Where ShelfRadar is headed. Our alerts and ingest now run on managed, always-on monitoring, so we can put our energy into fast, reliable online restock alerts nationwide and into the intelligence that tells you what's actually worth chasing, so an alert is a smart buy, not just a ping. Dates are targets, not promises. Follow along or tell us what to build next in our Discord.
Phase 1 - Core alerts
Live nowReal-time restock alerts across the retailers and drops collectors hunt most.
- 40+ sources live: major retailers (Walmart, Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Costco, Micro Center, GameStop, and more added regularly) plus artist and studio drop feeds
- Managed, always-on monitoring, so alerts keep flowing without brittle self-hosted scrapers
- A clean live feed: third-party and marketplace listings over MSRP are filtered out, ones at or under MSRP are kept and badged, and pre-orders get their own lane
- In-store availability still lands for a handful of retailers today, with online, nationwide as the core; broader in-store coverage is being rebuilt as we grow
- Delivery by Discord, SMS (up to 20/day), and web push, with price and one-tap buy links
- Up to 100 SKUs tracked: Pokémon, One Piece, Lorcana, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, and more
- 15-second hot-drop radar on the most-hyped releases, plus sub-minute polling for everyone
- One simple plan: $10/month with a 3-day free trial, including the live feed and alerts, plus a free community Discord to talk drops
Phase 2 - Power features & intel
Live nowThe tools that turn an alert into a smart buy: what's worth chasing, and what it's really worth.
- Market Movers: TCGplayer price and demand trends with value runways
- Release calendar plus Queues & Drops signals for upcoming and in-progress drops
- Restock Forecast (predicted return windows) and Proof (a timestamped log of every alert we fired)
- Restock alert channels in Discord, per retailer and game, with your subscription
- Bulk CSV SKU import
Phase 3 - Sharper coverage & feed
Building nowDepth and precision on top of the core.
- More monitor coverage: additional retailers and marketplace sources as we bring new sources online
- A sharper feed: MSRP-guard tuning, better pre-order detection, and more first-party retailers
- Localized alerts in English and Spanish, end to end
- More community-voted retailers and product categories
- Proof in public: a running "spreads we caught this week" feed and member reviews, so the value is on the record
As we grow - In-store & international
PlannedWe refocused on fast, reliable online alerts, so in-store is lighter than it used to be. Rebuilding it is one of the big investments we will make as ShelfRadar grows.
- Rebuild and expand in-store beyond today's handful of retailers: per-store detail at scale as we verify coverage
- International coverage and localized alerts for collectors outside the US
