Just came from Christiana 2 hours ago all colors of sport including pink in the 38 an 42mm sizes. Also not on the shelf but I got a Milanese loop. He brought it from the back.
I have the Classic Buckle so I didn't ask, and initially he denied anything other than sports before he brought out the Milanese.

They have some sport bands on the shelf, mainly for 42mm. Limited for 38mm. Also the worker checked stock in the back and was able to get 42mm black leather loop which I purchased. Seems they also have the navy blue one in stock in medium and large but stock is mostly for 42mm. I had a friend check stock in Otay Lakes Chula Vista, they don't have any at all.

Philly area and South Jersey
Sagemore store in Marlton has none
Cherry Hill store has black, white, green, and blue of sports in both 38 and 42mm
Walnut Street Philly has none
King of Prussia PA has none.
If you're in this area I'd hit Delaware because no tax and they are a very high volume store
And did I say no tax!
These stats are as of today 11-3pm

Went to 2 stores in the Phoenix area, Chandler Fashion square and San Tan village
Did the band swap Black sport for White sport at Chandler and bought the last 42mm Black Classic buckle at San Tan.
Cancelled my online order for the classic buckle

Apple store in Palo Alto had all the sport band colors and leather loop (these are not on display - had to ask someone to check inventory)
Walked out with the dark brown leather loop band. Now can cancel my order from 2 weeks ago that isn't expected to be delivered until first week of June!

Chandler AZ fashion square: had only sport bands, did the band swap black for white sport
Gilbert AZ Santan village: Picked up a 42mm Classic buckle black, last one they had

Very nice! I have the same color Watch and have the GSB on order. I wish I had the money to try either the Milanese Loop or Leather Loop to see how they look with the SG Sport.
Apple Store Aventura has the sport bands, I saw all the colors for 38 and 42mm, maybe 3-5 of each type. No Watch collection ones in stock as of yet though.
Pink sports band
I got the pink sports band yesterday from the Apple store but I think I'm gonna put it on craigslist or sell it because I really don't like it. I know there are a lot of people who ordered it and haven't gotten it yet and a lot of stores don't have it in stock. I was going to return it but then when I asked what they do with the return watches they said they send them back to the warehouse to have a meltdown and remade. They don't sell any items open box.
It's a 42 mm band

Ugh, I just called the local store and was told that they 'haven't gotten any bands in at all'. I called yesterday and they had quite a few Sport bands in stock. Yeah, sure. I'll try back in 20 minutes.
Picked up a 42MM Black sport band at The Woodlands Mall in Texas (just north of Houston) earlier today. They did have one large black leather loop in stock which I did try on, but it was way too big. Probably still there if someone's looking for one. Only the sport bands were on display, I had to ask them to bring out the leather loop from the back.

Stopped by Willowbrook mall in Houston, TX just before closing and saw they had a few sport bands. I didn't pay attention to if they were all 38mm or 42mm but it didn't seem like they had a lot. Just about 2-3 boxes of each color. I didn't notice any of the higher end bands.
Don't worry about driving to Tysons, as I was told the bands they have are only available for swaps and not retail sales tonight. I saw in another thread the Fair Oaks Mall store has SB and a select few of the others for actual sale.
Based on your post, I'm gonna take a trip to the Annapolis store tomorrow and see if I can pick up white, blue and green sport bands.
Apple Store Lincoln Rd (Miami Beach) had all colors of the sport band in 38mm and 42mm earlier today. I picked up a black 42mm sport band. I like it so far.
PS: Forgot to mention they had them with the black pin and stainless pin.

Called Apple Store Victoria Gardens (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif) about an hour ago and they said that all the stock of bands they have and all the ones they will be getting are going to made available for exchanges only. I was told this by 3 different people, that last of which supposedly went and talked to one of the managers.
acc to the phone center, both the galleria ft laud and boca raton stores are stocking the sport bands but not a lot above that...told "no stock yet" last nite, on the links and the loops....
Apple Store in soho and around W 14th in NYC had everything, sports, Milanese, link, leather loop, classic
But only the sports bands were on display, I had to ask to get the Milanese 42mm
