Oh, I thought they always replenished during the day. Never mind, I changed my other appointments, so I'll be there tomorrow morning. Feeling lucky! :D

Dear Anfang: I should have listened to your suggestion. I went there today at 3 o'clock, and waited for 4 hours!! OMG, if I had known, I would not go, but by the time I realized, I was already in line for one and half hour, so I couldn't give up. The 90x90 is the craziest section, it moved really slowly, people say that you are only allowed ten minutres, but I look at my watch, they only let around 20 people in every half hour, or 20 minutes, so the line was moving extremely slow. And people was getting really impatient and the line wasn't in order, it was a little chaotic.

pretty99, are you sure they only allow 5 90's per person? I took 6, and they were going to let me, but I gave up one at the last minute. I asked at the cashier, and they said you could buy 10.

So anyway, hope the situiaton would be better tomorrow.
 
You're welcome, my dear Juss, I did not go either last June. I too went last winter, at something like 11:45, and I had to line up for around 15 mn. 1pm is usually the best moment. I did this for the 2012 June sale, and directly entered without queuing up 1 mn! ;)

Oh my, the situation has really changed a lot. Wondering if it's because it's they first day. My back was killing me from standing so long. Even though I am Asian, but I must say, some people just don't respect the rule of lining up. They keep pushing and pushing, and tried to cut in line, and gotten into hugh argument with the security guard. As I was lining up for 90, two chinese women tried to break the black line, and run over to the 90 section when it's not her turn. The security guard threw them out. And also when I was waiting in line to check out, two women in their middle age also try to cut in line, and made me and the French lady really angry, but the security guard just wouldn't do anything about it.

When are some people going to respect lining up in line, and not cutting.....

Me too!!! My back was killing me after standing for so many hours. It's a good thing I left my bag with them, so that I dont have to carry so much weight on my shoulder. Yes, they did allow me to put 6 into the envelope. I wonder if I was lied to by the Asian next to me, as I couldn't speak French, she told me it was 5 limit. But I asked Hermes, they said 10.

Did you go in the morning? It's so crazy even in afternoon, glad I didn't go this morning.
