If they are anything like amazon (seems like they have been slower in the Prime's case) you will get a notification in about a week saying it is in stock.. and it will be out of stock by then.
i don't even know if i'd want to buy from newegg at this point, they seem to have been the least vocal with their status
Best to just keep refreshing when you get the chance. I got my order in a few hours ago and it has already shipped.
just want to know how many ppl return the transformer primes to the store. dont doble post.

Returned mine to BB store today because screen wouldn't turn on, got a refund. Was willing to take another if the had any....but they didn't. Got refund and bought on off of Newegg about 2hrs later.
Returned mine yesterday after ICS update and some of my games and app stopped working. The thread to revert back to HC didn't exist yet so I thought I was SOL and my 14 day was up so I didn't have a choice. The only thing really broke on it was GPS but I didn't really use it anyway. And another reason I returned is because of the 7 inch prime coming out. That's my preffered size anyway. Plus its half the price of the 10 inch. I may still consider the 10 inch but probably will buy from Amazon so I can save on tax

I returned mine, wifi was fine, screen was perfect. ICS update had it rebooting all the time. I was on the last day to return it. Seemed like a better deal than a RMA. I have a dock still. I'd like a working one, they are sold out. If ICS had broken all of them I would have waited. But some work so there must be a hardware aspect

I'm in the same situation as you. ICS messed everything up for me, but don't know if I should wait for ASUS to fix it. I have till friday to return mine to BB. I just got the dock too
I returned mine on Tuesday due to the unknown serial number. I was going to re-order, but decided to save $100 and ordered the original TF-101. It was on sale for $399 (32GB). I decided stability was better than raw speed. When the next great tablet comes out, and isn't plagued with so many issues, maybe I'll upgrade.
I returned mine aswell. After the ICS upgrade it freezes on the first bootscreen. After a few times it boots normal but then after a few minutes it freezes again and i can start all over.
NEVER! LOL. device works to great for me to do such a silly thing
Having a perfectly running Prime with ICS I can't imagine using anything else at this time. All other tabs are a joke compared to Prime.

I returned mine on tuesday to BB. I just never felt confident with my purchase with the design flaws it had. I wasn't one of the people that *****ed that it had terrible GPS but my wifi sure took a hit. Next to my Photon phone, my phone would pick up better Wifi from my home network. The other annoyance was when the screen would not come on sometimes. I would have to hit the reset button to get it to start up again. I think it was just a combination of things that made me decide that if I was to spend this much money on a luxury item, ALL aspects of it should work beautifully. It sucks not having a toy to play with but I figure if I waited this long without one, I can wait a little bit longer for one that suits my needs all around.
Going back to Best Buy Today. I have the dreaded Serial Number Unknown Bug and cannot update firmware at all or root it.
Thanks Asus!
Mine was locking up and freezing after ics. I returned it to Best Buy yesterday and they accepted it no questions asked. Bought a new one on newegg yesterday that should be delivered today.

I returned a total of four to local Best Buy. Three belonging to me and one to my neighbor. My first two were returned within the first two weeks. My last one and my neighbors were twenty days. They did not want to refund stating it was past 14 days. I pulled out my iPhone and showed the manager the statement released by Asus in reference to the shell design hinderng wireless signals and also removing GPS as a spec. I said this is no longer the product that was advertised when I made my purchase. Primes were refunded along with keyboards.
I must say that it feels like a weight has been lifted. My neighbor had decided to ignore the Wifi and GPS issue but about 8 hours after updating to ICS his Prime started having very frequent App crashes that factory reset did not fix.
The "Oficial" Returns thread has Official spelled incorrectly.
...as a side observation, what has ever made any thread in forums "official" other than some non-mod nobody deciding that it's going to be official because he puts it in the title?
Mine is packaged in the box waiting to get dropped off at UPS to return to Amazon.
Said, bye bye...
After working with Asus on rebooting issue and the lack of GPS/ low wifi signal I finally said...Bye, bye to my Transformer Prime, Drove my Chevy to the Best Buy cause the reboots made me cry...
i contacted gamestop 2 days ago and they said they were getting a new shipment on the 11th for 2nd wave of pre orders and that if they had any left over i could exchange mine but they didnt think they would. manager advised me he put in an order with game stop product replacement and that he would call me when they got one.
it is not the 12th and they just called me and i just exchanged my prime for another one.
still wasn't able to get a champagne gold one. i swear those are rare or they only come in 64 GB model.
that was very fast turn around though to exchange so anyone who purchased theirs from gamestop might want to ask if the manager can put in a request for a product replacement.
Returned mine to gamestop today for refund.

