All gfx cards are out of stock  Embarrassed

have heard AMD and Nvidia coming up with specialized minings cards

When can we expect it to hit stores?

The local Fry's got a handful of nVidia cards back in stock this week...everything from 1050s to 1080Tis.  You'll pay through the nose for them, of course: the 1070s were going for a bit over $500 pre-rebate (for EVGA 1070 FTWs, IIRC).  I'm not sure if they're still there or if someone snapped them up.  They didn't receive huge quantities...maybe 3 or 4 1070s and a few more 1080s and 1080Tis.

Keep an eye out for deals on used cards.  My first 1070 (a PNY that looks like a reference implementation) cost me $375 on eBay, shipped maybe three weeks ago.  I spent last weekend out of town for an event.  Before going, I checked OfferUp for my destination and found someone selling an MSI 1070 Gaming X for $340.  I asked the seller if he could hold it until I got down there last Friday; he did.  Drove down, swapped cash for the card, added it to the rig when I got back home.  I've seen some deals pop up on Craigslist as well, but I can only act on so many of them at a time.
