Try Smyths they had some stock today but it's selling out really quickly. You'll have to try in store.

Keep an eye on www.stockinformer.co.uk. When there are flashing red dots look at the conversations as it's often someone giving a tip off. I got two this way.

I was using this site to check the argos stock and I did manage to get one

Thanks I'll keep an eye on it, there seems to be a couple in London but I can't get there...

Still trying to get a second controller, anyone had any luck finding these?

DragonMamma · 02/12/2016 21:47

I managed to get one with Argos. It was 400 miles away but a friend was happy to post.

Damm things are like rocking horse shit. It's like the WiiU a few years ago.

I've literally just bought one from argos. Keep an eye on stock informer.

MarsBarsAreShrinking · 02/12/2016 22:01

Currently in stock in Argos at the following:
CO15 1QT
HS1 2DA
RH11 7XN

MarsBarsAreShrinking · 02/12/2016 22:02

Also: IG11 8DG

monkeyfacegrace · 02/12/2016 22:13

I take it back. I did buy one, they've taken my money, and I've just had an email saying it's been cancelled and my money will be refunded in 5 days. So I can't even fucking buy another. Wankers.

MarsBarsAreShrinking · 02/12/2016 22:15

Oh no monkeyfacegrace that's really shit. I've seen talk on the Stock Informer site that everywhere will be re-stocking around the 12th-14th of this month. Don't know how true it is but here's hoping.

DangerousMouse · 03/12/2016 07:49

So frustrated, it showed stock at RH11, but as soon as I click on the Argos link to reserve it said no stock!

Argos also fucked me over. I ordered one for home delivery, they took my money, they confirmed dispatched and sent me tracking information with Yodel. On the day of delivery, sent me a text message to say it was actually out of stock and wouldn't be coming.

I wasted a day off work to be in for delivery and they won't refund me for 5-7 days.

Utter arseholes.

peanutbutter310 · 06/12/2016 09:33

Just managed to order one to collect at Toys R Us. An hour later they call to say that they don't have one, so just ignore the email that I'll get saying that it's ready collect.

Which I'm interpreting as, you had one but we decided to give it away. So frustrating!

The search continues...

Bobsmum02 · 06/12/2016 09:48

I've just read online that Urban Outfitters announced that they would stock the mini Nes today for one day only (weird because they are a clothes shop)....this might be only in USA but it's worth a try maybe. Just checked now on their website and there is no sign but maybe that's because it's still middle of the night in US?

Musicinthe00ssucks · 06/12/2016 10:02

Hello

I managed to get one from Tesco Direct by checking Stock Informer. I missed out a few times but was persistent and it paid off.

Good luck!
