Are you able to order from the UK Amazon? That's where I usually order from as I'm in Ireland but I'm also able to order from the US website too when I need to. There seem to be some available on the UK website. However, I don't know how long it'll take to get to you.....

Checked Ebay? They often have "classic" games and devices.

My kids (28 & 30) love those old games. My ex and I always say the only fight we had during the divorce was over the Nintendo. Each of us wanted the other to take the damn thing.

Ebay.

LexieCat

Ebay and amazon both have it, but for not less than $200, which is more than three times the apparent retail price.

Looks as if it's supposed to be back in stock shortly after the new year. An IOU, maybe, along with a game for when she gets it?

AnvilheadII

yeah, evidently i'm headed to Best Buy on Dec 20!? the online prices are insane. i don't love the kid THAT much, LOL.

i should add, she had ordered some gifts for me online, but they are now kind of held up due to weather. so she says i may just get photos of my gifts. we are definitely going low key this year, so its no big deal, but still..........i'd really like that Coolest Mom Ever trophy.

LexieCat

Damn guppies.

Check "Game Stop" they don't just sell used stuff they also have new stuff.

AnvilheadII

trust me, i've checked. our local Game Stop won't even answer the phone at this time of the year. they aren't hoarding a supply. NO ONE has any right now.

well except my dear friends in the UK!

we are calling this my mythical unicorn hunt. LOL

I remember waiting in 20 degree weather with my neighbor in the parking lot of Toys R Us stalking the delivery trucks in anticipation of them delivering Power Ranger figures when my kids were little!! Can't remember which color was the most popular but which ever one it was it was very limited and hard to find. But me and my neighbor were on a quest that year.

AnvilheadII

ok, this should be no problem....Game Stop is getting "up to 3" units to sell starting this Friday, first come first serve.

couldn't she ask for a pony???

LexieCat

Is your tent in good condition? Air mattress?

Seren

You could just get her a pony

Red Power Ranger.

I'm seeing these NES Classics on Amazon.

I hate video games. I really do, but I still feel compelled to buy them. These horribly spoiled kids have a xbox 360, PS3 & PS4 and they have been begging me for the Xbox One and well mommy is a sucker and I bought the dern thing. BUT I got an awesome black friday deal and they trade games and buy used games and I have that power up rewards thing and just got 360.00 worth of games for 100.00 with all the coupons I had saved from their points. They will be thrilled.

LexieCat

Well, the one good thing, I suppose, about this particular device, is all the games are pre-loaded--you can't buy more.

Something to be said for that.

I just learned this was a thing. I'm totally late to this party and would LOVE to have a classic NES! Boy that would take me back. Those prices will just keep me wanting one for a while though.

LexieCat

I think they're gonna be pretty available right after the holidays. The regular price is only 60 bucks. Hold out--delayed gratification!
