A Great Discovery in Lowes (I hope)

I found this little guy in Lowes home improvement store today. I'm not exactly sure if it's a Pachanoi--I don't have much experience with them. I attached two pictures of it. What do you guys think? It looks too close to be another type. It's a little dirty. They don't know how to treat them well at the store.
Also, can anyone identify the cute little round one? I don't mind having a few more plants in the house.

The spines don't look right to me. I'm pretty sure that's not a Pachanoi.
This one however is a pachanoi


I have no clue about the other one.

AWWWWWWW, Man... I looked in Home Depot and Lowes now. I even looked in my local nursery and there is nothing! I have one more nursery I can go to...
Well, I can always get a cutting and root it.

good luck on your quest. If you stay devoted to finding an active cactus, you will eventually get your hands on one.

try target, that is where i have had the best luck. although right now, the targets in my area dont have much for cacti, they discounted them to get rid of them to make more room for xmas trees. you can try them, but if theyre out, definately try back after xmas is over.
