Keep an eye outSwitch Online N64 controllers are selling like hotcakes. While the jury is out on the Expansion Pack concept as a whole, the controllers seem to be doing fairly well for Nintendo (https://www.destructoid.com/the-switch-n64-controller-is-great-shame-the-expansion-pack-isnt/). When they're in stock, that is.
Remember how Nintendo said restocks would start up in 2022 (https://www.destructoid.com/if-you-want-the-switch-online-n64-controller-youll-have-to-wait-until-2022/)? So this is the page for the Nintendo 64 controllers for Nintendo Switch (https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/nintendo-64-controller/). Currently, it's out of stock. I know! In some ways this is a "too late" moment, but very few people actually were able to provide the proper heads-up, because they sold out in minutes (some estimates are at roughly nine minutes or less).
This is more of a PSA that Nintendo is seemingly continuing to restock the Switch Online N64 controllers, and to be vigilant if you're still gunning for them. Remember: these are only available for Switch Online members, which helps theoretically cut down on bots and scalping: except...not really, if they're going out of stock instantly anyway. The going rate on eBay right now (confirmed sold) is roughly anywhere from $80 to $125, which is a bit richer than the $49.99 MSRP. For reference, the Sega Genesis control pads are also sold out (https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/sega-genesis-control-pad/).
Oh, and another tip! Once it comes back in, note this trick that Wario64 and others have been circulating (https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1527378930931339266): add a stylus (https://www.nintendo.com/search/?q=stylus&p=1&cat=hdw&sort=df) to push the order over the edge for free shipping.
