Sometimes it really is about luck and just being in the right place at the right time! Glad you got what you are looking for. It is just too bad that from an outsider's perspective this story looks like (or ends up being on Facebook or where ever) "saw a Target employee saving a fresh case so s/he could give their buddy a chase to flip later". While it is sad and unfortunate that this does happen sometimes, we should be happy for each other that a lot of times it probably is just a case of us collectors being in the right place at the right time. Or when someone has a few of an item in their cart they are trying to grab a few for their buddies who couldn't make it out.
Maybe that's naive of me to think but it's better than trying to think everyone is out there trying to screw us.
It was a pleasant surprise because, as you said, more often than not you get the “we can’t find the box” come later and boom you check brickseek and all gone.
