mrsbmb Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Just wondering if anyone here has ever gotten in line first? If so what time did you arrive? kathy
elena_398 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Yes, I've been first in line at KB Toys. To get 1st in line, I lined up by 2am. I wouldn't have been first if the ladies in a van hadn't stayed in there! Once I got out in line, they piled out.
motherofboys Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Yes, I am first in line every year for the past 5 years at Toys R Us, along with my mom and sister. One year they even gave us coffee and pop tarts.
computerlady Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 We were first in line at Sears Last year for the $10 gift card. Got there at 3am.
mrsbmb Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Some organization..girl scouts or something was selling coffee and pastry at the walmart one last yr... clever
biomajor Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Yes, I was first in line at Kohl's 2 years ago-They had just opened the store, and it was interesting. I've also been first at other "different" stores like Big Lots and Hobby Lobby.
Rebirth Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Nope, I was maybe 10th in line for Office Max.
elena_398 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Oh and I was first in line at Toys r Us a few years ago
heavenlysshine Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I was 2nd in line at the Kmart up the road from my house last year. I have no clue what time I left to go up there, though. There were a few cars of people staying warm that were in the parking lot and one woman already in line and when I got in line after her the others started spilling out. ~H~
aztater Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I was first in line last year at Best Buy. We were in line at 11pm Thanksgiving Day.
elena_398 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I don't think I could line up that early! My 1:30-2am is still hard on me! i would have a problem with bathroom breaks lol
PhaserBait Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I was first in line last year at Best Buy. We were in line at 11pm Thanksgiving Day.When did other people start getting to Best Buy?
aztater Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 When did other people start getting to Best Buy? Midnight
outnumbered Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I was first in line at Sears last year. Got there at 4 am and was first--I actually sat in my car for about 10 min till I saw another car pull up. Then I got out and scurried over to the door so I could stake out my spot LOL.
Jenniferharrison82 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Never been first in line before, but this might be my year.
elena_398 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I've done that before. You pray no one comes so early so you can stay in the warm vehicle. Nothings worse than being parked for awhile and technically you are first, but another car comes and they barrel out. LOL, this happens all the time around here. Thats how I got to be first at KB toys. I pulled up at 2am and 2 cars were already there. I want to be first so I jumped out and I was almost in line when the other cars piled out. I sorta forced everyone out in the cold!
eve Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 We were like 3rd in line at kmart a few years back
Tracy72 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 nope never...the line is half way back in the parking lot...lol but I still get some good deals..
Marcster Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Two years ago I was first in @ OfficeMax. Last year there were a ton more people @ Officemax. I think the word got out -- "Best Buy & Circuit City get crowded, buy your electronics at the lesser traveled stores" (OfficeMax had deals on 20" TV/DVD/VCR combos and computer stuff). LOL!
littlezar Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Years ago, at Toys R Us, I was first in line when they had either a Little Tikes or Fisher Price workbench as a doorbuster for $20. I think at the time it was selling for $50.
Gporter34 Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I have been first in line at Hasting's Books, Music, and Video every year. They open here at 8am and it's right next door to Radio Shack. I leave WalMart by 6:15 usually, out of Radio Shack by 7:00 and in line next door. One year we saw some people about to get in line so my mom got in line first and waited while I got our stuff at Radio Shack.
lauralee Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Yes, i was first in line at Kmart last year. What a neat feeling, most everybody else in town was at Walmart.
Steakgoddess Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I was first in line at Wal0Mart one year. I got there at 4:30 for a 6 opening.
Marcster Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Yes, i was first in line at Kmart last year. What a neat feeling, most everybody else in town was at Walmart.WM is probably the #1 reason Kmart filed for bankruptcy...
MarkRaby Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I've always gone to JC Penny first, through the mall entrance, and there is never an organized line. It's just usually a relatively small group of people waiting outside who storm in once they open the doors. But I was the 2nd person to be there last year. -Mark-
oldandintheway Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I was first in line at Kmart and Target for a few years in a row. Kmart is about 2 blocks from my house so it's easy to get there quickly. I was in line at Kmart at 4 am, and on my way to Target by 5:30 am.
provresgrp Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 We always hit walmart first, but my local store lets everyone in and puts police tape up across the registers, blocking entrance beyond that point. That way EVERYONE gets in (crowded, but in) so there really is no 'first'. More of a huge mass of flesh just waiting to explode all in the same direction.
pcsoon Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I usually go for BB 1st. Never been 1st. My best was 6th and thats cause others were still waiting in their cars. 2-3am usually works for me. By 3:30 the line starts to from. For BB I always try and be in the 1st 30.:)
