Everytime I see it in my local Target I think about getting one.

Are they still rare?

Seems like a few best buys have them. I could pick up three within 30 min driving distance if I wanted to.

Nintendo did make more, which is why people are selling it for only $2 more on Amazon.

When I was in the city 2 months ago I didn't expect to see any. Saw one at EB Games and bought it on the spot. Saw two more at the Walmart in the same mall afterward.

My area never has it. If it's uncommon and you want it, get it. Or spend that money elsewhere.

Until scalpers are selling them at a loss, there's not enough in stock.

I travel a bunch between Michigan and Arizona and I see them in both states. In Walmarts, Meijers, Best Buys, Disc Replays and so on. Bought my girls one when the Wii virtual console shit down.

You're basically losing money if you do that. I doubt it'll ever be highly collectable. It'll be mass produced by then and 100's of people have your idea.

I think both are getting another production run in the near future. But no. I see them all the time and my local GameStop has had about 5 of them in stock for a few months.

Maybe its just the case where I live, but they definitely don't seem as popular as the NES classic was.
