MartinP Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I was in my local Barnes and Noble today to get a book I needed for school. I found the book and decided to check out the Lego shelves to see what they had to offer. I was very surprised this visit, because all the sets they had, were retail price except for the Series 10 and 11 CMS, which were for $4.95 each. Than, I looked on the bottom shelf, and I noticed that there were two 7065 Alien Motherships. These sets have been retired for about 1 year now, but I am wondering, is it worth it to buy these sets? The price for them is $59.95. The retail for the set is usually $59.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eightbrick Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would avoid it, It's not even worth 40 dollars, and five cents off isn't a very good deal. Barnes and Noble usually has a lot of the unpopular retired stuff like Atlantis, Non-ship POTC, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Thanks for the input guys. I won't buy these for investment, but they will probably make a good gift for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafrog Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I wish I had had better experiences with B&****** overall - every time I order a "deal" from them, they immediately cancel it. Maybe they just don't like me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowillsw Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 B&****** is terrible with their inventory systems. There are always old sets that will pop up out of the blue. I always check in there every once in a while. Their flaw works to your advantage and you'll see some garbage but you'll score some gems every once in a while.

Now, I will just have to check every once in a while to see if they have anything good there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
