The "I have found lightning cable and adapters!" Thread

Is there any official word on when the adapters will arrive beyond "October?" I'm holding off on selling my 4 / buying a 5 until I hear if the adapter works for my car stereo.
It's insanely weird that these wouldn't be ready for launch.

Apple gave me a free one with my iPhone 5 purchase due to an inconvenience they caused me.
It was supposed to ship in mid October, I got an email on Friday (iPhone 5 release day) that it is coming Monday, currently it is in Alaska.
So if need be, order from apple.com, you'll most likely receive it quick.

Apple store in Paramus NJ had a ton of cables(and phones surprisingly) but no adapters as of Saturday morning.
The white cube you're referring to does not come with the cable. That is the power adapter. The Lightning to USB Cable is just that. For an extra wall charging set you'd need to buy both the Lightning to USB Cable & Power Adapter.
The AC adaptors from your previous iPhones/iPads will work if you have those instead of buying a new one
Local Best Buy said they won't be getting any accessories aside from cases for over a month.
That store tends to usually have good quantities of accessories. I'll probably have an update in a couple days.

Thanks for the replies. I'll need to buy an extra AC adapter since this is my first Apple product.
My local Apple store had them upon opening this morning, however they sold out before I left. An amazing amount of demand. Glad I got mine when I first entered the store instead of after browsing for some time.
I'm betting that after a few weeks, Apple will come to its senses and give away the plug adapters. A strong part of the Apple ecosystem is that everyone already has cables lying around and you can always count on finding what you need even when you're far from home. It's one thing to switch connectors, but I'm sure they could have simple charging adapters produced for 25 cents a pop that would avoid submarining their entire ecosystem of existing cables.
This is killing me. I'm holding off on selling my 4 / buying a 5 until the lightning-to-30pin adapter comes out and I hear that it works with the stereo in my Hyundai (or at least a similar model).
How in the hell did they not have this ready for launch?

I ordered the USB to lightning cable on Saturday from the Apple store and just received an email that they are being shipped from China via FedEx. The adapter is still back ordered.
Cable location update?
Any updates on this thread? Where can I find these other than Apple Stores?
Best Buy still doesn't have them in yet. (I guess someone in this thread says the 28th, so I'll see...)
And has anyone found them at Target/Walmart/Elsewhere?
