iPad 2 in UK Apple Store Covent Garden

I am planning to buy a 3G iPad 2 32GB preferably white but don't really care as much as the capacity but if I line up at 6:15 ish in the morning of the 28th (3 days after it's launched) would I be able to get it at the apple store UK Covent Garden after it opens?? Would they get new stock each day after it's sold out??Or would I have to line up early to get it??

Macbook Pro 15 inch 2.4 GHz 500GB, Mac OS X (10.6.6), ios 4.2 (iPhone 4)

How would anyone here know?! ...We're all just users of Apple products like yourself.

Why don't you call the store, surely they would be the best ones to ask lol. Besides I very much doubt they will know themselves until closer to launch.

Why don't you queue up on the 25th??

That way you won't need to ask about new stock deliveries.

I can't because I'll be arriving in the UK on the 26th and I thought maybe buying it later would be a better chance of buying. The main reason I want it from the UK is because I will be going there right about when it comes out so I can have it early and because Japan's ipad 3G's are sim locked because of Softbank.

I've no idea sorry.

Just take a chance and pick what you will think would give you the best chance.

I'll try to be there on launch day on the 25th, but I have an important hospital stay looming and I'm not sure what will happen. 😟

You could also try other shops like Currys. Last year they were selling the ipad on release date and didn't have the long queues that you see at the Apple stores.

The Regent St & Covent Garden Apple stores are of a similar size.

I would imagine the queues will be bigger in Regent Street. The Regent Street store is always packed and because it is so busy it is difficult to find someone to ask about a product AND it takes ages to queue and pay. Covent Garden is so much easier all round and a pleasant place to shop.
