New Estes Saturn V at AC Supply
AC Supply has the new Saturn V listed at $67, and the availability says "late July". Looks like you can order -- place on back order. I did not order, I've got a 2157 I bought 10 years ago. Would like to find out if the new ones really have anything different, and they probably do, so I'll order later ...

Could not get your link to work, but I did go to AC. Put 2 on backorder, so I guess I'll have to wait.... What a great price, too!

Good lord!
$67 is the best price I've seen so far. And I *really* need to update my favorites list of rocketry vendors. I keep neglecting to look at certain ones, like AC Supply and others, for the new Estes kits.

I fixed the link in original post -- it is same URL as in the named link, but only seems to work if standalone.
Also, I've ordered several times from AC Supply. Excellent service. And they carry almost everything from Estes, near as I can tell..

Placed an order yesterday for one and already received an e-mail saying the package has been shipped! And UPS tracking says it will be delivered tomorrow!

You may have the privilege of being the first YORF member to look into the new kit and evaluate it. But the first one to post pics will be the "official" winner! Greg |

Got my Super Alpha and an Alien Invader yesterday. Y'all didn't mention the slick little catalog AC Supply sent. It's very nice. |

Since the first 50 were delivered at NARAM we should see posts soon from iPhone owners, shouldn't we?
It is nice to see the new Estes staying focused on the hobby as well as on whatever merchants they still can get. Here in CA they have tried different outlets over the years such as Broadway department store with the Citation series, Michaels, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Big lots (presumably for overruns), and others. Maybe the solution for the loss of traditional hobby outlets and the lack of interest by toy retailers is to try a new direction. How about Home Depot and a co-op like Ace Hardware, that way the cross sales of tools and finishing supplies justifies any seasonality of the line which is always a problem for mass-merchandisers.
