Someone looking to pay a premium for this particular kit won't bat an eye at that shipping cost, especially if they've purchased it for 'collection' purposes and intend to keep it unopened.
It's Canadian, but otherwise, yes, it's stupid high.
That's one of the way people get tripped up on eBay: reasonably priced item + exorbitant shipping and handling fees.
I've seen items listed for $0.99 + with small print shipping cost of $59.99+.
That's one concept to which I could never relate - "collecting" baggies of rocket parts for the sake of keeping them on the shelve.
I know people do that, with many items, but I just find the whole concept super-nutty.
To each his own, I suppose.
Unfortunately not. The new release is a 3" dia. airframe. But, Estes does sell the NC and body tube separately, although the NC is currently out of stock. Estes did promise more NC's will be produced.Don’t forget... Estes has “re-released” this bad boy. Not sure if it’s the same dimensions as the original but it might change peoples thoughts on original Rockets. I found a original Partizon in a small hobby shop / sewing shop my wife drug me in not far from here (Bixby, OK) - bought for sale price of $15. Built and flown.
I figured dimensions would be different. I bought the VanderBurn a while back - it’s correct scale I think. I know he’s waiting on nose cones to make more kits. I will probably pull the trigger on the new one once it’s out jyst to check it out.Unfortunately not. The new release is a 3" dia. airframe.

I have the original decals I didn’t use for this kit. &100.00
