Wanted Estes Star Wars kits

[Antares JS]

My daughter and I watched Star Wars together for the first time a few months ago and she became obsessed with Darth Vader. I made the mistake (?) of telling her that Estes used to make Star Wars rockets, and she got all excited about it.

So as an activity for the two of us to do together, I am hoping someone has an unbuilt Estes Darth Vader's TIE Fighter they can part with. I also might be interested in other Star Wars kits, depending on which kit and the price.

...and not a crazy shipping price, too.

I have this that I got off eBay years ago when I was in a frenzy of collecting old GSE (there was a Star Wars Electron Beam) that I would likely let go for little more than the cost of shipping it:



I suppose to be fully compliant I'd have to pull the six motors out of it (three B6-2s and three C6-3s) before shipping it. It seems back then Estes called it a "launch set" even though it contained motors. Nowadays that term means a pad/controller/kit(s) without motors and "starter set" means motors are included....FWIW


added: looking inside this I find a black Electron Beam but NOT one with the Star Wars logos, and the parachute doesn't look to be anything special, despite what it says on the box. The kit does seem complete, though.

I'm not really interested in RTF models, but thank you.

Not terribly surprised, actually. Perhaps you can grab (or have grabbed) the kit that @MarsLander linked to.

That particular one was already gone but I found a different one that I bought.

I'll leave this open for a bit in case anyone can offer me an X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Star Destroyer, or any other Star Wars non-RTF.
