Amoeba Hollywood and Amoeba San Francisco use a menu system with our staff pulling RSDBF titles for customers in the morning. Customers who want RSDBF titles will line up outside in the morning and fill out their menus. If you don't want the limited edition Black Friday titles, you are welcome to come in the store and shop normally. Amoeba staffers will collect the menus in order and give customers a clip to retrieve their bag. It is very important that you hang on to this clip as it is how you will pick up your RSDBF items.

We will fill each customer's request for RSDBF items in order to ensure that the items are being sold fairly according to their place in line. Once the bags are filled, they will be waiting for the customer at the registers in SF & LA. Hand the employee your clip to claim your bag. You can go over your menu, compare it to the items in your bag, and put back anything you may not want at that time.

Watch this short video to see how the menu system works.

Please note: Amoeba Berkeley will put RSDBF releases on the floor and is not using the menu system.

Amoeba Hollywood will be open 11AM - 9PM on Friday, November 24. The Trade Counter will be closed all day, but will handle returns/exchanges as needed.
