    What are ya thinking for line? I'm not betting, just curious. It's all guessing at this point.

    I'd bet at 2am on Saturday it's at the very least >75, probably >100.

    Damn, that's nuts. Even with weather like it will be that night? All the events like this that I have done with colder weather only see people really lining up early AM rather than day before (for the bulk of people). I mean it's predicted to be warmer than a few days ago, but still below freezing.

    People line up at apeshit hours in the cold for pulpit stouts, and they're a fraction as valuable as the potential to acquire a kbbs ticket.

    That's fair. I guess it'll be interesting to see. Based on the past late releases of KBBS tickets, how many tickets do they usually release? I assumed it would be like 10 for the first few and not really worth spending the night on concrete lol

    Plenty of people that go to these types of releases have tents/heaters/etc and are well prepared for cold. Makes it not so bad to be "outside"

    I wonder if there’s going to be any sort of system to prevent line jumpers right before they open?

    Also noticed that tidbit. From what I've heard it more so to bring X-hops back and some of the spin offs from that. Looking forward to the return of Sol Hunter...

    Great television in the chicago trade forums today.

    Interesting to read the Chicago threads and look at the trade forums here. Pretty interesting to see people asking for such a high value straight out, when you could just walk into Binny's at open and get it.

    Yep. I feel bad for the guys waiting in line in Decorah while others just strolled up to Binnys at open today and bought multiple bottles. Granted, they are marked up quite a bit at Binnys, but it still beats waiting in the cold.

    Line check?

    I mean, anyone waiting right now is doing it for kbbs, not for this lol. Also the chicago release has been known for awhile now, and you'd be stupid if you didn't think they would comically tank the value, they always rush to sell and undercut.

    Can't all masters like st louis who let everyone come to them.

    Damn, 50 people are going to be pissed they waited 18 hours in the cold for nothing but an Assassin.

    What about the people at the loading dock? Clearly not there before everyone else
