This has to be the most unique product launch I've ever seen. Time for a trip to Venice Beach 😎.

@jackdweck Maybe someone in Santa Monica can help us out? Willing to pay someone to ship it to the east coast.

@jackdweck Grab me a pair 🙏 (I can do like $140 max)
Josh Muccio
@jackdweck pure genius. Apparently these vending machines "never seem to stay in one location for too long" Where to next? Any predictions? SF tomorrow or perhaps it'll slowly move up the cost

@jackdweck where in Venice are they? 😜

Snapchat (now called Snap) continues to do things differently. Apparently they're distributed their new Spectacles via vending machines called Snapbots. You'll be able to find them located on this map.

@rrhoover I had a really hard time understanding what was going on here until I followed your Spectacles link.

@rrhoover I wonder what their role-out timeline looks like seeing that there's only one snapbot on the map now
Pedro Wunderlich
@rrhoover Big fan of Snap's creative approach towards everything they do. Keeps people eager to know what they'll do next.

@rrhoover Agree, the roving Snapbot idea is absolutely innovative. Scarcity of product can turn from excitment to annoyance if they aren't careful. The absence of further locations and information is venturing into overhype territory.

5 People in Line as of now. I spy a SpaceX sweatshirt.
Honey Raj Varma
@ntmichaud are you able to get me one? can pay :)
Nate Michaud
@raj_ventures looks like you got it figured out. If not let me know!
Honey Raj Varma
@ntmichaud Nate I need two, will pay you for it. Line is rather long and hoping you can help me bro.
Nate Michaud
@raj_ventures I had a friend grab them, let me see if he can get more (no guarantees). I'll keep you posted. Any color preference?
Honey Raj Varma
@ntmichaud if you know anyone in line I would highly appreciate it. Color black for both or both blue if available, preference for black.

Love the launch strategy - unique for sure. Curious to see how quickly resellers start hawking these on Amazon/eBay.

@ekaterina_kharitonova @robertcedwards thanks for that as I'm writing an article about their gamified launch :)

Reminds me of something I'd see in Japan! How long until these SnapBots become mobile and start making their own snaps?

Wish I was in Venice Beach 😭

The next few weeks of my life will be spent refreshing spectacles.com to see if there is a bot anywhere near AZ. Well done, Snap.

Startup Notes
@mat_sherman Someone should create a notification app "when spectacles are near me"

Snap hints that you may not find the bot in the same location for too long, gamifying the very idea of buying them: "Snapbots are our very own vending machines that dispense Spectacles and never seem to stay in one location for too long 🌎" So, if you know someone in Santa Monica... might want to ask them to buy you the color you want before they disappear! They are $129.99 and include a nifty charging case.
