The spreadsheet shows the K-street store topped out at 150 people, and the Prudential Center one at 70...

I'm heading over to Scottsdale at 1:30 -- so will get there just after 2pm. Hopefully the 900+ person line is worked through by then... We'll see.

I'd like to see some verification for those numbers.

Make sure you read the comments before getting too excited. Like this one from MA:

200 I'm bad at estimating lines, but it's all the way down to the escalators past Talbots.
Yup, sounds like 200 people long to me.

Edit: according to those guesstimates, that's over 25k orders. Assuming none of those people are tricky and do one for their spouse or whatever too.

Yeah, I believe the 70. I walked past at like 7:45 in then morning and it was maybe 2/3 - 3/4 of that. It's a tiny store, so still looked quite long.

Saw video on the news of the line in the Bellevue WA mall store . . . looked like 100-150 people long

Just put my deposit down. 4 people ahead of me in line -- and 4-5 in line a few minutes later when I left. The woman said that they'd had over 800 deposits so far...

I am sure that if it had been any day other than today or tomorrow, there would have been substantially more. It's just barely past the perimeter of the Nuclear Security Summit security zone. I normally pass the store on my morning commute, but 11th street was a parking lot as far north as Rhode Island this morning, so I took 13thh...and had to stop at every fucking intersection for a motorcade. Traffic was fucked all around despite downtown DC being a ghost town. Almost all of the federal government was teleworking today. I think all of those of us that went in are those with kids at a certain age who are on spring break.
