Fans flock to Starbucks at opening time for Hello Kitty merch, with one spending $376
The early bird catches the worm, as the saying goes.
Or Hello Kitty, in this case.
Fans were spotted queueing for newly-released Hello Kitty | Starbucks collectibles at the coffee chain on early Sept 10 morning.
Stomper Cappuccino visited Starbucks' Canberra Plaza outlet at 7.30am and saw that there was already a short queue there.
She recounted: "I thought I was early but there was already a queue even though the store just opened. Most were buying the merchandise, not the food or drinks.
"I was a bit stunned when I heard the barista telling someone that their order was $376.10."
The Hello Kitty | Starbucks range includes collectibles such as mugs, tumblers and a plushie, with prices starting from $24.90.
Most of the items are already sold out on the Starbucks Singapore website at the time of writing.
The Stomper previously encountered similar hype with the Starbucks + Miffy Collection when she noticed a crowd at the same outlet and one customer paying $220 for her haul.
