Must be near the end for this one.
Usually when they go on sale this deep, they aren't around much longer.
Grab it while you can.

Ordered me 2. Can't beat the price plus free shipping and like ghrocketman said we could be seeing the end of this kit for a while.

They must have put this one on sale after the Black Friday sale they just had; I did not see it for sale at that time.

That is true, but the email from Estes says it’s the “12 Days of fESTESivities”, and the Little Joe was the only item. A different item will be featured each day. With free shipping, I may be placing a LOT of orders. I forgot to order ornaments for grandkids on Cyber Monday when I placed an order. These sales with free shipping are addicting.

Oh, ok that's what it is. I've been getting those emails but have not seen the email on this one yet. Yeah, pretty good price.

Timely! I'd come home a couple days ago to discover my Little Joe had been chewed to pieces by our dog (even the Mercury capsule was in little pieces).
I figured I'd get another next time I ordered for AC Supply, but now no need to wait

Oh, and I ordered 4, just in case

IIRC, the two were expected to be available a few weeks apart. I'm still showing "pending" on my order, but I do have the Saturn V Skylab in that order.
