Every detection, by hour of day.

Eastern time. The empty daytime columns are the finding — if you check Best Buy on your lunch break, the wave you're looking for happened hours earlier.

How to read this A restock here is Best Buy's site flipping an item from out-of-stock to purchasable. The waves are small and sell through fast — the hour a wave lands matters more than how many land in a day.

Methodology

How this was measured.

  • Source. Swooper's monitoring stack — our Best Buy monitor's real-time alert feed, logging a detection the moment an item becomes purchasable (including preorder slots reopening, which Best Buy uses heavily). Only confirmed restock events are counted; status changes and new-listing discoveries are excluded.
  • Window. August 14, 2026 – August 29, 2026 (16-day monitoring window).
  • Sample. 111 Magic: The Gathering restock detections across 6 tracked Magic: The Gathering products, 6 of which restocked at least once.
  • Timezone. All times converted to US Eastern.
  • What it is not. This measures online inventory flips at bestbuy.com for the Magic: The Gathering products Swooper tracks — not in-store stocking, and not the entire catalogue.

Swooper, the drop-hunting mascot

You can't set an alarm for 9PM every night.

Swooper watches every tracked product around the clock and checks out for you the second one flips — while you're asleep.
