As you maybe already know, but in case you don't, these pop up on eBay with a fair amount of regularity.

Regularly on ebay, but you better be prepared to spend about $250.00

While they are expensive typically, they can sometimes be had for under $200. And on occasion, well under $200. But no, they won?t be cheap anywhere unless someone just wants to be kind and let one go for considerably less.

If you're looking to build, you can save a few buck by going for one that's been opened.
Just check carefully to make sure all the bits are there .

Here?s one up for bids:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2353918527...k9SR_jp zcikYw

These Masters Series versions, though the same kit as the earlier versions, tend to go a bit higher in price than those earlier ones. But, ya never know sometimes.

Hopefully Estes is figuring out a way to get this one released again. Preferably at a lager scale.

If you are on FB, go to the Rocketry Yard Sale Buy, Sell, Trade group. You can post that you are interested in buying one. I have sold a lot of rockets on the group. There is a huge base of rocket enthusiasts on FB.
