5 People in Line as of now. I spy a SpaceX sweatshirt.

@raj_ventures I had a friend grab them, let me see if he can get more (no guarantees). I'll keep you posted. Any color preference?
@ntmichaud if you know anyone in line I would highly appreciate it. Color black for both or both blue if available, preference for black.
@raj_ventures @marcopetkovski @isaacnaor @ntmichaud Marco told me it's sold out. Know anyone who can check tomorrow, guessing machine will be replenished and location updated tomorrow maybe.
@ntmichaud Nate would you be able to purchase two for me and ship it tomorrow if it's restocked, I would really appreciate it man. I can pay via PayPal.
@raj_ventures They were sold out by the time I got there. I waited too late, haha. But if they do it again in the area, I'm going to buy as many as I can.
@raymondduke What time are you going? I'm looking for two blacks to be shipped to east coast - do you have paypal?
I'd be totally willing to pay double if someone could hook me up a pair and ship to the UK.
I live just down the street from the Venice Beach one - who needs a hookup? Let me know here or get at me on Twitter @marcopetkovski
This has to be the most unique product launch I've ever seen. Time for a trip to Venice Beach 😎.
@jackdweck Maybe someone in Santa Monica can help us out? Willing to pay someone to ship it to the east coast.
@jackdweck pure genius.
Apparently these vending machines "never seem to stay in one location for too long"
Where to next? Any predictions? SF tomorrow or perhaps it'll slowly move up the cost
@marcopetkovski what's the best way to contact you? Can't dm you on twitter currently
Reminds me of something I'd see in Japan! How long until these SnapBots become mobile and start making their own snaps?
This is a great example of the artificial control of supply + good marketing leading to demand generation - and to top it all of the downside risk of not selling Spectacles in large quantities is diminished. Neat @evanspiegel
I'm in Santa Monica. Anyone know how I can locate a Snapbot today? I want @Spectacles bad.
Hey everyone, the countdown has started on the snapbot website - I hope wherever it is next, someone can help me get 2
Anyone knows if this will be a US only thing or will it roll out in Europe as well? In any case, I want one who can get them and ship them? Willing to pay for it of course like everyone else here ;-)
Brilliant. I can't see these machines staying filled with product for too long so it will be interesting to see how they sort out keeping inventory available so that there aren't a bunch of yellow machines sitting around with out of order signs. Maybe when there isn't inventory the kiosk turned into an e-commerce hub?
This feels very Willy Wonka!

From their site and more info:
Buying Specs from a Bot is easy! When you find a Bot, press one of the larger circular buttons to virtually try on a pair of Black, Coral, and Teal Specs 😎 When you’ve decided what color you want, insert a debit or credit card to purchase.
Snapbots take about 10 seconds to process your transaction. Once you see the Bot’s mouth light up, take your Specs and you’re all set! Don’t forget to grab your receipt 😁
Pro Tip💡: Keep checking www.spectacles.com to find a Bot near you. ❌ marks the Bot!

Snapchat (now called Snap) continues to do things differently. Apparently they're distributed their new Spectacles via vending machines called Snapbots. You'll be able to find them located on this map.
@rrhoover I had a really hard time understanding what was going on here until I followed your Spectacles link.
@rrhoover I wonder what their role-out timeline looks like seeing that there's only one snapbot on the map now
@rrhoover Big fan of Snap's creative approach towards everything they do. Keeps people eager to know what they'll do next.
@rrhoover Agree, the roving Snapbot idea is absolutely innovative. Scarcity of product can turn from excitment to annoyance if they aren't careful. The absence of further locations and information is venturing into overhype territory.