Amethyst, Champagne, 32, or 64gb
Local Gamestop & Staples seem to be getting them in stock no problem every few days. Just have to be on the ball and give a quick online store check and put one on hold once a day. I have gotten lucky a few times no prob.
I just hate waiting although some don't mind. I returned one at Staples at 8am this morning due to HDMI out not working. They were out and so were other locations. They said that Staples.com had 48 in stock and they would ship me one by Monday.
Couldn't wait did a store check at Gamestop.com. Said low stock so i reserved one. And got a email that my Prime is ready for pick up .
Gonna go get it soon. ALTHOUGH...... We have only gotten Gray locally, i would really love a Champagne. But i already have the Gray dock

I have the Amethyst dock too and the Champaign Prime looks fantastic in it. I love the two tone look, it just works!
I wonder what serial numbers they will be, and I wonder if the bluetooth/Wi-Fi issues will be fixed.
I just received my replacement 32GB champayne from Amazon and it's C10KAS sku..
I haven't had a chance to do much with it yet, but when I get a chance I'll test to see if it still has the bluetooth + wifi fallout issue that my previous one did. I -did- test GPS already though, and like the one I returned to Amazon this one doesn't pick up any satellites at all Lol and the reference to GPS is nowhere to be found on the box this time around, unlike the last box.
Otherwise, the screen on this new one is much better, no dead pixels that I can see and only a very very small amount of backlight bleed in one corner; previous one had very visible bleeding in each of the 4 corners.
Hoping wifi performance is better on this one at the very least.

Its not on the box but it is on amazon's specs:
Product Description

So you could probably still complain if you wanted to.
Just bought my Prime this week after months of being sold out at Best Buy. I am very very into having a near perfect device. Ive returned my incredible 2 about 8 times until I got one that didn't have light leak on the capacitive buttons. Ive returned 5 rezounds until I got one with red capacitive buttons not pink and didn't overheat.
I may be called crazy but I like my expensive devices free of defects.
Got my Prime expecting to get a defective one with issues listed here on XDA. This thing is flawless. I dont know if they solved their quality control issues or I just got lucky but I'm very happy. Also, GPS locks instantly and works great

Dude, screw the GPS. Do speed test 10 times and get the average. Then, play some music files (locally) listening to them via bluetooth headset then do that speed test again and get back to us on how flawless it is. Trust me, I've had three myself all with the same issue. I don't believe anything is "fixed".

I just placed an order. Since mine is going back for RMA, I have a feeling I'll be missing it so I need something and what better way then to try Amazon. I made sure of their return policy. Can't beat 30 days. And I DO NOT expect a fully working wifi/BT card either. There is no way Asus "fixed" anything in something that Amazon just received. My guess (even if there is a fix) Asus won't have it ready until late March. Yep, takes a long time to get something changed into production.
Dock prices are still ripoff though... Ugh.

$149.99 seems like an ok deal to me. Bought mine on Newegg back in January.
I got one locally for $143 new. Odd but hey...

I purchased mine yesterday from TigerDirect for $599 and it was shipped the same day. Hopefully when it comes i wont have too many issues as far as WiFi goes, don't care about Bluetooth and GPS as much as i do WiFi.
If you cant find one just go to nowinstock.net and sign up and it will tell you know as soon as it becomes available and at what stores, you can also sign up to receive email alerts as soon as it becomes available.
As of this morning dock is sold out across the board.. The only Prime at Amazon is the 64GB champange, and even that is listed as 'in stock March 6th'.
Looks like BestBuy still has the 32GB grey, and TigerDirect has 64GB grey.

Well, was hoping to get 3 Year SquareTrade warranty by buying from Amazon. I think I'm gonna buy elsewhere...
dock and tablet sold out online, according to NIS..

of course I'm sure you can get lucky locally if you look hard enough.
I got another one in the mail today.....I did the early sign up and the rep called saying the would ship it. That was months ago, and I got it (I opened it up and posted pics). But today I got another one? Anyone else get 2 somehow?
got none...
I have 2. An engineering sample & one like everyone else has.
Open it up and see if you can mod it to make it moodmore compact

Y U NO GIVE DONGLE ASUS!?
I got two too, exact same scenario as original poster.
I would of gotten my second one but I moved out of State before It had arrived. Supposedly it's on its way back to the shipper.. Not sure if I want to go through calling up ASUS and explaining what happened:/

You must have gotten mine. It was shipped on 4/17 but has yet to arrive. Oh well, I've come to expect this level of service from Asus.
I got dual dongles also. A second one arrived today, champagne colored. hmm.... more Asus errors
I wonder what they'd go for if you put it on Ebay?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yeah i got another one today
I got my second one a few minutes ago. Are these newer ones better quality or something? And I, too, wonder how much they would go for on ebay.
I also jus received my 2nd one..
I have two, but because I got a replacement unit and applied for that one for a dongle. I got a 3rd replacement... I wonder if I could get a 3rd dongle. LOL I was thinking of either selling the extra one or being really really nice and just giving it to someone in a country that wont be getting the dongle...

