Just got a pencil order placed for in store pickup. Thanks for the heads up!
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...

Sweet! 
Just ordered the Pencil. No keyboard though. Now off to cancel pencil order from Apple.

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?
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!

Just ordered a Pencil from Best Buy for Tuesday delivery so I know I'll have one by the long Thanksgiving weekend. I'm tired of waiting for Apple to take mine out of processing.

Pencil picked up; now to enjoy The Night After at the Alamo Drafthouse. Beer is already in hand.
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.

Found one not to far from me, bought and picking it up tomorrow, thanks!
Lame is correct. LolHell 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.
None in a 250 mile area now, before one was 60 or so miles away. YES more annoying hours wasted trying to get this thing before the return date for the iPP runs out. *ugggh

Thanks ZombiePete! I should have mine Tuesday. It supposedly shipped today from Best Buy.
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!
Anyone with knowledge of Best Buy's procedures know when they tend to receive deliveries daily and when they get entered into inventory?
