General advice

Possible things to ask if I call

how many premium units are you expecting? (bitch!)
how are you going to handle the line? (numbered tickets, place in line, etc?) For the 24 hour stores, is there a designated place to stand...?
is it one-per-customer, or is the first person allowed to buy the entire stock and post them on EBay?

Things to take with me
