Finally ready to pull the trigger on the Prime, and I can't find one *anywhere*. Does anyone have a line on where they can be found? I tried both Sacto and Roseville Fry's, Best Buy in Stockton and Elk Grove, not sure where else to look: ideas?
Thanks much if anyone has a line.
You are in the same boat and area I am. I have all but resigned myself to waiting for fry's or best buy to get it.

I'm in Sac too, but I'm on the Amazon waiting list... Have you tried calling local GameStops? Some people on the forums got lucky and found one in stores. Some people have had luck just stalking the Newegg/TigerDirect/BestBuy pages until they show they are in stock again. Personally I'm sticking to Amazon waitlist, hopefully won't be much more than 2-3 weeks.
Hadn't thought about Gamestop, thanks both of you.
Fyi the Closest tablet gamestop is in vacaville.
I would check out frys every day just call and ask. When the tf101 had availability issues that's where I was able to find one.
I lucked out on bestbuy.com and got mine on wednesday, just still looking for a dock.

I'm happy to say that I got mine today at Fry's in Manhattan Beach, CA. They had 4.
This really made my day but also annoyed that the whole pre-ordering is flawed.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Did they have docks?

Dude, I would call asap and get there as fast as I can if I were you.

Don't call! I did that last night and got nowhere. I was told to check online and select to ship in store to see if there's inventory.
Guys, just try to go. You'll know they sell it if you see the sign $499 where all the tablets are.
Bought mine around 11am. Only the 32G-Grey.
Just called.... one in stock but might be display model. He said fountain valley has 4 in stock.

i had the lady check the local inventory over the phone, the two in this area did not have any in stock. she took her time and checked each color/hd size specifically.
They do not have them on display in Fountain valley. I was there yesterday picking up a few things and checked the tablet area only had a TF101 on display. Fry's is generally clueless on what they have in store let alone what they do not display.

I guess they sold out then, rather than not getting any. I actually was at Fry's (Northgate one) two days ago (Thursday) and they had them in stock. I bought a 32 GB grey TFP.
Later that day I played with it and I found out it had a stuck pixel on it. I tried running a pixel fix, but it didn't work. When I called Fry's to check if they had any in stock still, the Northgate one didn't. But Roseville actually did. They had 6 in stock of the grey 32GB TFPs (probably also other models. Didn't check). So I rushed out there and swapped my TFP.
I was somewhat shocked to see they put my old TFP back with a $25 discount sticker on it without mentioning the dead pixel...
Just picked up a gray one from Manhattan beach. I think the employees are stashing them. First one said out of stock and second guy kinda didn't want to sell it to me. He tried to sell me the original one.

ya. but it's the only tablet withe Nvidia Tegra 3 processor.
Patiently wait...
Just because it's not in stock right at this very moment, doesn't mean there wont be anymore. Place an order with a vendor you like (or one that is taking orders) and then you will get one when their next shipment comes in. If you had ordered from Best Buy a day or two ago, they were in stock, ship from warehouse in 1-2 weeks. Now they show out of stock. When they find out when they are getting their next shipment, they will show up as available to order again.
Many of us waited at least a month. Lots are still waiting on docks ordered at the end of November, beginning of December
Ok. So, I don't know if this has been posted already but I looked and didn't see anything. If it has been posted, MODS please delete.
I just found out why I couldn't find the gray dock on Best Buy's website. It does not show up if you search for anything that has "Transformer or Prime" in it. You have to search for "Asus portable dock."
However, they do have it and it is in stock now. I just placed my order finally!

Picked one up yesterday. They had to get the last one from the back and confirm that they are not holding it for anyone. Sales guy said that every time they get those, people descend upon the store like locusts and sweep them up lol.
ugh. showed 1 ready for in-store pickup in my area. ordered it and canceled my amazon order. Now I get an email that says the dock isn't available at the location and to call bestbuy. They dont have any in the phoenix area at all and the soonest they'll get them is the 29th. Now cheapest on Amazon is $277.
Thanks, I cancelled my Amazon and ordered from Best Buy. It will arrive the day after I get my 64GB Prime.
I had posted another thread that indicated that 384 primes were in the BBuy warehouse in St. Louis. I made a purchase on the 20th and will get the prime on the 26th. Dock is also in stock. I do think they are getting a mass amount of primes at the stores in the very near future.
After reading a bunch of reviews on the transformer prime im looking to buy one at a store around my area. Mainly im looking for c3 batch and so that if theres any problem with the unit i can easily exchange it. I tried bestbuy but theyre all out of stock. They wont give any info on when theyre going to have new stocks. Heard about rumors that they wont be selling primes anymore for different kinds of reason. Dont know if any of this is true but i dont want to be left waiting for nothing. If anyone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction i will gladly appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for the help. They aswell are out of stock. Found out about acer iconia a510 and im loving the reviews ive been reading. I will buy this instead. This lack of stocks for the prime is prolly one of those blessings in disguise!

Check Gamestop's website. You can take a look at the stock at different local stores.
I picked up one from the Woodbridge Center Gamestop about a week and a half ago. It was a C2, though. And also be aware that I don't think you can straight-up return it for a refund if you don't like it. You can only get a replacement if it's defective, I believe. Has some decent games preinstalled, though.
Good luck.

Did you check Microcenter I picked up my second one at the Paterson location. We are also in delivery range of B & H photo. If you did have to return it you could do it in person at the Manhattan brick and mortar location. Got my first one from them.

If you dont mind refurbished, i found one for $90!

They have the tablet itself too (if any of you are like me and lurking around the forums, hoping to have enough money after Christmas to get one). Both for $360? Sounds like a deal to me.

Walmart had them on sale for$119 a few weeks ago but have gone up to $127. I Got Office Depot to match the$119 price.

Yep. I just called Office Depot and the manager said that if I brought my dock with the receipt and an add from Best Buy showing the new price of the dock, he would match their price and refund me some of the money. Pretty damn cool of him to do so if ya ask me. It's been almost a month since I purchased it. This is why I take the majority of my business to Office Depot now. I give them 2 thumbs up 4 sure!! :good::good:

Picking mine up today.Lucky i have a buddy that works in a city 1 1/2 hrs away and comutes everyday. Their best buy had 3 left.
I used the receipt in the other thread and got Office Depot to price match. I ended up paying $49.99 for the blue tablet I bought a month ago.
For those of you who need it, I also posted the price match receipt I got from Office Depot. It shows where I originally paid $119 and then the price match of $49.. I'm sure that if you take it to Office Depot they will honor it. (hopefully) LOL
