we go and get in line at about 4 or 4:30am. i go with 1-2 other people and we hit where we need to hit (i know basicly where they are going to put things at my walmart). tip DONT GET A CART RIGHT AWAY it only slows you down everyone rushes for a cart right away and no one is going after what they want/need, and odds are if the thing that you want a popular idem it will be gone by the time you get there if you are in the middle-back of the line!!!!
