Perhaps I can help you get one. I’m sure you’d want a new one in the bag ? I have several but go with outfits. You want the complete outfit with wire, clips etc., right ? Don’t guess you’re interested in a built/ used one ?…

Give me the name of the set and when it was available, if you know.

Didn't see the Thunderbolt kit (part of a starter set). Kit #1429. Came out in the late 80s early 90s (my daughter had it as her first kit). You have it on your page of plans BTW (https://www.oldrocketplans.com/este...429/est1429.htm)

Scott, it's called the Interactive Rocketry Set. Contains a Camera Capsule with film and also an Altitude Capsule (same one that Estes sold which just free-fell to the ground and timed the descent to get an approximate altitude). As with other starter sets, this one contains a launch controller, launch pad and engines as well as the film for the camera. Do you want a photo?

Joe

Sorry, I don't know years of production.

No need for a picture. I'll get it added this week. Thanks!

One of the Estes Interactive Starter Sets is up on eBay right now. These are actually pretty scarce............this is the first one I've seen listed in many years. Not mine, nor do I know the seller.
