If you have a Sam's Club nearby they apparently have the Noritsus as well, although I've heard on dpreview.com that the Costco prints are better quality.
Regarding the 100,000 people, the best time to go is 1/2 hour before close. The Costco will be devoid of people and you can run gleefully between the aisles.
