Default Der Red Max Discontinued

It looks like Estes has discontinued the Der Red Max kit (#0652).

It is no longer on the Estes website and a search turns up the kit parachute and other products using 'Red' or 'Max' in their name.

Perhaps it will return at a future date.

Christ, it's about time. Now the clowns can demand big $ for a saturated kit.

Oh.

Anyway, off to buy a dozen Red Max kits now that I know they will be worth $200 PLUS shipping each.

I should have stockpiled the Mega Der Red Max. Was $53.99 six years ago; now $250 (https://www.ebay.com/c/1801564267).

I’ve seen the Mega go for that much. I wish I’d bought some when Fry’s Electronics near me was selling them on clearance for $10 each.
