I think that just because some people tell you they were there, does not hold a place in line for them. If the center does not allow anyone to line up until 1 hour, then that is what time the line starts. I would love to walk to the front of the line at Best Buy and say I was #1 on Tuesday so I get to go in front of you. I say hold your ground. You can also ask the Target manager how they will be handling this situation. It will at least start them thinking if they have not already.
