Snapchat's new camera-equipped glasses are officially the hottest, hardest-to-get tech product of the year.
The Snapbot vending machine that dispenses the glasses showed up in Santa Monica on Thursday morning and the line to buy them quickly grew incredibly wrong.
Here's a look at the queue, thanks to a video tweeted out by Los Angeles-based web developer Scott Buscemi:

It's not clear when or how Snapchat, which recently changed its corporate name to Snap, plans to make the glasses more broadly available. Here's a rundown of the vending machine's road trip across the US so far.
