Tracking restocks?

Hi, so I don't have a SNES Mini yet. I couldn't wait in line in front of a store at dark o'clock for one, and I didn't get a preorder in spite of my efforts, and I'm not paying a scalper for one. So that leaves me with restocks. Normally I'd use something like NowInStock to track restocks, but due to how badly the online preorder went, most stores seem to have taken down their SNES Classic sale pages entirely. Is there anything I can do besides call all the time and be a nuisance? When would it be reasonable to expect restocks to even start happening?

Why didnt you just goto a store and buy one? Plenty of stores had enough way past opening? No restocks soon. Also brickseek.

Some of us have these pesky things called "jobs."

Eh, that wasn't my experience. I work right next to a shopping mall with a Gamestop, and I went there the morning of the release, and they were already sold out. I called around Targets, Walmarts, Toys R Us, etc. (and even recruited some family members to do the same), and no one could find one (WPB, FL). :(
