I'm trying to figure out if some of these are built kits or the kits themselves. Would be nice to have pictures.

Agree, needs clarification.
There is one I'm grabbing for sure if it's a kit.
Built, not interested.

$89 for a built up far side?

That seems a bit high to me.

I have an unbuilt kit with the blue face card I’ll sell for a lot less!

1284 Space Shuttle 1 $49.00
Sprite 1 $11.00
1227 Estes Honest John 1 $10.99

I put an order in I guess I will see what I get (if anything).
When I can go back to the website under a different user and put the same items in my cart I just bought I kind of wonder.

Belleville has been in business for decades. They may not have a good online system, but they won't try to screw you if its the same people. Well, in the past the shipping charges screwed me, but I got my order.

It's supposed to be an original built Farside-X, but not worth that $89.
Built kits are worth about $0.00 to me unless containing unavailable parts.
3D printing has eliminated a lot of that, but then you have to mess with a LOT of plastic sanding.

If you receive the Space Shuttle as an unbuilt kit in good shape, then you got a great deal. Those always go for $150+ on the auction site.
