Just as expected, Toys ‘R’ Us has now joined the growing list of U.S. retailers to offer the iPad 2. The toy giant began advertising the second-generation tablet on Sunday, which is now available for purchase in selected stores. (If you can find stock.)
There is a list of stores now offering the iPad 2 available on the Toys ‘R’ Us website, and a leaked product sheet indicates the retailer will also offer the Smart Covers, Camera Connection Kit, and VGA Connector to accompany the device.
Toys ‘R’ Us joins Best Buy, Walmart, Target, AT&T and Verizon on the list of third-party stores to offer the iPad 2 as Apple’s retail expansion for the device continues to grow in the U.S.
Despite this, the device seems to be no easier to obtain – with stores continuing to sell out the day they receive their stock.

The font face used in that ad makes my eyes burn. It’s too much like Comic Sans for my taste. Maybe that’s how Toys ‘R’ Us will control demand for the iPad 2!
As a person who spends a LOT of time at Toys R Us after distributing my kids allowances, I would love to be able to pick up something for myself since I haven’t collected Barbie dolls for over 30 years.
good luck, i went to toys r us yesterday and they were like “oh, we didn’t even get any in”, apparently a ton of locations didn’t get any, despite them putting up signs saying ipad 2s here.
