I placed an order with AC about 2 weeks ago - according to the UPS email I got the order shipped today (and should arrive Friday).
I'll need to fit it in the build que though - most of my building time right now is being dedicated to the Polecat Saturn V that I plan to use for my Level 3 cert

John Boren told me when it came out that the SLV is s SPEV....so when they're gone, they're gone. It uses up a bunch of balsa nose cones they were/are phasing out, including five BNC-50Js.

Sounds like I'd better decide about ordering the 1969. I have a 2157 that I am going to build for practice that's awaiting its chance to get on the workbench.

They sent us tracking numbers, but did the packages actually leave the facility as of 4:23 pm EST?

Mine shows as 'in transit' in Hodgkins, IL. So at least in my case, yes

Mine says it’s actually in transit. AC supply is approx. 300 miles from me so it will probably be waiting for me when I return from Raleigh.

I received my Estes Saturn V #1969 back in December.

What took you guys so long?

I ordered a case. Getting 40% off matters when you buy in bulk

It's "Apollo XI" not "Eleven Apollos"!

Last time I added it up, I'd built over 30 of the various Estes Saturn V kits. When I figure in others (e.g. Apogee and Sirius) it's over 40. One of the Estes Saturn Vs I built sold for $17,000 (granted, it had been autographed by over a dozen astronauts) .
I go through them rather quickly...
