Looks like the Skylab is pre-order too. It shows a $9 deposit or pay in full. It says they expect to ship late October or early November.

Intetesting ... the early info talked about inclusion of the parts to build an Apollo-Saturn, in addition to the Skylab parts. No mention is made of this, and the box art does not show it or mention it.

I guess I'll be hanging on to the two unopened 1969 Saturn V kits I still have - I was all set to put them on ebay figuring I'd replace them with the new Skylab kits, but if they don't include the Apollo parts... Maybe we can get Estes to put together a separate kit with just the parts needed to turn the Skylab into an Apollo S-V. Hint Hint Hint...

The other intriguing thing about the info in the "coming soon" pages is that it looks like Skylab S-V is set up for 29mm motors - they call out the E16-4 and F14-4 as recommended motors. Hmmmmmmmmm.....

Yep, I knew about that two or three weeks ago with the listing from the rc-plane store (which also didn't mention the Apollo parts so i figured something was up).
