[Reckoner]

Bob's Shuttle Bonanza has some excellent clearance specials this week

 

[acemcmac]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[swtethan]

i hear they have 0% financing and $2000 cash back this week

 

[yosuke188]

Check the FS/T. I think a couple people were selling one for a good price.

 

[rivan]

I'm thinking I like the classic models more, but the warranty just isn't there. And there's that o-ring recall I'm worried about...

 

[batmang]

LOL!

you should be more worried about the heat shield

Damn, I think my lego shuttle sets are older than 1997. But they're in very condition.

I don't know why you would buy a shuttle when a rocket will blow the doors off of a shuttle for way less money.

Yeah, but does it come with full support of mission control?

If they threw in a couple hundred thousand gallons of liquid oxygen, then that would be hard to pass up.

Don't get a space shuttle, they are horrible, unreliable, and a pain in the ass to fix. Go for the Saturn V Rocket instead, rock solid and guaranteed satisfaction.

 

[Atheus]

Seriously: when decomissioned, will NASA sell them? I bet Richard Branson would buy them.

Yeah, I don't think any of those blew up after they left the launch pad...at least not any of the manned missions.

[sunase]

If the seller doesn't list the manufacturer, then it is probably one of the Russian knock-offs. Don't buy!

 

[mwmorph]

Well the Russian Burans are nicely priced and decently reliable...

 

[Rubycon]

Funny you should ask.

The guy that owns these will probably get first dibs. :Q
