…and gone. Didn’t think it would last too long.

That same seller has a few other Semroc SLS kits listed.

Al was looking for one. I sold him some parts to help him build one. Maybe he got it. I managed to get an Andromeda kit from that long list of Semroc kits. Been looking this kit for all four of the evers.

It was gone about 30 minutes after you posted. 97% of the kits he's selling are Dayton kits. I'm looking for Knightdale kits to complete my collection.

Yeah, I hope someone here was able to get it. The seller also had a Lil Hustler as well, but it too is gone.

Make the same offer to them, and the set will probably be yours. I have a couple of these sealed sets, so I certainly do not need another.

He offered me $40. I took it just now. I’m not sure why… but I did. 😀

Never knowing just what kit someone may be looking for, this seller has listed five FSI kits and one lot of FSI nose ones for sale.

Not my listings nor do I know the seller.

Here is a complete early 1971 Estes Alpha deluxe starter set with 'yellow' Port-A-Pad, the first color the pad was issued in. This set has all the extras such as paint, brush, and modeling knife. I have one like this, also complete, else I might grab this one. All items appear to be sealed.

Seller asking only $65. The sealed Alpha kit would go for probably that much. Probably won't last long.

I'd have jumped on that if I'd have seen it, both for the Alpha and for the Porta Pad (not to mention a still-to-be-assembled Launch Control System.

But here I am less than 30 minutes after your post, and it's gone!

I figured it would not last long, but was hoping someone here might be able to get it. It was certainly a good deal and maybe I should have grabbed it and then offered it on YORF for the same price, just so someone here would have it. It did look pretty much like a 'time capsule' set. I've got one just like that which I got off ebay under similar circumstances several years ago. I suppose Estes churned out a bunch of those in the early, early 70s and some of them given for gifts (birthdays, Christmas, etc) just were never assembled or used by the gift recipients.