Just looked asking price is $20-$30 USD
I just got my second one today. Even when Asus is doing something pro bono they are making themselves look bad with this tablet. You can not fault them for not trying though. This too funny.
Lot of folks would be happy with just the first to arrive (myself included)....Although, I know if I really want to speed up the shipping from ASUS, all I have to do is buy one off ebay. Then I'll probably have three at my door...
Just received another 2 myself, this makes 4 total for the 2 tablets I have.
Now I heard that they are saying that they are out of stock I wonder why?
I got two as well.
Bought a new TP 64GB from Amazon. Worked for 2 days, then the computer stopped recognizing it. MANY MANY calls to Asus "support" had me jump through all kinds of hoops trying everything to get the thing to work. Finally I ship the TP to Texas at MY expense for RMA. I finally got it back an hour ago UNCHANGED. They never even tested it to see if they fixed it. Now I call and get ANOTHER RMA, and have to send it in again. Never buy another Asus product. Period.
lesson*
Ha! I'm not laughing at you my friend, but just the situation in general. I just got an RMA # for this annoying LCD mura that I have as a result of Asus' crappy displays that they used, but I doubt I'm actually going to use it since the only thing worse than their product design is their RMA process. Judging from the majority of threads on XDA, you should probably just be happy that they didn't break it on you and either blame you for customer-induced damage or just ship you back a broken tablet. Asus sucks.

That was my thinking exactly. The OP states that after 2 days there were problems. Within that short of a time period I would have been going straight back to where it was purchased and asking for a replacement or refund. (online retailer or not).

exactly. they go from a company - Amazon - that is pretty much the gold standard for customer service amongst online retailers where they could have easily dealt with them and had a prime in their hands within a few days to trying to RMA it through Asus when there are a million threads and horror stories already on this board. makes no sense.
the LAST thing you should ever do is try to send it back to the company to fix when you can get a new unit.

This a true story? Why would you get an RMA from Asus when you could have just returned it back to Amazon and got a new one? I've received 5 Prime tablets from Asus RMA department and all of them had issues. If you actually read some of the older posts in here when everyone was RMA'ing their Prime's most people had like an average of 3 RMA returns for one tablet. The RMA process just made it worse.
hate to be one of those "cool story bro" guys, buuuuut this seems to be an exception. haven't seen a bad rma experience posted in at least the last month. sent mine in for a camera and lcd screen mura issue and had it back in hand within 12 days good to go. they've gotten a lot better. also, have you tried using any other computers? if they sent it back and its still not working, have you considered that your computer might be messed up?
anyways, good luck either way! i love my prime and although asus kinda screwed up with some aspects of the tablet, i'm super happy with it. cheers

Yes I checked other computers and the tech support folks had me try that and a bunch of other stuff as well before giving me an RMA. The tech people were fine. I just think they didn't test it before returning to me, or meant to send me a replacement and sent the original; back by mistake. I have been surprised at this experience for I did my homework before deciding to buy the prime and it was rated #1 in most reviews.

but it goes back to asus after you return it to them. it's the easier way to deal with all of this.
as for your prime, have you tried downloading the latest firmware file from the asus website and pushing that? does your charger work? anyways, best of luck!

Yes I tried all those ideas and the Asus folks had me check all those things as well. The port does work for charging, but is no longer recognized by a computer. It seems to have happened to a number of other primes too because I've seen other descriptions very similar. I put up one post where I asked people who had this issue and sent their prime in to RMA to report what Asus found when they completed the repair, but no one was willing to respond. I was going to report what the problem was when I got mine back but Asus didn't repair it, they just returned it..........
In all honesty, they received mine one week and was fixed and returned by the beginning of the next week. BUT, I can say that they did use some tool to open the case which scratched my freaking paint in some places I guess they figure just be happy we fixed it. In the paper work included in the return box somethings said fixed - void warranty, what does that mean.
