iPad Pro Share the results of your retail store Apple Pencil stock check

Called Barton Springs Mall - Austin, TX around 2pm - they had both the keyboard and the pencil. Arrive at 2:30, neither were in stock. The store associate informed me that the Domain in Austin, TX had both in stock - I called about 15 minutes later and they were sold out already. Crazy!

Dfw Dallas plano ppl...Stonebriar mall one left. Not on the shelf any. Staff grabbed it from back. Go go go.....
 
Yeah, this is getting a little nutty.

For those of you that have managed to score one, is it the "stylus to end all styli" or....not a big deal? Do you feel like your IPP has some steam now, or, not so much?

I'm really trying to figure out if it's worth the Pencilgate hype or not. : /

The pencil is awesome - really adds a lot to the experience if you are drawing, note-taking, or using a handwriting recognition keyboard (like Stylus). Is it necessary? Not unless you're doing the aforementioned tasks.
 
Ahh! About to drive to University Park in Ft. Worth right now! Hope they have some in stock
 
Well I found the Keyboard here in Atlanta but no Pencils. The stores said tomorrow after 2:00 was next expected shipment.
 
Thanks! Design is the only reason that I got an IPP. I figured  Pencil + Astropad = Cintiq killer.

Just getting burnt out on the Apple Store staff runaround. "we have 'em, we don't have 'em, we don't hold them for business customer's, etc. ad nauseam."

No big deal, just itching to try the damn thing out with my rig! ;)

I've been trying since Saturday to get one. Neither store in San Antonio has the Pencil. It's so frustrating LOL.
 
Has anyone seen the pencils in Calgary? I went to both stores multiple times over the past few days with no luck. Market Mall say they have never received any, Chinook claims to have received 3 one morning and they sold out ASAP.
 
Anyone having any luck finding any in NYC? I've checked UWS and 5th Ave but neither have anything.
 
Not sure if there is anyone else in northeast Ohio here. But majorly striking out. Crocker/Legacy/Fairlawn have none. It seems like they only get about 3 yesterday and sold out quickly. One had three and told me they were selling quickly and I decided not make the 50 minute drive as I had a late meeting scheduled... Super frustrated here in Ohio as it looks like I am not going to hit the front of the 19th delivery window and I switched over all my teacher materials to the iPad pro because I thought I would be able to utilize it by now...

Glad others are having luck though.

Are you sure. I guy there just told my wife they don't have any and have never had any. Were you able to buy one? Who did you talk to?
 
I got one for myself and one for my coworker from the company store in Cupertino at around 10:30. There was four and I bought two. They said they had them in the morning when they opened. The last Smart Keyboard was sold out 10 minutes before I got there. Good luck!
 
Calling stores and check the stock helped me a lot.

Short Hills, NJ: shipments came around noon but no pencil included.
Staten Island, NY: when I got there around 1pm, two apple pencils were on the shelf so I was able to get one. The last one was sold while I was purchasing it.

I checked Boylston this morning, nada. Called cambridge side and nothing there too. If anyone has an extra pencil in the Boston area I'll happily take it off your hands. Traveling to and from the apple store takes an hour and a half so I can't keep checking every day.
 
I know there was some luck yesterday in the Seattle area, but I'm hoping that maybe there might be a chance at a second try for me today (busy day kept me from being able to leave the office in time to grab one yesterday). Anyone happen to see some in store today?
