I've read that they update the store on the first tuesday of each month

 

But what time is that EST?

The store in general gets updated every Tuesday (with the exception of some titles with non-tuesday releases), and yes the PS+ Instant Game Collection is the first Tuesday of every month.

 

These store updates never have a fixed time, its whenever Sony gets around to finishing the update. HOWEVER, the general consensus is that Sony America updates that store region usually around 5 - 6am EST. You may hear other estimates, but that's what I've heard. I've never bothered to stay up myself for anything though.

the Plus games will show when they do the normal store update whatever time that is in your country .. normally 5pm ish for UK

In the US, the store begins updating in the afternoon and is usually fully done by early evening. So just check throughout the afternoon.

I was just able to download Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris for free. It doesn't show up in the PS Plus section (they haven't changed it yet) but if you search for the games that are meant to be free manually, they should be ready to download. As I said, I just got Temple of Osiris and that was shortly after midnight UK (GMT) time.

They are showing up for me on the online store when I search for them

In my experinece they update on the first week of each month on 4-7th day between 10.00am to 12.00pm. I guess i could be wrong never really paid much attention. Rarely they have a game I'm dying to get.

I checked at 3pm EST and it was updated

 

Limbo is interesting - although it's going to be a real challenge to 100% this game

SCEE and SCEA are separate stores (and for the time being, companies as well).  SCEE usually updates in the morning for those in Europe (~GMT), and SCEA usually in the afternoon or early evening for those in the US.  How that translates to your particular region depends on where you live.

 

I'm in the US, west coast, and SCEA has been updating more consistently around noon these days, but in the not so distant past, sometimes I'd have to wait until 5-6pm before the store would update.  Compare that to SCEE, where in my time zone their last update has went live before midnight (around 7 or 8am in Europe).  Sadly though - in my experience at least - that's the only thing SCEE does well.
