iPad 2: Chicagoland Apple Store Availability Updates?
- Thread starter aricher

Does Apple get shipments in for Saturday distribution? If so, I may find myself lining up outside the Michigan Ave store in the freezing Chicago morning weather before I go to C2E2 this weekend.
Jackpot! was around #30 in line today and got exactly what I wanted. Black 64gb wifi. Seemed like their stock was less than 100....maybe more around the 50-60 range.
Paid off getting there an hour earlier than yesterday. By the time I was up, there were a decent amount of 64gb wifi's left....maybe 10 or so.
Checked the quality of the ipad before I left. No pixel issues, no yellowing and ZERO bleeding. I'm glad my search is over!
Anyone else have luck at Michigan Ave????
Good job getting there at 8:15AM. Early bird gets the worm. Did they have any of the 16/32 wifi available? Was there a long line behind you after a bit?

thanks guys...I'm still in a state of disbelief a bit...
When we were about 10 or so back, I'm pretty sure they still had 32gb wifi's available, so I know they had them in stock. They also had 16gb in stock but much like yesterday, they were the first to go. The only model they had no stock in was anything ATT.

Some of you say your local targets had some stock, can you tell me which ones?
I stood in line on day one for 8 hours only to get one with a bad screen (piss Yellow) went to get a replacemnt but they dont even have any for warranty swaps. So they ordered it from applecare but said it could take 2-3 weeks.
So i am looking to purchase another and just return this defective one.
I stood in line so I would not have to play this game but here I am.

I turned up late at Old Orchard (about 9:30) and was told the 20 they got were allocated with tickets to people who showed up as early as 6am.
Don't think they had any AT&T but they weren't sure. I think Lincoln Park gets more stock since it's a larger (sq footage) store. I'm going to hit LP store at 6am tomorrow and hope I can get my AT&T 3G 64GB Black iPad 2. Supposedly the hardest model to find.

Just called the Evanston Best Buy, where I have a reservation, just to see if they've gotten any in since Friday - they haven't. That Target search thing does say that the Harlem/Irving Park target has 32GB wifi available... Too bad I'm looking for 16GB.
Got mine at Glendale Heights Target this morning. They had 2 black 32g, 1 white 64, both wifi only. Just checked again and Batavia says "Available" for black 32g wifi. I used the links from here https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/12159692/
sooo far! but thanks for the heads up. I am sure there is someone on these forums that are near there will gobble it up quick.
I wonder how good are they at refreshing current inventory. The Norridge store still says in stock..
yea from downtown it's prob an hour drive. got mine at 9am this morning. within 2 hours it went from "available" to "out of stock." and read the thread. people are getting to the Targets, employees are telling them they don't have any, but when the customers are specifically asking them to check inventory in their system, they are finding them in the back. those links have been pretty accurate. in and out in less than 5 minutes was much better than standing in line all morning.
So you're the one that took what I showed up for!
I got there about 9AM and when I left empty handed and checked the store inventory and it updated to Out of Stock...
I got there and there was only the white 64GB LEFT!
sorry! 🙁 check again later tonight. at around 11:30pm last night is when i saw the inventories changing.
Not mad at ya'
Just thought it was funny to see that they person that beat me out posted here.
Enjoy.
So are these ate the point yet where anyone can just walk in and get them yet or is that still a ways off? How long will the whole ' take a number/try tomorrow" game will last?
Are they getting some each day now?
