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!:eek::) And UPS tracking says it will be delivered tomorrow!:D

*And* they're located in my home town, St. Charles, Missouri.

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! :D

Unfortunately the Sat V is not in this package.:( They shipped one of the 3 kits I ordered(Super Neon XL)..The other 2 are still listed as 'back ordered'...Should be soon though..

BTW, UPS tracking lists origin city for AC-Supply as Earth City,MO..

I just visited the AC Supply website.

The main Estes product (with pictures) page says Saturn V available July, 2010

This Availability Page says August, 2010
