How? Costco and Sam\u2019s Club have pallets full of them at warehouses across the country, they\u2019re already on sale at a discount, and I\u2019ll tell you how to check if they\u2019re at a Costco near you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Both stores are selling the brand-new set for around $49. That\u2019s a big discount compared to the $59.99 you\u2019d pay at Lego or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LEGO-Super-Mario-Game-Boy\/dp\/B0DX3J6MT7?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">at Amazon<\/a>, and some who ordered early through Lego or other stores are annoyed! But, neither Costco nor Sam\u2019s Club is likely to let you buy without a paid membership. (Costco\u2019s is $65 a year.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The picture atop this story is my local store, but they\u2019re already available in far more locations. Here are piles upon piles of Lego Game Boys spotted by Redditors across the country, most within the last few days:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">How do you find out if they\u2019re at a store near you? They\u2019re not listed on the web, but you can use a feature in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/8836598\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.costco.com\/costco-app.html\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Costco app<\/a> for iOS and Android that lets you check warehouse inventory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Open the app, hit the <strong>Warehouse<\/strong> tab at the bottom of the screen, pick a local warehouse, then tap <strong>\u201cSearch Warehouse Inventory\u201d <\/strong>and search for <strong>1917022. <\/strong>Then tap the \u201cLego Nintendo Game Boy\u201d item, tap <strong>Find Nearby<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen, and you should see a list of every warehouse where it\u2019s in stock near you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">You\u2019ll still have to go find it in store; in many cases, it\u2019ll be in the toy aisles alongside other Lego sets and not far from candy and clothing. In my case, it was right inside the entrance. Maybe my Costco was hoping to sell a few more memberships that way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Lego Game Boy isn\u2019t supposed to go on sale until October 1st \u2014 but I already bought&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":257124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[705,50,158,25249,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-257123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-toys","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115272894741530795","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
