Atari Flashback Portable - Are these sold in Canada?

Postby atarileaf » Mon Dec 26, 2016 7:38 am

I can't seem to find these in any stores in Canada, at least here in the Windsor area. Anyone know of any brick and mortar stores that carry these?

Saw some at Bed Bath & Beyond in Cambridge (but for some reason, they aren't listed on their website, so I can't post a link).

We don't have Bed Bath and Beyond in Windsor. I wonder if similar stores like Winners or HomeSense might have them.

Wish I could help you, but just wanted to chime in and say Hello Atarileaf! I'm a big fan of your Youtube channel. Hope you get to post more videos in 2017 (and perhaps revive your old intro music)!

Thanks so much, I am planning on a video as soon as Atariage releases some of those new homebrews they've been teasing. There's a few for the 7800 that I'd love to get and review. I'll have to dig up my old intros. Make 2017 a retro youtube year :D

I noticed that Target in the states had them for $50 USD, if you want to make a run for the border...

Noticed that the BB&B in Brantford had them too... they also have those miniature LCD Space Invader & Pac Man cabinet games marked down to $15.
