It's amazing how many more people I see on various forums say they got one through Walmart just now compared to the first preorder last Monday on Walmart.

Yeah, I want to see Walmart confirm that these are legit.

I can absolutely confirm it's legit. My card got charged from Walmart. It shows up in my order history at Walmart. I got a confirmation email from Walmart.

In the same boat, granted the credit card charge is a pretty strong indication of it being valid.

I believe you, but all of that stuff happened with the canceled ones from a month ago.

Yeah can we get some sirens for everyone to calm down about a probable fake set of orders, plus it lasted way too long. If it's real, great.

Ya, not liking that the listing page is down instead of saying sold out. Did the other listing earlier this week do that too?

Got a Wal-mart pre-order and a confirmation email. But I've had both of those things before, in July, so I won't really believe it until it's in my hands. Hanging onto my overpriced Gamestop bundle for now.

It's been 40 minutes and still no e-mail and not showing up in my order history. And I don't have a screenshot of the order number because the dumbass Google Pixel phone press and release power and volume down to screenshot NEVER EVER works.

They charged my CC pretty darn quick though.

I just want this drat thing for under $100 and not 4x MSRP.

Just got my preorder from Walmart with a ship date of October 5th and a confirmation order. Hooray! Thank you NowInStock! :dance:

Their stock lasting 18 whole minutes is very suspicious, but who knows. Could be legit.

Don't blame you.

As much as I'd like one to keep in the box, I am purposefully only going to get ONE unless and until they are actually widely available and scalping isn't an issue.

Don't be an a-hole people. If a filthy capitalist Trumpster like myself can show some charity, so can you.

Anyway, got my confirmation e-mail finally. Due a week after we (allegedly) close on a new house, good thing I'm doing the move across town myself over a week or so and still have the lease on this place. House warming gift!!! (Unless Wally World screws me again).

I plan on getting multiples and selling them to friends and co-workers at MSRP. And also, to secure my own because I got screwed over by Walmart the first time.

There is a guy I work with that has been hunting down an NES Classic, and I finally got one thanks to him because he told me about the Amazon Treasure Truck deal. I also have a friend that was never able to get an NES Classic that wanted one badly.

I don't know... I feel like it is easier this time around. I tried every loving online order for the NES classic and got nothing. This time around, I got in on the Walmart canceled one in July, the first Best Buy on on Monday, now the second round of Walmart today. Every single one of them is thanks to Now In Stock's Google Group alert.

This is what I suggest to people.
-Set up the Google Group alert
-Forward the email to your phone via a text message.
-Make that contact an Emergency Contact. On iOS, you can make it play a long ring tone for a text message, even if the phone is on silent or you are in Do Not Disturb mode.

That last part is key, and is the only reason I got 2 of those 3 NIS alerts.

Office if you're employed? Parent or friend? I've moved A LOT and sometimes I ship stuff to my parents' house, never had a cancellation because of suspected fraud since we have the same last name. If you're a married female you could try husband's parents for the same reason.

I like to think there's a big gap between "buy one extra to sell and cover the cost of my own" and "buy up 20 units and scalp them." :(
