SF merch popup and FAQ ⬇️
How early to get there:
I got in line around 8:30 and the line was about 80% of the way down the block. Apparently a girl got there at 4:30, more folks at 5:30 and so on. By the time the pop up opened it stretched down a second block and was starting on a third (not sure, hard to see that far).
How long the line wait was:
I waited from 8:30-11, they let people in a few at a time to maintain crowd control and there were some stanchions towards the front. By 11 we got in and were able to begin shopping. They opened the doors at 10 sharp.
What was available:
All the merch from the online shop I believe, and then a new lighter, brown zip up, the teddy bear lipgloss holders that had the new rem butter balm in them only in the red shade. There was also a dw anniversary shirt/hoodie and the yes and socks I believe?
New vinyl variants:
New color vinyl variants for all albums but most if not all were the standard versions except for ES. The only different album cover was ES which had the lenticular 3d cover of the floating and blue picture, the others were the same. There was a sample petal vinyl and htimylm 7” vinyls.
Pricing:
All the pricing was pretty steep for some things. The zip up was $100, the teddy bear was $56, $35 for shirts I believe, vinyls were all $30ish to $50ish? The keychains were $10, the yes and gloves $25 I think
The inside of the pop up:
Most of the store was dedicated to merch on the walls or counters. There was a sectioned off area with a ton of boxes.
Restocking:
The staff were constantly restocking the merch, there was a good amount. I don’t know if it’s till supplies last, I forgot to ask bc it was so chaotic :( hopefully someone can answer this for us.
Bonus details:
They gave plastic bags labeled with est and ag on them in blue which was cute and there weren’t any photo ops or rem beauty things which is expected but people took pics outside with the signs at the window.
