Default Estes Space X Falcon 9 ad w/ price

This advertisement appears in my new issue of Sport Rocketry. It mentions the MSRP, and the fact that it is available exclusively online from Estes. I can only assume it will also be available from Space X online, and that hobby shops (both online and brick & mortar) will not have them.

And Boyce is willing to upscale/downscale the size of parts to whatever scale you would like, though likely with a reasonable upcharge.

I don’t have any great interest in the kit myself, but maybe AC Supply will have them for a little under a C note, depending on the discount given.

If you read my original post at the top, places like AC Supply aren't getting them.

Price seems a bit steep.

I agree with Earl. That is a lot of money for a rocket with NO style.
