Those hoping to pre-order the Super NES Classic Edition won’t find what they’re looking for at Toys “R” Us. The retailer has confirmed that it will not be providing pre-orders for the upcoming mini Nintendo system, which will only be offered in stores starting on September 29. Priced at $79.99, the Super NES Classic Edition consists of 21 pre-installed classic games that can be played on any high-definition TV using an HDMI cable.
The SNES Mini will be available in our stores on 9/29. There will be no pre-orders for this item. TY!

Well, this doesn’t help me any. Since the closest Toys R Us is over 200 miles away from where I live. And I wouldn’t want to order from Toys R Us anyway. They don’t package things carefully. I received several damaged amiibo when I ordered them from Toys R Us. I’d love to hear that Target or Gamestop was only getting store stock, because at least those stores are within driving distance.
I think I’ve heard that Gamestop will have additional units available for those who didn’t preorder. First come first served, of course, so you might still want to camp out for one.
+1 on damaged goods.
I bought games at Toys R Us when they were having BOGO _% off, all of the cases had cuts down the middle because someone dug the knife too deep when opening the box. Totally careless.
Ugh I’m going to have to take the day off it seems.
Gotta say, I respect that decision. Helps with the scalper problem. I haven’t been to TRS in forever, but maybe that’ll change if I try to buy one of these. If I have no work that day, I’ll be lining up.
