Did anyone bag a Mini SNES before they sold out?

Argos website only stated available to order in-store in the days after it was released, since then for me it's been saying:
"Currently Unavailable
Sorry, this item is just too popular! But we may get more stock, so do check back at a later date."
Depending on how desperate you are to get hold of one (but not pay over the odds), your best bet is to drop in to shops like Game, Argos, Smyth's & Toysrus on the off-chance they'll have one in stock.
Or keep an eye on the Stock Informer website for the SNES, and at the same time, bookmark the pages of websites that have it listed and check them too. It's popped up in Game & Toysrus, and people have had some success ordering it from amazon.fr or amazon.es when its briefly been available (it ends up costing a bit more due to exchange rate & postage, £95 I think from Amazon.fr).
Also, if you have a Prime account on Amazon, it's worth checking on there to see if you can nab one from your local area. I have just managed to get one this way, in one of my random checks of all the websites that have the Mini SNES listed, it showed as available on Prime Now which I've never used before. Managed to order it and its been delivered, but 15 minutes later it was back showing as unavailable.
Check out the discussion on the Amazon link of stock informer, someone managed to order one even though they aren't in a Prime Now delivery area by getting it delivered to a cafe within the area and driving to it and waiting for the delivery. That's dedication!

I certainly will not be paying a 200% surcharge for one !!0 -
Use "stock informer" (website) - There was stock even at Game today but you need to be so quick. Also I noticed alot for sale on FB marketplace at prices much lower than eBay0

As per my post from last week, keep an eye on websites for individual stores like Argos, Game & Smyths in case they get stock in.
This weekend Smyths toys has some in stock in a handful of shops around the country (https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/video-games-and-tablets/retro-gaming/nintendo-classic-mini-super-nintendo-entertainment-system/p/161624). Despite being posted on HUKD late last night, there's still some available. Right now, Aberdeen, Milton Keynes, Plymouth all have stock, Thurrock shows as having 15+ in stock.0 -
Hi all, Amazon France again right now if you are quick (€95)

I plan to put my spare up for £120 or so close to christmas, yes a small profit but also not outrageous.
Dont blame people selling them, blame nintendo for the massive under supply.0
