It's worth a try I figure. A Target near me got VOTC ROTJ in just last night when I went to ANOTHER Target instead... So I figure I can at least give it a go.
The other thing that might be worth trying, aside from just punching the DPCI# into the scanners (if they have the new ones) or asking a random employee with an LRT, is to go to the front CS desk. What I discovered was they can check inventory in the surrounding stores, down to the number in-stock. They can print out the list for you, and write the inventory count at each store next to their location.
I ended up having them print out like 12 stores, and I'd hit every store that had more than 8 in stock, on the assumption that either there were a lot out on the shelf, or there was an unopened case in back. When you're armed with that piece of paper, it forces them to actually bring the case out, since it proves you were at another store, know they have the case, and you can imply that the CS person sent you to THAT store under the impression you'll get what you want. Cheating, says JediMAC, master strategist, says I.
