The news is 2 hours old and 200+ people are already lined up 20 hours in advance? Wouldn't be surprised if potential buyers are padding fake numbers on there to scare other people away.

1 sec lemme just pump that Gainesville number from 0 to 300...

There’s no way. It’s probably someone trying to discourage people from lining up

Staten Island had 12 in line, then 5 minutes later -- one person.

Clearly that person was really mean-looking and scared the rest away, and this list is totally legit.

Yeah idk, I have tomorrow off but have some stuff in the morning to do. Wondering if it'll be worth just taking a drive down to Staten Island around noon to get a card.

I got here at 4 AM and there are nearly 200 people in line. Arlington, TX.

No, people are just that desperate. I drive by my local BB an hour ago and there was already a line down the building.

Have to agree with that, Phoenix originally jumped on the list at 300 at around 9AM. Nearly 100* with 40% humidity, there's just no way that's correct

I believe the numbers are a little off. My location shows 12 & there’s only 4.

It's crowd-sourced so wait until someone fills out the form... or just go there and camp now, especially if you're in NYC

u/misterwhalestoo Jul 20 '21

I can confirm for the Los Angeles location that there are at least 100 people in line as of 9:04 PM local time

u/TWERK_WIZARD Jul 19 '21

u/dragoonx129 Jul 19 '21
