I'm out in California, and the owners of the two closest FLGS keep telling me that their distributers can't get them Item Pack 2 boosters because they are out of stock.
Are they in stock for me to purchase online at Paizo?
Sure! You can get them right here.
I'm a bit concerned about your retailers' explanation, though. Can you find out what distributor(s) he's trying to buy from?

Hey Frost King!
We have heard from a number of retailers that they are having trouble getting these packs in stock. The biggest reason for that is that the distributors were conservative on ordering the booster packs because it was a new format and they were wary. Unfortunately, that means they didn't have enough in stock to meet demand. The good news is that these distributors have started to order larger quantities of the booster packs and hopefully that will solve the problem with your FLGS.

I'll wait another week or so to see if the retailers and distributors can get their orders in, 'cause I like supporing the FLGS.
Well, if you can let us know who they're buying from, our sales folks can give them a call and make sure they get some stock. (Alternately, you could ask your retailer to let his distributor(s) know we have have plenty, and and ask them to order some for him.)
ACD does not have them in stock, IIRC.
I too am having a similar problem getting Item Pack 2 boosters. My local store (That's Entertainment Worcester/Fitchburg MA) didn't even know they existed and when they tried to order them they were told they were on back order as well. Its been 2 weeks and still waiting. They use Diamond Distributors. They are also having trouble getting Map Packs as well. Oh well, I still have item pack 1 stuff to hand out so its not a total loss yet :) By the way when is item pack 3 due out so I can get my order in early with my local store?
Thanks,
Kevin

Just thought I would update everyone. Its been over a month since I ordered my Item Pack 2 booster box and my local store still has not received them. Thats not really true, they got one pack of boosters from their distributor (Diamond) instead of a box. I, of course, bought it and I was, of course, impressed and pleased, but the distributor problem is really starting to urk me. I hope that my pre-order of Item Pack 3 does not have this problem.
