As much as I want to support my local store, I think the deciding factor will be that online I can get it by Tuesday, but in store not until Thursday, and I'm going away that day so I won't have time to pick it up. If they had it in stock I'd most likely get it there now. I am usually a supporter of local businesses and I hardly ever buy online, which is why I'm so conflicted over this. But this has been a particularly difficult item to find and no one around me seems to have it. Looks like Amazon wins again :(
