mojotv67 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My wife did me the favor of stopping by the local (Santa Clarita, CA) TRU and they had the Flashbacks on the shelf! She went to the register, cashier said he got a code and had to call the manager. Manager went over and did an override so the cashier could ring it but told him to take the rest down and put them back in the stock room... I was lucky enough to get the first and last Intellivision Flashback to be sold in this part of town until October 1st! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Sounds to me like the stocking crew just puts stuff on the shelf. Not knowing better. This could happen randomly for next 5 weeks as more stores get their stock. Yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavvv Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I found the Inty and CV Flashbacks at one of the other indy area TRU's and got denied! the 'manager' (i doubt more than maybe assistant manager) said 'we can't override, i has a street date and if i sell it i'll get fined $5,000 and lose my job'. weird.

I bet you were sick, you had them in your hands, only to be DENIED!!! Ouch! I didn't bother sticking around to see. they just said 'it came to the floor without it showing a street date so i guess we just put them out'. I got the CV and Atari units from the main big location in indy but it didn't have the Inty. This was a smaller location and had Inty/CV but no atari. And this CV unit was destined for the Colecovisions booth at CGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeJunkie Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'll be stopping at my local TRU tomorrow for a peek.... fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRTGAMER Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They can over ride the date. Even though not officially not supposed to be sold until October 1st, they also cannot waste a customers time. They have to sell it once you pull it from the shelf, you just have to be adament and you will be able to buy it today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Is it worth checking Dollar Generals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Is it worth checking Dollar Generals? I checked a small one in St Louis with no luck but it was a tiny one. I might hit a bigger one in Illinois this weekend. Personally, I'm waiting for the Sam's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 http://intellivisionrevolution.com/entries/intellivision-revolution/the-serial-number-database-now-includes-the-intellivision-flashback I didnt waste any time, Flashback owners, feel free to add your Flashback to the official Serial Number Database...........the Flashback has no serial numbers you may be wondering? But it will have 'editions' such as Dollar General, and Sams.......also, on the box and console is something called a BATCH CODE. A date of manufacture, my batch code (date) is 07/2014. Im wondering if they will change the date if a second run of these gets made. Oh the collectors of variants will go crazy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeJunkie Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) TRU folks are starting to catch on.... the one near me has them but "contractually cannot sell them until 9/22".... what a crock! props to the lucky few who got one early Edited August 29, 2014 by ArcadeJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Loguidice Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 From what is known and from what has been seen TRU has been the only leaked store so far. There was a possibility it was Family Dollar that had also had a leak (yes, not Dollar General), but it seems to be 100% Toys R Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I passed a Family Dollar and a Dollar Tree on my way to Dollar General. We got 'em all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
