A familiar, almost traditional rite of passage in Alihabara is the Queue. Long lines if people, often waiting overnight for a chance to purchase some rare commodity.
We often see lines of people in front of every kind of shop in Akihabara. They are fervent otaku waitin to buy rare goods, tickets to idol concerts, games and software, even ramen. It's said you are not a true otaku unless you brave the lines.
This line is for the K-On! Ichiban Kuji I mentioned before that is about to go on sale.
Have you ever queued for more than a few minutes for something?
