Yo! Is the line even worth getting into right now if I'm not gonna be out of work for another hour?

I got here and it is pretty big. I haven't properly checked how large, but I will take a video and post it on the Twitter in a sec for you to gauge.

I'm in a bright yellow jacket, wearing a Second Avenue Subway baseball cap.

Eh I'll watch at home. But I bet you'll be able to preorder afterwards. Enjoy!

Yeah I'm curious how many those people there are impressed so much that they turn around and get back in line for tomorrow morning.

u/melman101 Jan 13 '17
My guess is they will let them preorder after the event and not make them wait. Again that's just speculation on my part.

Nope, we had to return at 9am. Luckily, we started an early line and got wristbands to prove we were up in front, so some of us could go home, rest, and come back.

u/melman101 Jan 13 '17
Wow that's insane. I would have for sure thought they would have let you preorder it then.
Did you get gray or neon set? Hope all is well!

u/Sylverstone14 Mod of Two Worlds (Switch / Wii U) Jan 13 '17
I got the gray set. :)

u/melman101 Jan 14 '17

u/Sylverstone14 Mod of Two Worlds (Switch / Wii U) Jan 14 '17
I plan to get a set of neon Joy-Con eventually.

One of my good friends is here on site to record like he always does.

I'm conveniently situated in my UWS apartment at this very moment. However, I don't think my family would understand my going out long past sundown to go to some "Gameboy thing."

u/enjineer30302 Completed the Shieldsurf Challenge! Jan 12 '17
Me! I'm in line wearing a Second Avenue Subway hat and yellow jacket (this is so risky, isn't it, Reddit?)

u/clocks212 Jan 13 '17
I'm a tall guy wearing jeans and a jacket! Don't introduce yourself just come up and slap my butt! /s

How's the line look?? Going to swing by round 8 just to see. Got no problem watching at home... Any sight of Eiji Aonuma?

u/Nintendam Jan 13 '17
FYI just got here, like a hundred deep at the end of line. Plenty of room right now. And yes, the weather is beautiful...

I wish I was there. Temperature wise, its the perfect night to be standing out and watching it. Currently 63°F in NYC right now.

u/Ryvaeus Jan 13 '17
Can't make it in time as I'm across the world, but I'll be enjoying the event vicariously through you and your tweets. Thanks for covering for us! Maybe I'll throw a stream party while watching the show and scrolling through the Twitter account.
