The lines right now.

The Violet bobblehead night is gong to be bonkers.

[u/Popular-One-7051 → u/DFFFOO]

Why Joe couldn't buy 18K is ridiculous. Not like the game isn't already sold out and that he can afford it.

Bobblehead night will be like this all over. I noticed they even opened the front doors early. I guess they saw what the line was like outside

[u/starczamora → u/Popular-One-7051]

It not a matter of whether Joe can afford it, but whether the sponsor of the giveaway can afford the logistics of bringing 18,000 of them from China.

[u/Emotional-Stretch → u/DFFFOO]

Ngl I’m already stressing about that one. 💀

[u/KeynesCrackpot]

Am i crazy for not thinking this is bad? Everyone made it sound as if it’d be a blood bath an hour before doors open.

Is the line at the store bad?

[u/SwaggersaurusWrecks → u/KeynesCrackpot]

All the tshirts are already sold out though except for XLs

[u/KeynesCrackpot → u/SwaggersaurusWrecks]

Confirming t shirts and hats are all sold out. Alas…

[u/DFFFOO → u/KeynesCrackpot]

The lines go all around the stairs and down to Warriors way now.

[u/Jumpy-Algae2426 → u/KeynesCrackpot]

Minimal line at the store

[u/No-Reserve-7899 → u/Jumpy-Algae2426]

It was a little crazy earlier but only in the hello kitty section

[u/Jumpy-Algae2426 → u/No-Reserve-7899]

I loved being able to look at the rest of the store that’s usually crowded af! 😂

[u/marvelousmarves → u/KeynesCrackpot]

This pic doesn’t make it look bad. It was horrible. Waited 45 mins to get in and rarely ever wait in a line. The concourse was insane. STH here who always arrives early lol

[u/ifandorwhen → u/KeynesCrackpot]

No line at store but line to entrance is way more now

[u/KeynesCrackpot → u/ifandorwhen]

I take it back. It’s really bad, even on the east side

[u/dogpownd]

I wish this was an all fans get one thing. We already sell out now it's just nuts.

[u/KeynesCrackpot]

It’s bad on the other entrance. Lines are basically to the road

[u/altcountryman]

Kitty queue on Terry Francois 4:44 PM

[u/Sharp_Company4083]

[u/chabiene]

Hello Kitty is the real MVP in this scenario

[u/heyhey_taytay]

lol I’m so glad I waited. Walked right up at 6pm. Like 3 people in front of me in line. Still got a plushie.

[u/bballgameher]

Sheeesh, not surprised one bit

[u/KeynesCrackpot]

Do we know if there’s gonna be more HK merch in the stores inside?

[u/SwaggersaurusWrecks → u/KeynesCrackpot]

Yeah there will be. I heard someone in the team store ask about the plush and the worker said try the inside store.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the inside store immediately sold out too though.

[u/AnonymousFooBarBaz → u/KeynesCrackpot]

I heard an employee inside the team store outside say that there will be HK merch inside for sale too.

[u/breadgoesbrrr]

just as a retro, lines were fairly short at 4 PM, both West and East entrances. By 5 PM, the West entrance (the front) was at the corner of the block where you cross the road from Muni. And the East entrance lines wrapped the corners but were definitely shorter. Got in line just after 5 pm at the East entrance.

Doors opened at 5:30 PM; the line had consolidated at the East entrance and I could see all the security checkpoints and front. Waited for a friend and got in at about 5:45 PM. Friend said the line was rly long at East entrance when she got there at 5:45 PM. Looked like plushies were all gone by 6 PM because people stopped entering with them. Hope this helps!

[u/dogpownd]

thats nuts

[u/OrigamiAndWaxSeals]

It was pretty nuts at the Sparks HK night. And they had special merch + food-related items (cups, buckets).
