I saw a boxed Quasar go for $301 on eBay a few years ago. Yeah, that would require quite a few lawns mowed.
My first and forever my favorite, I wish Estes would consider re-issuing it. The recent Alpha VI came with red metallic plastic parts; it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to make them silver instead. I'd be happy to clip the fins myself.
I have made a couple repros myself with Alpha III's and spray paint but since Gordo's ALPS printers died I've had to make my own approximation of decal wraps with chrome Monokote and MacTac with mediocre results.
