I had the Estes Saturn 1-C which cost 7 or 8 dollars less than the Saturn V. I
alway wanted the Saturn V but at $36 it was more than I could afford at the
time.


That would be Saturn-IB, not C. And the S-IB was MORE expensive than the
S-V, since it was a larger scale. The 1:100 S-V was 9.95 when it first came
out, the 1:70 S-IB 12.95. The 1/242 semi-scale S-V was $2.50 but a common
"free kit" with your mail order.

The 1:100 S-V has been re-released a couple times over the past decade. Last
list was around $80 +/- some change. If you want bigger, better, and of
course more expensive, Apogee (apogeerockets.com) has 1:70 S-IB and S-V. And
for less bux Saturn Press (
http://members.aol.com/Satrnpress/saturn.htm) has
a 2" Saturn-V that just came out for $50 featuring nice parts laser cut by
"robots with ray guns" for $50, and Dr. Zooch rockets (klydemorris.com)
offer 4 different Saturn kits for $19.95 each.
