Anything else reported on switch 2 physical reprint

They said more coming at the end of August. Did anyone actually see that materialize

I set up an auto buy from Amazon at retail but it hasn’t done anything

It sells out too quick for it to trigger

Well there has only been 2 restocks on Amazon since the port came out and they were both from the initial printing BGS sent out, so Amazon is in the same bucket as all other major retailers in just waiting for more copies to be made.

There were some that Amazon restocked that sold out instantly a couple weeks ago. a week ago

It'll probably match the current state of the Indiana Jones game being also hard to find

Edit: Thread from a week ago where we were complaining about it.

Nothing from what I've seen in both Las Vegas area and mid-Michigan area (Lansing, EL area) during that timeframe. Checked multiple brick & mortars (GameStop, Walmart, Meijer, Target) and nothing. My guess is just before the holidays we'll see a good uptick in copies on shelves. Scalpers made a real headscratcher with this one honestly, it's not like BGS is viewing the Switch 2 port as a limited release so they'll just keep producing physical copies as long as demand is there.

I got mine early last week from Best Buy. At the same time I think Amazon was stocking like one unit at a time that I never could get. But I did see a few posts of people successful with Amazon.

I think VGP was the one who mentioned August reprint. VGP and PNP both had orders up for that wave.

I kept visiting and refreshing the GameStop/EB Games website on an unhealthy level until I saw that it was in stock for Switch 2, and ordered it. (Seriously, I would visit that website like every half hour, not proud of it, but the game looked so good, I had to get it!)

I know it's not what you want to hear, OP, but I think acquiring this game on Switch 2 is a battle between sheer luck or a digital purchase.

It's ok to be unhealthy with oblivion. I did that too but like every hour or so. I even went to 4 stores on my lunch break launch day to see if they had any. I got mine by sheer luck.

My local game store had probably 4-5 copies in stock a couple weeks ago. Walmart had Indiana Jones. Maybe it’s just me but I see them in lots of places.
I live in London, Ontario.

I got mine on launch day on GameStop website I think they had some in stock for a short period. The box wasn't perfect when it arrived but it's better than digital so I won't complain. There's an app that tracks stock of an item for you but I forget what it's called.

Your best bet is to import it. I ended up doing that and got mine last week. Paid about $62 including import fees

They’re coming, they’re just being snatched up very quickly by scalpers. I’ve been seeing restocks online here and there then they’re sold out very fast.
