It's a decade ago. But back when I lined up for the Wii at the Metro location. They told people to wait by the mall entrance (the one close to customer service where there's a parking lot). When the mall opened, it was a mad dash down the escalator towards ToysRUs. The store would then distribute some numbers for whatever inventory they had.

Hopefully they've improved the process. People were pretty aggressive going down that escalator, surprised nobody got hurt.
