1. US stock
2. UK stock
3. Live updates

If you're asking where to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 this week, today looks like an exciting one. Both Walmart and Antonline are confirmed to have stock later today. US Shoppers should look out at Antonline at 1.30pm ET, or head to Walmart at 2pm if they're a Walmart+ subscriber. In the UK, there are a few retailers offering backorders right now, so there's definitely stock out there that's up for grabs. We're here to help you find it.

Ninty's new handheld has been flying off the shelves since launch. While release day did offer up a massive wave of new supplies, things have been a little haphazard in the weeks that followed. Multiple retailers have been running reliable Switch 2 restocks in the UK over the course of the last week, but US stock has been dry for some time now.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is now officially one of the best gaming handhelds we've tested so far, so it makes sense that the device is in hot demand. I've been tracking stock on hard-to-find gaming hardware for over five years now. I know which retailers to check first, the signs that new supplies are on their way, and how to make the most of each drop. You'll find all my latest updates on the biggest stores just below, and live Nintendo Switch 2 stock tracking further down the page.

I started tracking high-demand pre-orders back when the PS5 and Xbox Series X first launched and have covered everything from the PS Portal to 30th Anniversary limited edition runs since then. I know which retailers to watch for new stock drops, when those restocks are likely to happen, and how to make sure you finish up with a console in your hands on day one.

Walmart | Check stock

Walmart | Check stock
Finally, some movement from Walmart. Plus members will have early access to this retailer's next Nintendo Switch 2 restock today on June 25. This access applies to both the Mario Kart World bundle and solo console. Subscribers can have at this drop one hour before general sale, logging on from 9pm ET.

Antonline | Check stock

Antonline | Check stock
Antonline is confirmed to have stock at 1.30pm ET today, so head over there to check out some bundles, and be on the ball at 1.30 to try and secure your new console.

Target | Check stock

Target | Check stock
Target has had its fair share of stock, but things have been quiet for a long time. Still, this is one of the few retailers that still looks like it will take online orders.

GameStop | Check stock

GameStop | Check stock
GameStop made a big song and dance about Switch 2 stock last week, but it looks like it was in-store only. The listing page still sends shoppers to a store locator, so it's likely this one's offline for now.

Best Buy | Check stock

Best Buy | Check stock
Best Buy was previously reserving Nintendo Switch 2 stock for physical stores, but it looks like that might be changing. The website now states the handheld is simply 'out of stock,' which could mean more online drops are on the way.

Nintendo Store | Check stock

Nintendo Store | Check stock
Nintendo US hasn't been as forthcoming as its UK site in online restocks. While I've seen several across the pond, this official store has been quiet in the US.

Amazon | Check for updates

Amazon | Check for updates
Amazon did have a Nintendo Switch 2 stock listing live on its site last week after months of silence. That listing is currently inactive, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Newegg | Check for stock

Newegg | Check for stock
Newegg remains out of stock, and has thankfully removed price-inflated listings from its marketplace now.

Where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 in the UK

✅ Ebuyer | In stock

✅ Ebuyer | In stock
Ebuyer has the Mario Kart World bundle on the digital shelves this week, and that makes it one of the only places in the UK you can reliably purchase a Switch 2 today. Admittedly, you'll have to wait a bit for delivery as it won't get to your door until at least July 30.

✅ ShopTo | Backorder now

✅ ShopTo | Backorder now
ShopTo has been taking backorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 for some time now, though actual delivery times are still yet to be confirmed.

The Game Collection | Check stock

The Game Collection | Check stock
The Game Collection had a solid bundle offering earlier in the day, but it's since run out of stock. This was a £600 monster bundle that got you lots of extra goodies to kickstart your Switch 2 setup, but hopefully, we'll see some more MSRP stock soon for those who are on a tight budget.

Nintendo Store | Check stock

Nintendo Store | Check stock
The UK Nintendo Store had stock to share yesterday, but it's since run clean out. We'll keep an eye out for more opportunities straight from the horse's mouth.

EE | Check stock

EE | Check stock
EE just ended a solid run of offering Nintendo Switch 2 stock to its monthly mobile members, though it looks like even those contract prices have been swept off the shelves now.

Amazon | Check stock

Amazon | Check stock
Amazon had a good end to last week, with multiple Nintendo Switch 2 restocks on the go. This is one to watch over the next few days.

