Aloha Heidi!
You can ask Hallmark to see if they will transfer a lamp from another 
store to the store nearest to you.  But might want to ask about how 
being a franchise might affect your ability to get it. I saw one at 
the Hallmark in mall I work at (Ala Moana Shopping Center/Hawaii, 
sorry,  I don't the phone number w/ me now) but noticed that wasn't 
in the mall nearest to my home.  I didn't know if it was because one 
ran out or if is was the fact that the franchises were owned by 
different people so they order different things.  Also, I was talking 
to a Warner Brothers associate and she told me that Hallmark, Barnes 
and Noble,  and WB are going to have very different things because 
that's how they wanted it merchandised.  There will be very little to 
no duplication of product. So far on my island that seems to be 
holding true.  Even with the Bott's beans. WB had them but it wasn't 
the one with the weird flavors in the red pouch.  The Sweet Factory 
had them (unbelievably it was 5.99 for that little thing!!). I am 
fortunate that the mall I work in has WB, Sweet Factory and Hallmark 
and the mall that I pass going home has the only Barnes and Noble on 
our side of the island and another Hallmark for comparison! *Sigh* so 
many places to feed my addictions!
The only thing that no one has right now and I would love to have is 
a golden snitch antenna ball! Wouldn't that be cool?! I think that I 
will make one on my next day off!
