They have the lowest spec model in Gold and Silver.

The also have the HDMI adapter.
 
Interesting that we are seeing some stock in the UK at long last.

Currys Chester have the base model in all colours on display and said you're able to order the base model for delivery in around 1 week. No dates for the
1.2 or 1.3 though.
 
Stock lying around in stores while online orders are backordered for so many...

A strange, strange launch.
 
Thanks for the update. Called Apple just now and there appear to be no stock for sale in Stratford, Regent St or Covent Garden.

Anyone seen stock around London?
 
Currys in Swindon had one display model and said weeks before they get physical stock. If you want to order said around a week or so. Tried it out and it's fabulous. Gold is amazing and the sound is very good. Love the keyboard, cannot now wait.

Had them yesterday at Apple Store White City. Silver and Gold and both configs.
 
Yeah I picked a Silver rMB in basic spec from high cross in Leicester today. Apparently they just got a random shipment yesterday. When I was handed it earlier half the staff seemed surprised themselves they had them in as well, very strange.

But very happy, had been debating whether to just order one online, glad I didn't now and kept bugging staff ha :D

Any ideas if they had gold in 1.2/512? :p
 
Visited the Trafford Centre store today. Was first told that there were none in stock, then that there were 2 gold and 2 silver (base model). Got told someone would come over to help me purchase it, waited 20 minutes and no one came. Asked again. Finally went to purchase, only to be told there was only silver in stock. Still went ahead with it, rather excited, then told at the very last minute that there were none in stock! What a shambles! I have never had a bad experience in the Apple Store until today. They all seemed to be clueless.

Also went to the Manchester Arndale store afterwards, they had just sold out. The guy there told me that they received 10 gold and 10 silver base models on Friday, and that there might be another delivery this week.