Currys | Check stock

Currys | Check stock
Currys had loads of bundles on the shelves late last week, which you can still see listed, but it's all quiet at the UK retailer for now in terms of supply.

Very | Check stock

Very | Check stock
Very hasn't seen too much action recently, but that may push it to the top of your priority list. I've noticed it takes around five days for this retailer to restock.

Argos | Check stock

Argos | Check stock
Argos offered another larger Nintendo Switch 2 stock drop late last week, in a flurry of activity. This one takes a little longer to generate more supplies, though.

Live updates

Refresh

And with that, we're out for the day. To sum up what's happening out there right now, it's very quiet in the US -the only Nintendo Switch 2 stock I've seen is wildly overpriced at the likes of Walmart and Newegg, so I wouldn't hit go on those. However, the UK does have some bundles available at Very, so that's your best bet if you live across the pond.

Very UK stock has arrived

We have a live one! If you're based in the UK, you can get some bundles with the Switch 2 and accessories via Very right now. That's one of the few offers I've seen thus far.

Very: In stock

Keep an eye out for cancelled Switch 2 orders at Amazon

Amazon isn't the first place you should check for Switch 2 stock, but keeping an eye on it could prove useful. The retailer appears to be listing the handheld sporadically and potentially as a result of orders falling through, so you could snag the console in the event one re-emerges at the site.

Another quiet day

No real movement on Switch 2 stock yet, as retailers seem to be waiting for their next drops in the UK and US. Ideally, shelves will refill in time for the weekend so more of you can jump into some Mario Kart World sessions of replay Zelda: Wind Waker, but I'll keep you posted with any surprise opportunities.

Be wary of inflated Walmart pricing

The Switch 2 is available at Walmart, but you'll want to tread carefully with pricing. Keep in mind that the retailer operates a marketplace style storefront, so you'll often find sellers listing the console for far higher than MSRP. The big box store may eventually get its own stock, so keep an eye out for that.

Good morning UK folks! Switch 2 stock is currently having a nap, Smyths shelves are once again empty. Some retailers are still operating a back-order system, but I normally find that simply waiting a few days for another drop is more effective.

If you're in the US, just know that you haven't missed much so far and that stocks are running pretty dry. I'll be keeping a close eye on all the usual haunts for the handheld, so if you re hellbent on buying a Switch 2, keep this tab open!

And that's us out for the day - hope you managed to secure a console. If not, don't worry! There's always tomorrow. We'll be back bright an early to help you find Nintendo Switch 2, so we'll see you then!

Stock has arrived for UK fans

Look alive UK fans, Smyths Toys has Nintendo Switch 2 stock for home delivery! Move fast, as this is sure to run out before long. Considering how quiet it's been today, I'm just glade we finally got a live one!

Smyths Toys: In stock

Check in-store

A few retailers in the US and UK suggest that Nintendo Switch 2 stock may be available in-store, so it's definitely worth ringing up your local Walmart/Best Buy/Smyths Toys/Game etc (delete as necessary). You never know - you may get lucky. It's worth a try, right?

Where are the consoles?

Phew, it's been a rough day for Nintendo Switch 2 stock - absolutely nothing has dropped so far. While that doesn't mean we won't see the console again today, it makes me wonder if we'll have more luck tomorrow. I wouldn't give up just yet, but I'm slightly less hopeful as time goes by.

US, this is what's up

How's it going in the US, then? Still very quiet I'm afraid, with one notable distinction - Newegg has some stock. However, be warned; this is wildly overpriced, and I suspect it's a third party seller trying their luck. Don't fall for it!

UK, what say you

We'll start with the UK. While Ebuyer is still offering 'pre-orders' (because the console won't arrive on your doorstep until July 30), ShopTo has finally stopped providing backorders. No other retailer I've seen has any stock, so at the moment it's Ebuyer or nothing. Even so, keep a close eye out; there's a good chance the console will abruptly appear at one of the other retailers I've listed. That's happened a few times before, so don't give up hope!

Let's have a quick check in, shall we? I'll just run through the retailers we've been watching and give you the lowdown on what I find.

Any luck?

