[Resolved] iPhone 5 | 119th & Roe | Leawood, KS

willmtaylor · 12:51 PM

Anyone planning on lining up at the Apple store in Leawood on Friday? There have been significant lines there in the past, so I didn't know if any fellow MR members would be there.

Jman14 · Sep 19, 2012, 04:32 PM

I will be there, starting tomorrow evening around 9:00 P.M.

Have you done it before or is this the first time?

Jman14 · Sep 19, 2012, 05:11 PM

I have done it at Leawood since the 3GS every year, before then for the original and the 3G at the Plaza.

CDONNNS · Sep 19, 2012, 05:44 PM

I'm planning on going to the Sprint store on their campus. Any idea what kind of line I should expect there?

Jman14 · Sep 19, 2012, 05:52 PM

Is this the Sprint store, about 5 minutes up 119th? If so there release on 4S wasn't over whelmed when I went driving about 3:00a.m last year.

Yeah it's over by the Cheesecake Factory between Metcalf and Nall on 119th. Good to know, still probably need to show up early regardless.

Very cool I remember seeing quite the que @ Leawood last year, right?

Yes there was a quite a queue. I have camped out each year and normally by about 6:00 a.m, its' LONG!

About the same time the news teams roll-in, and coffee and bagels (or donuts) are served form a local company. It is pretty fun experience.

I was able to go back and pick up up on for my Dad, Saturday afternoon.. The had the exact model he wanted (16GB Black). I think they get additional stock that evening or early morning.

The awesome thing is that now you've got a Trader Joe's and a Roasterie for good food and AMAZING coffee!

RevolvingSheep · Sep 20, 2012, 12:34 PM

I can't show up at 9pm tonight. The best I could do is super early in the A.M. My college class starts at 8:00AM but I can deal with being slightly late to this one. I have heard the wait can be hours though, is this true for the Leawood store if I show up super early?

Thanks!

I'll be stopping by around 1030 on my way back from softball. I'll post up what it looks like then.

Jman14 · Sep 20, 2012, 10:09 PM

I would say there are approx. 20-22 people in line here in Leawood!

cfairbank · Sep 20, 2012, 10:13 PM

Hopping there is some stock left Saturday morning! Stuck at work till then.

Yeah just drove by, I would say about that ~30. I stopped by the Sprint store on their campus as well, no one was there. No one was at Best Buy on 119th either.

willmtaylor · Sep 21, 2012, 05:40 AM

41 action news was just reporting from the Plaza. People were lined up north up the street and around the corner. Anyone in line @ Leawood checking the forums/this thread?

3 total, glad I went the carrier route. A LOT less traffic, but maybe that means missing the "experience" as well.
