I had a similar experience getting my Baroness. One other person, a lady there for her husband, got there before me. Each of us walked away with a Baroness, and a promise from the Target employee that there would be more figures on the pegs on Aug. 27.*
(*There weren't.)

Once we got inside, sure enough the first person in line was headed to the toy section just ahead of me. The only figure on the shelf was a Scarlet so I found an employee and asked nicely if they had any figures not out yet. They went in the back and checked for us, by now there was 3 of us waiting by the Joe section. We started chatting about what we were looking for and just waited. When the employee came back out, they had a box with 3 cobra troopers, 3 beachheads and totally unexpected 2 baroness. My fellow toy hunters John and Don reached into the box, and each grabbed one of each and then a huge thanks to John, he let me have the Baroness since he already had one. By the time we had our figures a few more people showed up looking for Joes. I love when you can go into a store and just hang out for a few minutes with fellow collectors, and it wasn't about flipping things on ebay, it was just about collecting the figures.