Have you had any luck securing a console yet? If you've been able to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 using our help, make sure you let us know in the comments! And if you haven't had any luck yet, don't worry - your time will come!

Coming soon...?

Antonline in the US is still displaying a lot of console bundles as 'coming soon,' but seeing as it was scheduled a drop yesterday, I'm not entirely sure when 'soon' is. I'd recommend keeping a close eye on it just in case.

Which console to buy

So, which of the consoles should you buy - the standard system by itself/bundled with accessories, or the one that includes Mario Kart? To begin with, I'd always recommend the latter. Besides getting you a game out the gate (and the best one for the system right now), you have enough to play two-player games out of the box. If you're trying to keep costs down, you can always grab an extra Joy-Con set for larger multiplayer sessions later.

It's a bit quiet at the moment

It's still pretty quiet across the UK and US so far as where to buy Nintendo Switch 2 goes. In Britain, I'm keeping a close eye on Smyths Toys because they've been known to offer in-store collection.

What's up, US?

Shall we turn our attention Stateside, then? It's bad news I'm afraid - there's very little happening in terms of where to buy Nintendo Switch 2. That's not overly surprising after yesterday's drop at Walmart and Antonline though.

Basically, it's all to play for today. Watch those retailers I've linked at the top of the page like a hawk, and come back regularly. If I spot any consoles, I'll let you know here.

Give me a SITREP, UK

Let's start with the UK, shall we? It's incredibly quiet out there right now in terms of where to buy Nintendo Switch 2, and most retailers are sold out. However, a couple remain. More specifically, Ebuyer still has consoles and ShopTo is on backorder. Just bear in mind that Ebuyer's stock isn't going to arrive until Wednesday 30th July.

Ebuyer: In stock
ShopTo:
On backorder

Good morning everyone! We're back at it again today looking for Nintendo Switch 2 stock. Let's get started, shall we?

I'm winding down for the day, but US shoppers should remember some timings...

As we get to the end of the working day here in the UK, I've got a few quick reminders for US shoppers since it looks like it'll be a busy evening for Switch 2 hunting.

Antonline will be the first place to check at 1.30pm ET. It's said to have stock of the Switch 2, and whether that comes in the bundles the site already has listed, or just in the form of solo consoles, it'll be worth checking.

At 2pm ET, Walmart+ members should head to Walmart to get their early access to the latest batch of Switch 2 stock. At 3pm ET, whatever stock is left at Walmart will then become available to everyone else.

Best of luck, folks! We'll be back tomorrow morning for another day of Switch 2 stock hunting.

Is it worth checking for a store near you?

GameStop? GameStonk

GameStop might not have stock on its virtual shelves, but what about the physical ones?

Its online pages say that you can try and find a store near you. I have a friend who managed to secure a pre-order by just walking into his local GameStop - perhaps this is the best option for you, too?

Check stock at your local GameStop

Hot off the wire: Antonline to have more stock soon!

I've just heard that Antonline will be supplying more Switch 2 stock at 1.30pm ET today, just half an hour before Walmart is allowing access to its stock for Walmart+ members.

That's great news if you don't want to have to sign up for Walmart+, and even better news generally if you're hunting for a Switch 2. More stock at more suppliers means you have a stronger chance of securing a console for yourself.

I'd still be as quick as you possibly can be when it comes to being there at 1.30pm for the stock dropping. Especially now that word is getting out, it'll be a competitive shopping trip to grab yourself a handheld.

I guess there really was only one of those bundles left at The Game Collection...

If you're in the UK, that mega bundle from The Game Collection is now dead and gone, sadly. I guess that notice that came up for me earlier warning me that there was only one left was true after all. Still, I hope one of you lucky readers managed to grab it before it was too late.

If you're in the UK, you can still go to eBuyer and ShopTo for some backorder fun.

It's quiet Stateside if you aren't preparing for that Walmart drop

After a brief pause for lunch, I've down a quick rundown through all the regular US retailers, and it's as quiet as ever. Short of heading into a GameStop store near you, your chances of finding a Switch 2 are very slim. If I were you, I'd be signing up for Walmart+ and making sure I'm ready to grab an order at 9pm ET this evening.

Good morning, US shoppers

A Walmart store's logo at sunset

If you're joining us from the US, it's a good day to shop. Walmart is confirmed to have more stock of the Switch 2 today, but you'll need to be on the ball to secure your console.

