Placed an order for in store pickup of the Pencil in the St. Louis area and just got my email that it is ready for pickup!
Went back and checked the listing out of curiosity and it looks like there are no more available in the area to order for pickup.
Still no dice on the Smart Keyboard though...

My pickup was in Springfield MO. Still shows available right now.

If you know that you're going to get the iPP, get the pencil when you can.The Pencil is available where I am. How pathetic is it that I want to go purchase it even though I won't buy the iPP until December or January?

The Apple rep at BB told me no one has asked him about the Pencil since the Pro launched last week.
Doesn't mean though that when it actually is available in that store that they wouldn't be gone quickly. Like I said, keep alert on the website and order for pickup. Better than bouncing around driving to different Apple stores and not finding any. I was lucky today that the Apple store I stopped at first thing had one, I want another as a spare and will wait for BB to get it in.

Alright, the Pencil finally (like, seconds ago) appeared in a store in San Antonio so I quickly snatched it up online for pickup. Now for that darn keyboard!!
EDIT: Didn't even look to see which store it was before I ordered it; it just so happens to be at the BB store right next to where I'm taking the wife to see a movie tonight. Lucky!

Hell yeah. The journey isn't over until we all get our accessories; I still have a smart keyboard to acquire before the lame Apple ship date I have.

When I got to the one on south lindbergh to pick up my pencil - there were hardly any customers in the store at all and the employees at the pick up window said they had not seen one of the pencils yet and asked me what it was used for.

None of the Best Buys had the Smart Keyboard in my area, but I did get a Pencil! So far, I'm enjoying it more than I thought. I have the Smart Keyboard on order with Apple, but decided to pick up the Logitech Create to see if I like it since I have till January to return it. It is heavier than I'd like and definitely takes away the thinness aspect, but the keyboard is solid and I don't find it that hard to disconnect the iPad as others have suggested. Might just keep the Smart Cover for when I want to do sketching/or hold it bare, but other than that, I can see myself using this keyboard a lot.

Checked all weekend and never saw any pop up; the struggle is real. Hopefully if someone finds one at a Best Buy this week they'll let us know!
