Apogee sells some of the original kits as they are produced by Sky model rockets.
It's interesting to see the difference in prices for essentially the same parts model!

Star Trek Enterprise ($25.99) is the same as the
KISS Rock and Roll Over ($25.99)
Star Trek Klingon Bird Of Prey ($23.49) is the same as the
KISS Destroyer ($23.49) is the same as the

Star Trek USSS Reliant ($16.79) is the same as the