It has a notice on its Switch 2 pages to say that if you join Walmart+, you'll have early access to Switch 2 stock starting tonight at 9pm ET. If you're desperate to get your hands on the latest Nintendo platform, it might be worth becoming a member - you can always cancel after?

If you don't join, you'll be able to access Switch 2 stock an hour after those members do, but that's provided that there are still handhelds left to grab by then. Are you willing to take the risk?

Apparently there's only one left...

That bundle from The Game Collection I highlighted earlier? Apparently, there's only 1 left, so if you're interested, I wouldn't wait around.

Notes on retail pages like that aren't always the most reliable, but it's usually safer to trust them if you're thinking of buying than it is to wait around and find out.

What's the deal with eBuyer?

Alright, so eBuyer seems a little out of sorts at a first glance. It's saying you can currently pre-order the Switch 2, which seems a little odd since the console is already out. I think this is essentially eBuyer's way of saying that its supply of Switch 2s has run dry, but they're guaranteed to get more soon. In other words, it seems like the handheld is on backorder, and the retailer is expecting to have more units on the 30th of July.

The retail page has this notice:

" ***Due to high demand, we cannot guarantee an exact date for pre-order stock availability. Orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis as stock arrives.

Once your order is ready, you'll receive an email to re-authorise payment. After approval, your order will be shipped. *** "

Essentially, if you do order from eBuyer right now, be prepared to authorize payment at a moment's notice when the stock actually comes back in. And watch those email inboxes like a hawk.

The Game Collection's bundle

Here's a quick look at the bundle that The Game Collection is offering.

It's definitely on the more expensive end of the equation, which isn't ideal if you're shooting as close to MSRP as possible. For £609.95 you do get quite a lot of Switch 2 goodies, though.

This bundle includes the Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle, a Switch 2 carrying case, a MicroSD Express Card, Cyberpunk 2077, and the Switch 2 camera.

This bundle feels like it's missing a controller or a set of Joy-Cons, but it's still a solid way of securing a whole Switch 2 setup in one fell swoop.

A quick morning stock check

Good morning, folks! Time to kick off another day of hunting for Switch 2 stock online. To warm us up, I've done a quick search through all the regular UK haunts to see who's bringing the heat today. You can catch the results below. Standout has to go to eBuyer which has successfully carried over its stock from yesterday.

That's it for me today. If you're still after a Switch 2 to call your own, one of my lovely colleagues will be back tomorrow to update you with every Switch 2 stock drop as it happens in the UK and the US. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a lot more fruitful for those of you across the pond that want to experience the wonders of Ninty's newest handheld. When you finally get your own, it'll be worst it in the long run - trust me.

TheGameCollection's Switch 2 bundle is still hanging on

UK retailers like John Lewis had their Switch 2 stock available for only a few seconds before it was all bought up today, but TheGameCollection still has plenty of its Switch 2 bundle to go around. That's probably because its £609.95 might be a bit off-putting for those who'd prefer to get the Ninty handheld on its own for its usual £395.99 price point.

Of course, for over £600 you aren't just getting the handheld on its own, you're actually getting the Mario Kart World bundle and a ton of other accessories. These kinds of bundles aren't going to suit everyone's budget, but they're perfect if you were already planning on grabbing extras like the official Switch 2 camera, and a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Edition anyway.

US Switch 2 Stock Check-In

There haven't been any Switch 2 stock drops today in the US, but things are looking up. Walmart has confirmed it's planning a big Switch 2 restock tomorrow (June 25) for Walmart+ members at 9PM ET.

The US retailer will have both the standard handheld and the Mario Kart World bundle available, but you will need to be an active Walmart+ member in order for the chance to grab one.

GameStop: In-store only

Best Buy: Check stock

Antonline: Check stock

Walmart: Due on 06/25 for Plus members

Target: Check stock

Nintendo: Check stock

Newegg: Check stock

Amazon: No product page yet

UK Switch 2 stock check-in

It's that time again, to check in with all the popular UK retailers and see who actually has any of Ninty's handhelds available right now. Like last week, it's not that hard to get a hold of the Switch 2 here across the pond if you know where to look.

