I passed the same deal at a local HL a few months ago. Now the HL will not carry Trumpeter ships. Talk about a Homer Simpson "Dow" moment. They also had the 1/350 Lexington for $60.
I also still kick myself for never ordering a Heller Victory when Model Expo was selling them out for $50. A month after they sold out, the kit shot up to $200 by all the other vendors.
Note to self, if no intent to build, get it anyway, can always sell it later and maybe make a few coins to buy supplies or something.
