Default "Space Center Houston" model rocket kit from Estes

At NARCON Last week, I found this in the gift shop of Space Center Houston. I have never seen this kit before. I understand from some of my friends who have worked at Estes that if you are willing to order enough you can get a specially produced kit. Does anyone know of any other specialty kits like this that are out there?

Looks like this kit was produced in October 2016. Maybe John Boren can weigh in on whether or not he had anything to do with the creation of this kit.

I’m also wondering how many one has to order to be able to purchase a specially produced kit like this.

I was pretty amazed that, at the gift shop, the regular retail price was only $14.95. Nice looking starter kit and a great souvenir!