The official Nintendo UK online store still has some standard Switch 2 handhelds in stock, and you can backorder the handheld at ShopTo, too. Ebuyer is accepting Switch 2 orders right now also, but they aren't expecting stock to actually come in until July 30. Meanwhile, TheGameCollection still has its £609.95 bundle available, which comes with extras like the official Switch 2 camera and the STEALTH Premium Travel Kit.

✅ Nintendo: In stock

✅ Ebuyer: In stock

✅ ShopTo: On backorder

✅ TheGameCollection: In stock

PSA - Don't give into US Switch 2 resellers

If you hop on Walmart right now, you'll find some Switch 2 stock available at the US retailer, even though it's tomorrow (Wednesday, June 25) that the next wave of handhelds are confirmed to go up on the site. These are being sold by third-party sellers, and not by Walmart, which is why their prices are a lot higher than the $450 and $499.99 MSRP of the standard and Mario Kart World bundle versions.

With stock so low in the US, I get the appeal of giving in to these extortionate prices, but please ignore them and wait for proper restocks instead. As much as I adore my Switch 2, it's not worth paying upwards of $672 for the console alone. Plus, there's an official restock planned tomorrow at Walmart, and you can always check in with us to try and track down a Switch 2 at its normal price point throughout the week.

There's still a chance to grab a Switch 2 at Nintendo UK

The UK Nintendo online store is out of stock of the Mario Kart World bundles, but you can still pick up the standard Switch 2 console instead.

You will need to be logged into your Nintendo Account to get access to the store, but you won't need to have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership anymore to buy one. Plus, you can always buy Mario Kart World separately too, so you don't miss out on the Mushroom Kingdom karting action.

Nintendo Switch 2 | £395.99 at Nintendo UK

Target has some Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundles in stock, if you're lucky

US retailer Target might have some Switch 2 handheld stock going, but it all depends on where you're based. While 'Pickup' and 'Shipping' are currently listed as unavailable on the handheld's product page, you can sign in with your Target account to see if any stock is available to be delivered to your address.

I also recommend walking into your local Target store to check if they have any Switch 2 handhelds available in-store, as there's always a chance.

Switch 2 Walmart restock is on its way

A new Nintendo Switch 2 stock drop is on the cards for Walmart tomorrow (June 25, 2025) for both the standard console and the Mario Kart World bundle. Walmart+ members will have the chance to grab one an hour earlier than everyone else at 9PM ET.

There's no official time given for when the leftover stock will be available for everyone else. However, if you're in the US, I recommend keeping a tab open for Walmart this Wednesday from 9PM ET onwards just to be safe.

Antonline is still worth keeping an eye on in the US

If you're curious as to what US retailers you should be keeping an extra watchful eye on this week when it comes to Switch 2 stock, Antonline should be up there. This week, the brand has been offering up stock of the new handheld for more than a couple of hours at a time, and as of today, still has it marked as "coming soon" rather than "out of stock" which is a nice sight to behold.

The stock is has had available is those exclusive and pricier bundles, which isn't ideal. However, their higher price points also help keep away hoards of buyers, making it easier grab one for yourself when stock goes up. When that time comes again, I'll be here to let you know as soon as possible.

Ebuyer Switch 2 stock still set for July 30

Ebuyer is one of the many online stores in the UK that still have some Switch 2 stock available to purchase today, but there's still a big caveat with this site. The retailer has the Mario Kart World bundle in stock for its £429.99 MSRP, but they aren't expecting stock to actually come in until July 30. While you can secure your new Ninty handheld, you'll have to wait until the end of next month to actually get it.

At least by that point, you can always pick up Donkey Kong Bananza too, as that drops days before on July 17, 2025.

No Switch 2 drops from Amazon UK so far

Amazon hasn't unloaded any Switch 2 handhelds yet today, but that could change. Yesterday, the gargantuan retailer dropped some new stock and it could be found throughout most of the day, which was a great way to start the week. It's very likely today could follow suit, and I'll be here to update you if and when it does.

UK Switch 2 stock check-in

Finding a Switch 2 in the UK is a lot easier than in the US today. As of typing, retailers like ShopTo have both the standard console and Mario Kart World bundle available to backorder, Ebuyer has some handhelds in stock with delivery planned for July 30, and there's an exclusive bundle available at TheGameCollection too.

