Lowkey Flips Today: Analogue Pocket Restock & More (Oct 3)

· 6 min read · By the Friends & Family team

Analogue restocked its Pocket handheld yesterday, and recent sealed sales on eBay sit well above the $239.99 retail. But the return rules are strict, and the limited-edition Dock can't be returned at all.

Here's what's worth a look today. Analogue restocked the Pocket handheld and the White Dock yesterday, and our team called it a possible flip that depends on stock. The LISA DualSense we covered yesterday turned out not to be a PlayStation Direct exclusive, so our team lowered expectations. Star Wars: Galactic Racer got strong reviews ahead of its October 6 release. And one cheap Halloween novelty: the Tombstone Candy Corn Pizza, with its next drop on October 9.

Analogue Pocket and Dock restock

The Analogue Pocket is a handheld that plays original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges. The Analogue Dock connects it to a TV. Slumpd said the Pocket is Analogue's most popular console and "something we've flipped countless times over the years."

  • Retail: $239.99 for the Pocket (Black or White) and $129.99 for the Analogue Dock – White LE, per Analogue's store.
  • Our team's estimated resale: Slumpd posted eBay comps of $375+ for the Pocket and $250+ for the Dock.
  • When: The restock went live October 2 at 11:00 AM ET. Slumpd said orders ship in about two weeks, and Analogue's Pocket page lists it as available for preorder.
  • Where: store.analogue.co, Analogue's own store.
  • Limit and membership: We didn't see a per-order limit or a membership requirement on the store.

Where stock stands this morning

Slumpd reported the Dock sold out around 9:15 PM ET last night. When we checked Analogue's store data around 9:50 AM ET on October 3, the Dock – White LE was sold out, and the Pocket in Black and White was still available at $239.99. That matters. A product that stays in stock tends to pull resale prices down.

What eBay sold listings show

We checked eBay US sold listings for "analogue pocket" in new condition, sorted by most recently ended, around 9:45 AM ET on October 3. Standard Black and White Pockets sold between September 28 and October 1 for about $375 to $500. One of the $375 sales was a best offer, and a few others allowed offers, so some final prices may have been lower. Those sales came before this restock. Prices after a restock can be different.

Analogue's return and cancel rules

Read these before you buy. Analogue's support page says:

  • You can return unopened and unused products within 7 days of delivery. Once the shrink wrap is off, it isn't returnable.
  • All returns carry a 15% restocking fee, and you pay for return shipping.
  • Limited Edition products can't be returned. The White Dock is labeled "LE" on the store.
  • Preorders can be canceled before processing begins, and Analogue says it emails before processing starts. In-stock orders can't be canceled because they start processing right away.

Our team's take: a stock gamble

Slumpd called it a flip that depends on stock. How much was loaded, and whether Analogue restocks again soon after it sells out, decides the price. "With no way to track stock here it's just a risk you'd have to take," he said. If it doesn't work out, a return costs you 15% plus shipping on the Pocket. The LE Dock can't be returned at all, so only buy that one if you're fine keeping it.

LISA DualSense: not exclusive after all

Yesterday we covered the LISA DualSense preorder as a likely PlayStation Direct exclusive. It wasn't. Slumpd said links loaded overnight, and by 10:03 AM ET preorders were live at Best Buy, Amazon, GameStop and PlayStation Direct. He also posted links for Target and Walmart.

His update: "Downgrading the potential here." He still thinks it's worth ordering just in case, but he's "way less excited." With a short time between preorder and release, and a lot of other launches at the same time, he thinks it "might be tough."

When we checked PlayStation Direct around 9:50 AM ET on October 3, the page showed the controller as currently unavailable, still with a limit of 1 per order and an October 30, 2026 release date.

Our team's take: hold your preorder if you got one, but expect less. As we covered yesterday, PlayStation Direct lets you cancel a preorder up until it enters shipping, usually about six days before release. If you ordered from another store, check that store's own rules.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer: strong reviews

Yesterday our team said to keep the Collector's Edition preorder and see how the game reviews. The reviews are in. Metacritic shows a Metascore of 88 ("Generally Favorable") from more than 50 critics, with a release date of October 6, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.

Slumpd called it "good reviews" and said: "Lets see if this translates to more demand." That's the open question. Good reviews don't guarantee a higher resale price for the CE. As we covered yesterday, Amazon can charge a restocking fee of up to 100% on opened video games, so keep it sealed if you might return it.

Our team's take: keep holding and watch demand after launch.

Also in the channel: Tombstone Candy Corn Pizza

Dennis flagged a Halloween novelty: the Tombstone Candy Corn Pizza kit, a frozen pizza (pepperoni or five cheese) with candy corn topping. It costs $1.31 plus tax with overnight delivery included.

  • Limit: one kit per order and per household.
  • Drops: the terms list three drops at 2:00 PM ET: October 2, October 9 and October 23, while supplies last. The first drop showed sold out when we checked this morning.
  • Shipping: contiguous US only.
  • Refunds: the terms say "All sales are final and refunds will not be issued."

Dennis was honest: he's 99.99% sure it won't flip, unless the packaging turns out to be something people collect. It's a fun $1.31 pizza, not a flip.

How FNF members hear about these

All of this came through our lowkey flips Discord channel. Our team posts under-the-radar drops there with the retail price, an estimated resale, eBay comps, the drop time and a direct link, and pings members so they catch the window. Members also get the follow-ups, like today's downgrade on the LISA controller and the sellout note on the Dock, so they know when the picture changes.
