Admittedly, I'm not as avid an Estes kit collector as I am Centuri, but I find myself scratching my head when I see this kit come up on ebay and draw this level of attention.

This kit was from the mid-to-latter 80s originally, right? I have one I got as a freebie from Estes in the late 80's....I opened it at the time and did not find anything super-interesting in the kit itself. Not bad of course, just not sure what the draw is on this kit to bring in this kind of bidding.

Can someone enlighten those of us who may be somewhat insensitive to the exact collector's draw on this kit? Here's the current link on this one...it's a bit over $300 right now with something like 33 bidders:
