Official memo from Meijer is each store will receive at LEAST 8. Problem is that at the two stores I checked, they were dumbfounded about where they were in the back and couldn't find them.

Hmm if it's that low I may rethink that. I'll call them but Walmart is looking better. Called and they have some, but the guy didn't know how many but that they would be for sale at 12:01. I see no reason why a Walmart would have just 8 but Meijer being small compared to them definitely.

I called the Toys R Us I'm planning on going to and they said they got a lot of them in. Not sure what that means in terms of numbers, but I'm feeling confident that by getting to the store before they open I'll get one.

Given the age of these consoles, they could probably use the same chipset for an N64 emulator.

Anyways, so our pre-orders in this neck of the woods have hit a bit of a temporary snag. lol


Thank you for your pre-order on Raru.

It is with regret that we inform you that there has been a delay in receiving our stock of the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System includes Two Controllers (SNES) due to unforeseen circumstances.

The freight truck that our consignment was due to arrive in broke down on route to us and though we tried to arrange to receive the stock in time to meet our dispatch cut-off, it could not be achieved.

We will be dispatching your parcel as soon as the stock has been received, with delivery expected to occur to Main Delivery Centres from early next week.

We sincerely apologise for the inconveniences caused.

Best Regards
The Raru Team

As much as it pains me, I won't be able to stand in line tomorrow morning for the SNES Classic. The main reason being that I'm really short on funds. I get paid tomorrow but that won't happen until around noon so I'm going to try and pick one up in the afternoon but I feel like I have to be super lucky to try and get one then.

Our NES Classic Mini didn't either. I thought that was normal? We don't really need them here... I don't know if it's the same in America, but I know due to EU laws, plugs have mostly been standardised and we all have billions of USB plugs hanging around. There's about 6 or 7 in my household alone, so not really an issue...

Anyways, my SNES Mini is on its way tomorrow. Here's hoping the delivery slot they send me is within the 4 hour window when anyone will actually be in...

The local Target opens at 8 am so I'll just pop by there before work and see if there's a line or anything.
