Brittany Fletcher, who said she waited more than five hours, explained why it was important to buy some T-shirts.

"It's not one of a kind, but it's rare. You're not gonna see the average person walking down the street wearing Pablo clothing," Fletcher said.

Not everybody waited that long.

Raymond Ngo met up with a friend who helped him out by picking him up a T-shirt (along with a second shirt for himself). Total price for the two: $130.

Those prices had some buyers griping about the quality of the merchandise.

Mohammed Khamis, who spent $1,000 on merchandise, complained about the manufacturer of the shirts — Gildan, which also makes much less expensive lines.

"I'm not going to lie. The thing he has to fix is the Gildan. ... C'mon man ... charging me $90 for a sweatshirt," Khamis said.

The first store opened earlier today in Sydney, Australia. Other cities include Los Angeles, Toronto, London, and Berlin.

Items for sale include a $400 military jacket and a $50 baseball cap.
