I bought one during the Hobby Lobby clearance way back when (the clearance for the new product offerings and new pricing model). I paid $1.99 I think. It seemed like a good product to get for use as a glider power pod tube and nose cone. Decal available if anybody needs one.

I understand! I'm fortunate, I live in Colorado, so I stopped by Apogee on a trip thru Colorado Springs and bought the conversion kit there. Also fun to visit, since the lobby has every kit they sell on display (as far as I can tell, I didn’t ask). Several times I’ve seem something that surprised me — a kit bigger than I thought it was, or better looking, etc. The last time I saw the Semroc version of the old Estes Spaceman, I had to have it. I remember seeing it as a kid in my 1964 catslog, wanting it, but never did get one.

Say what?! They discontinued the Black Brant III?! But... but... but I only had one of those Estes #1293 BBIII kits! And it's a much older kit version based on a round in the older NRC livery that was distributed in the bag with the bright pink (fuschia?) header and face cards, from way back in the "Subsidiary of Damon" days! So, of course I had to get online and order the newly discontinued/OOP version right away, in my case from Canadian Rocket Store! It was just dropped off by the courier a few minutes ago, in fact; and I must say that with its full colour rendition of the newer (I think) NRC/Bristol Aerospace livery it's a thing of exquisite beauty! Will it ever get built? Nah, probably not... so maybe before the supply runs out altogether I'll have to order another one (or two?) to actually fly! Thanks for the heads up!
