Hello Kitty Blowout Sale

My friend and I came at 5 AM to line up for this on Saturday morning because I knew it was going to be crazy. I came to the one in Costa Mesa last year and was hoping it would be at a bigger place with larger rooms, and you know what. it did!
This sale took place at the Fullerton Marriot next to CSUF. At first, they let us sit inside for about 30 minutes and then told us we had to wait outside in the cold. So the 15 of us or so had to wait outside for the remainder of the time until 9 AM. The line kept growing steadily longer and longer. Parking wasn’t an issue for us because we came super early.
I liked how they brought in small groups and explained the rules to us. We never felt overcrowded. This is great because it allowed us to not feel claustrophobic or pushed. Cardboard boxes were given as we entered to the right, and you know, I filled that box to the brim! I really enjoyed this sale because I collect toys and this was my one mission. I was able to snag a surprise bag too. My wallet is considerably empty now because of it, but I got lots of things for 70% off. I can’t complain.
I love Hello Kitty and am glad to see it becoming so popular! You can never be too old to collect these things.
Thank you for being so organized and efficient!

At any given time there are 50 – 100 people in line. Only small groups are let in and you don’t feel too too crowded while shopping. Well organized. Ample parking. I would recommend coming early and bringing your own large bags. They give you cardboard boxes, but that is a nuisance to carry. Good luck!
