I complete a group buy 3 reels of 3,000 each last month.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=396536.0There do not seem to be any full reels in stock currently. I am waiting for news on another production to get 1 for myself and possibly conduct another group buy. Any updates from me would be in the group buy section. If you increase your order size to 3,000 you could get a full reel for yourself from MegaBigPicture when they announce another production.
There is a European side of BitFury will possibly be doing trays of 2,400

Your only option if you need them right now is to pay the single chip price from MegaBigPicture.com otherwise you need to wait for another production (which is not even guaranteed to happen) and pre order by the reel or in a reel group buy to get a bulk price. It's a bottleneck in the hardware development process, but unless you can put up the $1 Million+ to produce your own asic chips you have to follow the cycle of people making raw chip available to small developers and hobbyists.
