So the story ended with a happiER ending than previously announced. The store employee felt terrible about the situation and asked the guy if he would leave one of the two and the guy left silver samurai/patch of course. So I get to pick that up tonight! But THEN, he checked their tru database and made phone calls to all tru's that got them in. This included MISSOURI, ILLINOIS, AND IOWA fyi. Only ONE pack existed and it was in Iowa. I am traveling to Iowa tonight (not for the comic pack, but for mother's day weekend with the in-laws :P) and will be picking it up along the way (about half hour out of the way, but whatever!) as it is on hold.
So this ending isn't ideal, but still happier than I left it a couple hours ago.
