So I know you can't find the new charging brick anywhere, and I know that my Anker USB charging hub is really designed to deliver to smaller devices -- is there something that will approximate the fast charging abilities of the new brick so I don't have to carry it back and forth to work every day?
Got a tip for us?

Subscribed - I’m wondering the same thing. Seems strange that there’s not an 18W brick for sale by Apple, yet.
I have one of the Anker 30W Power Bricks https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-Delivery-PowerPort-MacBook/dp/B06Y427WT7/ref=sr_1_3 for my 12.9" iPad Pro Gen 1 (fast charge works great) and 12" MacBook. As the new iPad Pro has USB-C this power brick should work and provide fast charge capabilities.

I have the Apple 29W charging brick that I bought awhile back now for my 12.9, which is even better than the one in the box! However, it's a bit pricey as an additional brick... I would assume the Anker is equally good - and I have to say I am loving the (slow) move toward USB-C... can't wait until the phones are as well.
I saw these for $17 at Target on the aisles in the back where they discount stuff here in Texas. I picked up an extra one.
Pretty sure you can just use a Nintendo Switch standard Charger to fast charge, if you have one.
Any of Apple’s current USB-C chargers will work for you, and possibly even faster than the 18w included with the 2018 pros.
The 30w is likely better than the bigger bricks they sell and isn’t all that much bigger than the 18w included in the box.

I have several high-powered wall chargers with USB-A ports for my gear including my 9.7 iPad Pro that work just fine. I'm just going to get a few USB-A to USB-C cables and use my existing chargers to charge the new iPad Pro with USB-c. Yes, yes, I know it may not be "Fast Charging", but I've never really needed that. My devices get charged fast enough with the chargers I have on hand already.
I got this Anker brick and it charges my new 12.9 really fast! Plus it also has USB A so I can charge my iPhone at the same time. Great little brick.

The white model Is a few bucks less than the black one for some strange reason.
