but you're assuming we aren't already camping there now? :lol:
nah, kidding.

May pop by earlier in the day to see who are the lucky first few in the queue... then I can go home and rest again before returning to catch the action at night.

Feel free to share this url with your friends. More updates will be posted tomorr... I mean, today :)

Here's the store front, but don't hang around here cos the queue forms at the basement :wink:

Stage at Basement level where the queue forms

The lines have Officially opened since 10:30am, but don't worry, no one has actually started to queue yet. The staff will guide customers to start filling Line A first. When that is full, they will open Line B, then C, D, E.... When the store opens, they will lead Line A up, before Line B, then C, D, E...

So you can be at the front of Lines B, C, D, E and get good views of the events on stage, but note that you will still have to wait for the earlier lines to go before you :)

Conversely, if you are at the back of Line A, and can't get good views of the stage.... at least you will still be heading into the store before the other lines? :P

Note the queueing policy, and items with per transaction limit.

Do they really anticipate such a big crowd?

For AOTC, the line outside Marina Square TRU (now closed) runs from the door to outside the toilet, make a U-Curve and continue from there.

For ROTS, if I remember correctly, it run along the basement open area, surrounding the sale area all around.

So kinda expected for this one and it might even be longer. :wink:
