Yeah, I remember that one. It is NOT shrink wrapped however. It has some tape sealing the tops and bottom of the box, but it is in far less pristine condition. So, the $895 price is in the 'loon' category for sure.

This more recent one ($395) is certainly way pricey, but if one were looking for a 'pristine' Estes Saturn 1b kit still shrink wrapped, it might be the ticket. I'm not looking for that kit personally (I've got two, though neither are shrink wrapped, and a third very early version when it went more by the name 'Uprated Saturn' back in the latter 60s), but if I were I would not mind spending the bucks for the proper specimen.
