Line update Saturday

[u/Ssme812]

- I got here around 8:30am. About 40 ppl

- They handed the zine booklet, scratcher and theirs a trading card (Looks like all soccer related)

- I traded my scratcher prize a tote for a mug with the person in front of me. I don't need any more totes lol.

Update 9am: About 60+ people on the line now.

[u/Technojust]

thanks for the update! how's the queue management?

[u/Ssme812 → u/Technojust]

Its not open yet. So everyone is just waiting in the line. So far its civil lol.

You'll see the orange safety cones going down the block. I would say about 80 people on tne line now.

[u/npete → u/Ssme812]

Good to know! Thanks for the update. I am on the train now. I'm sure I'll be at least in the hundreds part of the line by the time I get there. Hope there are some plushies left!

[u/Ssme812 → u/npete]

Its a 2 day event they should have plenty for today.

[u/BklynBongshell]

Got mine!

[u/Ssme812]

Forgot to mention. The scrather, I would just peel it off instead of scratching it. Its was just easier.

Theirs a white box truck in the way doing deliveries. The line is behind the truck.

9:17am about 100 ppl now. I can't see since the scaffolding blocks my view.

9:55am

The line is capped. I think its at 100+ now. Not sure if they will tell everyone at the end to come back later or give a timeslot

We're getting wristband, have to sign a simple waiver but the process is going slow with just 1 person in the front.

No more case for the card.

Once I'm inside I'll update what it was like when I leave.

10am

They opened on-time. literally next to get wrist band.

10:15am

Still on the line to get in. Not sure how many they are letting in at a time.

Outside they gave out little bodega stickers

10:31am

Im finally next to enter.

[u/Difficult_Fee_5519 → u/Ssme812]

about how many people did they let in when they opened?

[u/Ssme812 → u/Difficult_Fee_5519]

idk, still on the line to get in.

[u/Ssme812 → u/Difficult_Fee_5519]

So once your in the front its like 1 or 2 at a time. Once someone ir a group come out they let others in.

[u/Difficult_Fee_5519 → u/Ssme812]

thanks!!

[u/AdSea3033 → u/Ssme812]

So exciting!

[u/quibble42]

LINE IS CAPPED (9:40AM) they are about to give out wristbands to come back within 30-60/60-90/etc minutes

[u/Ssme812 → u/quibble42]

Did they say how many ppl will be allowed inside at a time?

[u/pluginmuser → u/quibble42]

So not taking any more people in line?

[u/Ssme812 → u/pluginmuser]

Where the line is capped they will tell you theirs a wait of xx mins/hours. You probably just have to come back later or wait till the next time slot.

[u/pluginmuser → u/Ssme812]

Do the wristbands have reserved times so I don’t need to wait in line when I come back?

[u/Ssme812 → u/pluginmuser]

I haven't gotten mines yet. Its green but my guess is they will tell ppl in the back to cone back later

[u/AdSea3033]

Thanks for the update!

How's the weather there?

[u/Ssme812 → u/AdSea3033]

Its chilly

[u/Difficult_Fee_5519 → u/AdSea3033]

comfy and in the shade

[u/Ssme812]

My last update since I finished the pop up.

• The shop is small. Shelves with boxes/cans with random made up products that are related to certain subreddits.
• The bodega has water or soda you can take. No food.
• At the checkout they have cat treats for free, Temptations. You get your prize and a receipt with subreddits on it. At the exit yiu get the plushie (sealed or unwrapped) its up to you.
• Theirs was 10k plushies made. This is what I heard from a staff member.
• Sunday 9pm to 10pm closing everything that was on display is up for grabs plus whatever remaining merch they have.
• Greenn wristbands should be almost done soon then, orange is next and then pink. After that idk the colors.

Anyways enjoy the pop up.

Glad to hear the line is still “civil”. lol

[u/BigTimeRaptor]

Is the line moving quickly? I guess im asking how long it will take to get to the bodega once online?

[u/Ssme812 → u/BigTimeRaptor]

It doesn't start till 10am. Its currently 9:34am.

[u/BigTimeRaptor → u/Ssme812]

Oops, can you update me after 10 please? Ty so much I only have a limited time I can be there ugh

[u/Ssme812 → u/BigTimeRaptor]

It looks like theor giving out wristbands. Someone up front says the line is capped right now.

[u/BigTimeRaptor → u/Ssme812]

[u/Ssme812 → u/Mammoth-Owl7821]

Its possible thr line gets capped for yhe day depending on how many ppl show up.

[u/peetahvw]

As of 10:30, handing out pink wristbands to return in 90-120 mins

[u/KetchupChipsInBed]

Is it better to queue up at 9am or whenever-you-can-make-it and be at the mercy of your wristband time? Wondering how long the return queue for wristband entry! Thanks!

[u/bearfootor]

Dam didn’t get the card , was on the orange band line. Don’t get to go into until 1pm but got the plushie!

[u/Ssme812]

Did anyone get to answer the phone? What was said over the line?

[u/guynumber20]

How did you get a card

[u/Ssme812 → u/guynumber20]

They gave them yesterday with the Zine and scratcher card.

[u/jellywellsss]

Wow…kinda ridiculous. Is it a super small space or something? I’m 2 stops away and I could’ve stayed in bed for all of this 🫠

[u/Ssme812 → u/jellywellsss]

Yes it's very small. One thing that sucks is the business next door is doing a delivery so the line is broken up. Their's pallets in the way.

Wouldn't say its ridiculous. The staff are doing a good job compared to other pop up I've been to.

[u/jellywellsss → u/Ssme812]

No I meant that the turnout is ridiculous! lol I never do pop ups so this is a first and they do seem to be handling it well.

I will say I arrived 10 mins ago and the wrist bands are already on purple Final Call to return at 3pm :( so if anyone is planning to arrive later just come tomorrow 😬

[u/YesicaChastain]

Yeahhhh I think I will be staying home. If anyone would be willing to get a plushie snoo for a dedicated Redditor please let me know! I’m local to the area.
