I dont know about drastically getting one sooner or later but back when the new iPhones came out some of the people who ordered online right away got their phones 2-3 days early. (I think that was the 3G one) until apple started calling the carriers to hold until the release date.

I think that's because of the release date though, not constraints on supply. I'll just have to wait and see when I get my tracking number!
 
Just called my local Apple Store in Boulder, Colorado as a business customer.

Was told they sold 4 Retina MBP's this morning that were meant for display models. No word yet on if there will be more soon.
 
I've gotten cool with the manager at my local apple store in TN. I was their at the time the store opened this morning an she told me usually when new products come out apple has a shipment at their store for them to be sold immediately which is why we started getting reports of them going on sale at 10 am this morning. She just confirmed to me that the new airs and base MacBook pro are on sale starting now and that the new retina macs will be on sale tomorrow morning as soon as they put out the new display models.

When will they put displays out?
 
Guys its not going to be in store for the next 4 weeks.

I ordered mine online as soon as the store came back up and I have to wait 2-4 weeks. Now why would the store get it any sooner than me? I am getting it straight from Shanghai.

1 person already got his today, and many others have already shipped. If you are given the 2-4 week window, you were several hours behind
 
Just called the Apple Store, they got 2 in today and they are on display - im headed to go check it out now.

They said they are expecting shipment tomorrow morning and will have a limited quantity for sale.

Will post pictures if they're on display..

At the apple store and just spoke to a friend working there and he said they just got the shipment in and are unpacking now. Limited supply and may start sellin them later today or tomorrow morning. ahhh....just gimme one

Because the stores already have shipments directed to them and planned earlier in their supply line. The first couple hours of ordering it would have only taken 5-7 days... what's to say the next order towards each store isn't going through at that time as well?
 
I posted a little while ago about the Lenox Mall store (Atlanta) telling me they'd be available today or tomorrow. One of the employees put me on his "business list" and said that someone would call me when they were available. Well, the guy just called me a minute ago and asked if I had "any questions about the new Macbook Pro". I said "yes...when can I buy one in stores?" He then told me that it will probably be at least a week. Bottom line, as has been established by other posters already: nobody in retail has any idea. They're all just guessing.
 
I called my Apple Store several times and around 1:00 Central they said they had just unpacked and opened a few up. I sped down there (literally) and they had sold out of 8 or so that they had. I can confirm this because one specialist was helping a girl that had just bought one set it up. I was able to see the machine for a few seconds...so it looks like certain stores might get them and certain others might not...me personally I'm in San Antonio
 
Re-called the Scottsdale store that previously told me to keep calling and that "it should be in soon!"... don't have Retinas in, and when I asked if they thought they'd be getting them anytime soon the guy told me "Our shipments are blind, we won't know".
 
One of the stores in my area said they would be getting in shipments all day so I'm probably gonna stop by around 1 to check if they got the retinas in. The employee I talked to said they should be getting the retina today so if anything I might be able to see a display/play with it, and maybe walk out with one if i'm super lucky.
 
I also ran around today and got one.

The first store I went to sold out all 10 they had by the time i get there at 11am, the 2nd had just got them when i showed up and sold me one. No display units even out yet.

Well I don't think it has been several hours. I watched the live blog and then read some comments and first impression and then I decided to buy it. If that already means that I need to wait 2-4 weeks cause tons of orders were crammed before me, then I don't see how Americans can complain about tough times.

How the hell can people just blind buy stuff 1 minute after the online store opened without even looking at the specs or opinions. And then complain about economy! Seriously what the hell is wrong with these people!
 
I'm very upset. I just called the store that I was waiting at 8:45 and they said they have one of each model in stock right now. Well guess what I was there this morning and you told me you wouldn't have any until later this week and I live 45 minutes away.
