16 pages of instructions...

This one is a must buy for me.

After reading through those instructions... F--- me. I know I'm getting one at some point and that is going to take me quite a while. Over-the-winter build perhaps?
I'd be interested in seeing what modifications would be beneficial. Upgrade to 29mm mount perhaps? What needs to be strengthened to handle a G?
Now that I think of it, waiting until October might have been a wise marketing decision as that's the earliest that people start shopping for Christmas presents. Build up stock during July-August-Sep. so that they don't run out during the Holidays.
The Estes SATURN V is listed on the Estes website, moved to the "What's New" listings.
Yes there are new injection molded fins in this release of the kit.

In related news, SaturnV the forum member is back too, going by the name of "Foff".
Any word on any future scale kits from Estes?
Confirmed...and here they are.....
I think you're in it. My #2157 kit has been sitting for a year now - since they're available again, I might have to crack it open after I finish my Black Brant.
Chris Michielssen has the definitive Saturn V build on his web site, https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturn VI'm hoping someone does a build thread...

This version has a few differences from the last release, but Chris' build should be a great start.
