I wonder what time people will queue for I hope the majority don't queue till around dinner, is the Trafford normally busy on apple launches and do they normally get a good amount of stock being a big store

The stores pretty big now after the extension back end of last year so I can see them having a fair few iPads
Not been to a launch before but I do hear at the iPhone 4 launch they were giving out free doughnuts and coffee. That's lunch sorted :)
 
The stock is arriving tomorrow, and there's more than enough to go round.

By the way way, should they "run out" there will be more available on Saturday morning. Just in time for another attention grabbing queue.

Keep your cool kids, we won't be disappointed.

Haha what time do you think u will have to queue to ensure you keep cool I can't come back saturday as I'm 2 hours away
 
I'm thinking of getting to Trafford centre around 7/8pm, hoping the queue will have gone down by then and I can get a 16 gig black model. Really don't want/need the iPad 2 (I have an ipad1) enough to queue for hours to get one on launch day.
 
Going from personal experience of the TC queues, there'll be a dozen hardcore nutters there at 9.30- 10. There'll be a slow trickle until 1pm. Then you'll find the serious queues will form from 2pm.

All staff are working and they can really shift the stock. So don't panic.

Pointer has the best plan, works every time.
 
mmmm

me and the hubby are gunna get in line about 2pm ish, I would of qued much earlier but as im 39 weeks pregnant (now thats a true apple fan :apple:) it may get uncomfortable , I should really start looking for a portable chair lol! (and toilet ;))
I want the wifi 64gb or 32gb in White, with lime green smart cover :D
 
I will

Looks like I'll be heading to the Trafford centre too. My plan was to queue up 930/10 as it's simply impossible to know what time the queue is really going to get huge so prefer to be there early. Anyone up for queuing together so we can take toliet reals and grab some food..?

Hi.

I'm planning on getting there for about 1pm but not queuing straight away as I have a macbook to collect after repair. I'm up for helping with toilet breaks and lunch etc.

Mark

Edit. Just noticed you said you're getting there at 9.30/10 so I can't exactly jump into the queue with you if there are people behind you.

Anyone else up for the toilet break and food break help around 1pm?

Hi Guys,

I'm planning on getting there about 1pm. Happy to help anyone with toilet/food breaks. I would go later 7/8pm but I'm going out ;)
 
Hi i will be at the trafford centre apple store got a buddy coming with me aswell were gonna get there as early as we can but im a hr / hr and half drive away so not sure what time we will be there but will be happy to help with Toilet breaks & Food Run's with people around us -

im gessing most people will have iphone's / other smartphone's,

we should all log in here and post "im here" on this thread then shout out "im here" in the cue then we could check to see who out of us has arrived
as the day goes on & on & on & on...

just a thought to make it a bit more intresting to pass the boardum away

its cheaper than getting t-shirts done or buying red carnation's! ;-)

Good idea. I should be there around 10am but queuing around 12pm. Will post on here once there. Twitter might be a better option for those that are on it - my usernames same as my name here - Totalkharnage.

roll on tomorrow :)

I will be there about 0930 - 1000 (I think that is the opening time of the Trafford). I will make myself known by some method. It would be good to have someone to cover 'breaks' and return the favour. See you there. :)
 
Phoned Trafford centre earlier and they wouldnt even tell me if I was worth travelling 90 miles for if I made it in good time :-(

Yeah but in their defense, if they said do it and you got there late and were at the back of the queue and didn't get one, you would be blaming them for telling you to go. It's up to you whether you chance it.

Me, I am going to chance it and pray I get one.