Even Nintendo has some Switch 2 consoles available on the Nintendo UK online store, though the Mario Kart World bundles are sold out for now.

Sorry US Switch 2 hunters, it's still quiet today

I was going to do a US Switch 2 stock check-in to give all of you based across the pond some updates as to where you can grab yours, but there's not a lot to say. There hasn't been any major stock drops today so far. I'd recommend you pop into your local GameStop if you're desperate to find Ninty's newest handheld instead.

That doesn't mean it's all doom and gloom. The second any major US retailer decides to unleash more Switch 2 handhelds into the world, I'll be here to let you know.

ShopTo backorders still going strong

UK retailer ShopTo still has the standard Switch 2 and the Mario Kart World bundle available to backorder today, but there's one big caveat. We still don't know exactly when you'd receive your new Ninty handheld if you ordered one, which is a bit of a bummer. If you'd still prefer to order one now and don't mind the wait, I'm sure ShopTo is bound to reveal delivery date estimates soon.

Want a Switch 2 bundle? Check out TheGameCollection

Just like last week, those in the UK hunting for a Switch 2 have plenty of options today, which now includes retailer TheGameCollection.

The UK site has an exclusive bundle available right now for £609.95, which includes the Mario Kart World Switch 2 bundle with a digital code of the game, the official Switch 2 camera, Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Edition, a 256GB microSD Express Card, and the STEALTH Premium Travel Kit.

Nintendo UK still has some Switch 2 stock available

If you'd rather get your Switch 2 straight from the source - you can!
The UK Nintendo website is sold out of Mario Kart World bundles, but the standard Switch 2 handheld is still available to purchase for its £395.99 MSRP right this very moment.

Amazon is making some moves

Amazon went live with a short and sweet Nintendo Switch 2 restock earlier today, and those units have been reappearing fairly infrequently over the course of the day. It's well worth keeping an eye on this site in the UK, especially if you don't want to buy direct from Nintendo.

Best Buy might be back online for its next restock

Best Buy was limiting its Nintendo Switch 2 stock to its physical retail stores a couple of weeks ago, but the website is no longer sending customers to a store locator. That means there could well be more online restocks heading our way.

In the US? Keep an eye on Antonline

Antonline is one of the few US retailers I've seen actively offering Nintendo Switch 2 stock for more than a couple of hours at a time and with any kind of returning frequency. These are higher-priced bundles, yes. The cheapest I saw during the retailer's most recent restock was $609.99. Nothing is over MSRP, though, you're simply buying additional games and accessories to bump up that price.

That's why these stock drops stick around for longer. The higher prices dissuade resellers and keep the goods for the players actually hunting down their own stock.

Don't expect too much from Argos any time soon

Argos has a major Nintendo Switch 2 restock on Friday, which means I wouldn't keep it at the front of your mind for a while. It takes a few days for each retailer to rebuild its stock levels and this store seems to take a little longer. For now, I'd prioritize Nintendo, Amazon, and Currys in the UK.

Watch out for the Walmart Plus free trial

Walmart is offering early access on its Nintendo Switch 2 stock for its Plus members, and there also just so happens to be a free trial on offer. Watch out, though. Previous high-profile exclusive drops have only been for paying Walmart Plus members. The store has excluded anyone currently on a free trial from these restocks in the past.

Nintendo still has stock in the UK

Nintendo is still holding firm with its own Switch 2 stock in the UK, with both the Mario Kart World bundle and individual console still available to order from the brand's own store. That's impressive considering the only other retailers with availability are on backorder right now.

Walmart Plus members will have early access to Wednesday's Switch 2 restock

Walmart has finally broken its Switch 2 silence, with banners appearing on listing pages for both the Mario Kart World bundle and the individual handheld advertising another round of restocks on June 25. That's this Wednesday, and Plus members can have at this latest round one hour before everyone else.

Considering the speed at which the Nintendo Switch 2 sells out, that hour is going to matter.

Another week of stock hunting begins

The UK saw a flurry of activity towards the end of last week, with a number of Nintendo Switch 2 restocks dropping all across the web. Unfortunately, the US hasn't been so lucky. Things remain quiet with no reliable restock cadence for nearly three weeks after the official launch. Something's gotta budge at some point, which is why I'm following all the biggest retailers live.
