man, i am so completely put off right now.
called target at 8am and spoke to the dude in electronics asking him to hold one for me till i got in. made sure he knew i wanted the steelbook! he said "i have the steelbook in my hand, and will put it on hold for you in electronics"!! i was pretty pumped my steel was secure....until...
i get there today to pick it up. i check their assortment first and see it's completely sold out. so happy i have one on hold i thought to myself. that is until i got to electronics where there was NO FREAKIN STEELBOOK ON HOLD!!!! seriously, man, the dude even asked for my name??????? best i got out of them was 'well you can buy the amray". unbelieveable. so here i am without one, and will be stuck having to dish out twice as much for one on ebay, which i can't justify with my current situation.
utterly unhappy and just plain pissed off.
i don't normally go around 'quoting' myself, but do so only as a reference point!
when the above happened i was pretty down, man. just seems like so many things lately have turned to crud for me, and this was just another smack down. fortunately, i received a PM from
@jcm offering to snag me one from his Target in Texas that still had 6 of them.
i was pretty stoked that my interstellar steelbook dream might still become a reality. the next day he sent me another PM telling me he had it in hand, and just needed my address, which i responded with along with asking if he wanted a check or paypal for his trouble.
his reply to that was: Don't worry about it. I read your post and this is just my way of making the world better one small gesture at a time, enjoy.
to say i was floored is an understatement. just not use to having something like this happen to me. in fact, in my life its typically been the opposite. i've told several people about this and as I told JCM, his kindness has touched them all, typically illiciting big smiles and comments about how nice is is to know not everybody is out for themselves.
so a big time THANK YOU to
@jcm who took what was just another crappy situation, and turned into something special and spectacular. you've helped to right what was slowly becomeing a cynical ship, and i'm going to pay this forward by making it a point to go out of my way to be kind and helpful, so that in time it won't be me going out of my way, but just being kind and helpful, just like JCM.
and I could say this a million times and it just wouldn't be sufficient, but once again.....
Thank you, man.
the steel even when gloss it is not a great art!
@apsmith21 Thanks for the GB Andy! 
But most importantly, thanks for the Candy 
and for the kick ass HDN Certified Sticker!
