it up to 19.99$. Got the 10ft 2 pack for 14.99 each pack. Next day delivery, next best thing.

I think the amazon.ca had oct 5 as a back order ship date so that could be when the next wave hits.

Wow. I ordered those today as I posted above for $7.99 x 4... so glad I did! Sorry to hear you can’t get that price :(

Amazon order arrived. They left it in a plastic bag shipped in a bubble mailer. Usually amazon packs better than that.

Anyone know where to get a Hori Fighting Commander for SNES Mini in Canada? They're $25 US, seems like Canadian price (according to Walmart) is $40, which... I'll pay, I guess. I haven't seen any online listings anywhere except Walmart which implies it's a pre-order.

do you need to be a "prime" member to get in on the restock?
