I was planning to go, but didn't really feel like travelling hours just to spend half an hour in an overcrowded store.
Do they offer any exclusive merch? The pictures they've posted on their twitter only show some generic plushies.

Been queuing for 2 hours now. Heard the back of the queue is a 4 hour wait. Rumour is that the Wailords have sold out.

10/10 British experience.

mfw the longest lines I saw in my country were spanning the length of the hallway in the shopping mall (when GTAIV came out on Xbox360). I was born shortly before the fall of USSR, so I maybe lines in Perestroika were probably more comparable.

They've closed the queue for today, so no one else can join the line. At least that means that hopefully everyone there will make it into the store before 10pm. Going to wait and see if they confirm whether there's going to be a re-stock before going tomorrow.
