My walmart is a 24-hour store. I walked in at about 11:50 pm the day before book 5 was released. Probably about 10 people waiting in line....Of course I knew them all. By the time midnight showed up, probably 50 people in line (and I still knew most of them!...little Iowa town). Everyone got a book, some people got two.

Went back later in the day, and there were still a bunch of books...

I am not going to stress over getting book 6. Probably another late night town get together at walmart on July 15-16
