Bill,

Shrinkwrapped versions were selling for $400+ on the late 1990's so...

I know of one manufacture who is working to re-release the 1/45 in the years to come but we will just have to wait and see.

Estes is RUMORED to be working on a 1/40th - 1/45 Saturn 1b so there might be fall out from that into the LJII arena.

Again, both are just rumor/speculation but I believe that ALL current manufactures are aware that there is a lack of large scale kits at the present time. The issue is that the economy is bad and it doesn't lend itself well to selling larger and more expensive kits ... or does it?
