NES Classic @Amazon Treasure Truck) (Atlanta,Chicago,Dallas,Houston,LA,Seattle)

There's a truck 20 minutes away from me, but I've already stopped caring about the NES Classic. If they do this for the SNES Classic, though...
 
I got the notification, got one in cart, went to pay, for some reason they needed me to reenter my card info, and while I did that it sold out.

I was crushed.

Came here to see if anyone got one, saw to keep trying the app because it was crashing.

GOT ONE

Fuck yes. I think this is really shitty and weird that so many retailers apparently held back stock for promotions (GameStop and Amazon, how many others will pop up through the year?) but I can't complain too much since I got one for MSRP!

Thanks for keeping my dream alive and telling me to keep trying GAF
 
If you got an order in, does that mean it will be held for you? Or is it first come first serve?
Pretty sure it's held for you. The confirmation message and email seem to indicate that. I'm just getting there right at 11 because I have a wedding shower to attend later in the day.
 
Nice score!! I had no idea this Treasure Truck existed until I saw it a few weeks ago in Cincinnati driving around. Signed up for notifications and it hasn't been back since... :(

I'm gonna be that guy but...............buy one and sell it to pay for the SNES Classic and a Switch. ;)
 
Most people there are already signed up for the notifications.

People in the other cities have more luck because seems it is the first time in those.



I think you need your phone with the app to pick it up. I may be wrong.

They give you a QR code that you could send to someone.

I am here. I am signed up for the notifications already. I saw the text 10 mins after it was sent and they were sold out, is what I'm saying.
 
So... if I have friends in Houston and I'm able to order this can I just send them a screenshot of my transaction (a QR code)? Or is there more to picking it up than that?

He is saying Seattle has a lot of treasure truck users. Other cities are new to treasure truck so there isn't a built in audience.
 
For those of you going to The Grove, let us know when you find the truck and where it is. I'm assuming that it'll be parked at the Farmers Market lot since I can't think of where else they'd have it.
 
the fuck...hoarding those for promotion is kinda scummy Amazon
It's a whole lot less scummy than thinkgeek / GameStop holding onto them to sell you marked up merchandise you don't want.


Yea, it's a promotion. But it's not being marked up. It's just a fun event.
 
Chicago here. I'm out in the burbs, but a friend in Chicago showed my QR code and he was able to pick up my order as well as his no problem.

I was honestly expecting them to refuse, but awesome to hear my friend had no issues.
