When the re-released retro game machine went on sale on March 29, only the quickest BestBuy.com users were able to snag Nintendo's low-supply classic console. However, for a few select Best Buys, the NES Classic may see some leftover final stock. And if you're lucky you may get one last Hail Mary attempt at purchasing one.

Best Buy NES Classic Stock: Missouri store receives final shipment

According to caribou915 on Reddit, a Best Buy store located in Missouri received a small restock of NES consoles. By the internet law of "pics or it didn't happen," the Reddit user includes photo evidence.

The inclusion of the Redditor's username and date on a post-it note are presented as evidence that this isn't an old photo. Most interesting about the Reddit post, however, is cairbou915's mention of the stock being unannounced. That makes us wonder what other Best Buy stores have received secret NES Classic shipments.
