...are you trying to buy two for scalping?

I'm trying to help out gaffers who can't make it but want it.

Failing that, extras for gifting and/or selling, yes.

 

[Syriel]

AMAZON, Y U NO DO DIS IN SF?

*cries*

 

[Skeletron]

not that I expected it to be in stock since the OP was 2 hours old, but it's frustrating NOA will be releasing the SNES classic sometime in the next couple of months when they haven't even met the demand for the NES classic

oh well, at least I get to keep $60+ tax

Yeah, everytime I miss another one of these things I just have to keep telling myself "thank you Nintendo for saving me another $60." Not bitter at all.

 

[oatmeal]

It was Amazon who bought them all, all along.

How do you think Bezos became the richest man in the world.

 

[mrk8885]

Suggest you go now. Your order through the app isn't a reservation. It's still first come first serve until it sells out.

No that's not true. I haven't seen one person who got an order in say they missed it. If you get an order, you've got one. Its pretty easy for them to know how many are on the truck and sell that many.


And like others have said, you don't need to get it yourself. Just need the QR code. My brother in law picked up our 2.

 

[t hicks]

FML went to Portland for a funeral today.

Yes, you are the unfortunate one in that scenario...

lmao jesus christ

 

[illiniguy05]

My bro is on his way to the Chicago truck to pick up his order and my order.

 

[Soi-Fong]

I kinda want to go to Chicago and see if I can pick up another one, but it'll prolly be sold out by the time I get there. Lol

 

[Blak_Status]

Just bought one in Atlanta

 

[Skeletron]

If anyone ordered one in LA but isn't able to actually pick it up I would be happy to paypal you some extra cash along with the original price for the QR code. Do a GAFer a solid.

 

[jviggy43]

LA gaf where in the grove is the Truck? Just parking.

 

[DarkestHour]

No way am I driving that far to pick one up in Atlanta.

 

[Afrocious]

Snagged one in ATL

 

[Brandon F]

LA gaf where in the grove is the Truck? Just parking.

Heading there now myself, would like to know if you find it. The Grove is pretty big...

 

[shira]

Man if they did that in my neck of the woods there would be crimes committed.

People salty af on the stock levels.

Douchbag scalpers wanting to cash in.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Just got back from the one in Houston

 

[AllBusinessJr]

My sister can get it for me in Atlanta but I don't even know if I want one at this point. Decision time.

 

[johnvr]

Just picked mine up. It is by the movie theater

 

[TrojanAg]

I think it's a pretty easy decision. If you don't want it, you should probably get it anyway.

 

[jviggy43]

Literally insane how many the LA truck had. My gf and I each got one but people were being turned down who hadn't ordered one through the app yet. Almost everyone at the grove is walking around with one. That likely means they've been hoarding these things for awhile now I imagine.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Just picked mine up. It is by the movie theater

Thanks! Was there much of a crowd?

 

[Afrocious]

If I dont pick it up, will they mail it to me? Curious. Gonna go out to pick it up regardless.

edit: faq says not picking up the item by 5 forfeits it

 

[Saren is Bad]

Got one in Houston

 

[Owensboro]

Sweet, just ordered one. Time to make the drive to pick it up. Hope I can make it by 5pm.

 

[TrojanAg]

If I dont pick it up, will they mail it to me? Curious. Gonna go out to pick it up regardless.

Not likely. The email says that if you can't make it by 5pm then you should cancel your order.

Edit: Beaten

 

[Afrocious]

just to be on the safe side, anyone heading to the ATL one and mind picking mine up?

 

[zenosparadox]

Got one in Houston

Same here! Going to give it to my nephew since we could not get one for him last year.

 

[jviggy43]

If you park in the grove parking structure it's right out the front near the movie theater and and the fountain (Idk is that's helpful haha)

 

[J@hranimo]

So what's good with the ATL location?

 

[thetruth1983]

I just picked up money in Houston.

 

[BBWCongaLine]

Amazon keeps me supplied with the Nintendo goods I miss out on. #AtlantaStayBlessed

 

[Skeletron]

Hypothetically if I show up at 5pm and they have surplus, will they sell me one?

 

[kitchenmotors]

Picked up mine, wasn’t a fan of the spot they picked in Chicago. So busy.

 

[johnvr]

Thanks! Was there much of a crowd?

Just the usual Grove crowd, but a little more intense because they are all on their phones freaking out trying to figure out how everyone is walking away with an NES Classic. Was in and out in 5. Glad I bussed instead of driving

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

Got mine from Atlanta.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Come to Miami next Amazon! The weather is great here!!!

Spoiler

Lies, the weather has been terrible for weeks

 

[Erekiddo]

The LA one at the Grove was surprisingly easy. I got in line and was out in 5 minutes.

 

[TrojanAg]

You look pretty happy lol

 

[oatmeal]

Is there a schedule for these things in different cities?

 

[Naked Snake]

I'm jelly.

 

[Owensboro]

So where exactly in Atlanta (Colony Square) is the truck? Don't want to park at the wrong place.

 

[NeOak]

Hypothetically if I show up at 5pm and they have surplus, will they sell me one?

No.

 

[Erekiddo]

I saw some people posing for a picture holding three.

So, no.

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

San Diego not good enough for a truck. I'm not driving to freakin' LA to grab an NES Classic. At that point may as well just pay the ebay tax.

 

[Afrocious]

If you find it, can you pick mine up as well? Please?

Blame the T-Rex that got loose 20 years ago

 

[lantus]

Heading downtown in Houston to pick up mine. Hopefully traffic isn't bad.

 

[NightMystic]

Just tried Chicago and the site says they are sold out.

 

[Owensboro]

If you find it, can you pick mine up as well? Please?

I mean, I can try. Don't they limit it to one per person? I've never bought from or used this thing before.

 

[lantus]

Supposed to be one per account, so I suppose if you were picking up for two accounts you could.
