Did you have any luck? Went last night and they said they had some earlier in the day, and that around noon was a good time to check.

The Apple Pencil is probably the biggest Apple Taxed pricing joke of all time.

for people who use wacom (and many people other than tech-heads), $100 is decent - to be able to draw and write the way they've always wanted on an iOS device. honestly does look to be a predatory wacom competitor already in its fledgling stage, at least in terms of quality lines and latency. i sure wouldn't complain if they hacked $20-30 off it, but i just wouldn't complain at all as it stands.

the iPad pro itself is priced about what i'd consider a very Apple-y 'consistent' price for people who simply want a bigger faster tablet -without- a stylus. those who do want it can spend another $100 for the luxury of a new item that has a lot of costly R&D behind it. almost anything hot off the press costs more. maybe down the road they'll bundle it, who knows.

but the point is that people with artistic talent/ambition can take that $100 and recoup it 100x or more over its lifetime use, depending on intent. if all you do is doodle pokemon characters in a daily journal, sure, maybe the price is a bit steep. so grab a notepad and an actual pencil, right?
 
Infinite Loop store on their campus has some in stock. Just picked one up, and they had about 5 left. Hurry if you're in the area.
 
Pacific Centre store in Vancouver Canada had (perhaps still have) some pencils in now....

I'll keep checking there too, and if I see that they have some I'll let you know.

Awesome, I was told they received 8 yesterday and were gone in about 2 hours, they didn't get any today. If you get lucky and happen to pick up 2 I'll take one off your hands ;)
 
Just want to contribute to the forum because it help me when I was tweaking to find the Apple pencil.

Got mine today (one day early) from Best Buy from a preorder a week ago.

Thanks for the help MacRumors Forum!!!
