Modelrockets.co.uk Has Some OOP & Vintage Kits
I guess this is the right forum to post this since it concerns "who has what?".
Not sure if any of you are familiar with this vendor but he's holding a few Eggspress kits for me. He also has a good selection of OOP & Vintage kits. To name a few: 2016 Explorer Aquarius 1988 Argosy Intergalatic Strike Fighter 1954 Starbird 2038 Alien Space Probe 1977 Geo Sat LV 2010 Star Rider Intersteller Courier (Can't remember last time I saw that one) He has 52 products posted in this catagory, all NOS New Old Stock. http://www.modelrockets.co.uk/shop/...hp?cPath=74_116 Anyone have any experience with this vendor. I just rec'd an email from him concerning the Eggspress kits. His name is Paul Lavin. He has some B8-5 motors in stock too but I doubt they can be shipped overseas.

He has several nice birds that I'd like to have, but I wonder about the exchange rate and shipping. Still, an Explorer Aquarius.........

Paul informed me in an email that he could ship up to four of the Eggspress kits for about $17 (£10) so every £10 price on his site is about $17 US dollars I also found this site for an easy conversions (as you can see I've been thinking about this): http://www.xe.com/ucc/ Pick United Kingdom Pounds-GBP in the first drop down and US dollars in the second, type in the amount from the site in the box on the left and it will convert for you. His prices look reasonable and it appears he's been in business six years from one of the banners on the site. I'm going to give him a try after I get paid on the 1st

Checking the Kit Lists... Scout III Blazer Reliant Micron ...Are all in RED, indicating that NO ONE has the plans for these anywhere on the internet. Great additions!

He also has the Astro and the Vagabond kits listed right now. The Astro is another of those few kits that haven't been scanned or posted to the internet. The Vagabond is a Centuri Astro-1 in a silver space suit...

I noticed that Vagabond Starter Set too. Like Scott mentioned it states in some of the ads that these are all NOS from a continental hobby dealer. Too bad we couldn't get to that dealer first and shake him down and save on some of the additional shipping charges He's holding a couple of Eggspress kits and he told me shipping on up to four would be about $17 USD and probably about the same for less than four. I don't think the new egglofter Estes is planning to release this year will use the same egg capsule and I already used the two I have to build an EnerJet Egg Crate and EnerJet 1340 so I'll probably get a couple from this vendor since these kits are thinning out at the auctions. I also noticed the 2231 fin alignment guide there that I used to have years ago but the price in USD is almost $44

Take a look on eBay. Some dude has about four of them listed, all ending on different days. I believe they're around $5. You may want to email him directly to see if he has more. I've seen this guys items in the past and he appears to be buying overstock/leftover stock from someone. Quote:
That's about what they go for on eBay now.
