A model rocket of the Blue Origin craft that sent Amazon.com AMZN founder Jeff Bezos to space will soon hit the market.
What Happened: Estes Rockets is launching a 1/66 scale model of the New Shephard rocket that took Bezos and three other passengers successfully to space.
The rocket is priced at $69.99 by itself or can be purchased for $109.99 as part of a full starter set that includes a launch pad, controller and a pack of single-use engines.
“Estes is proud to partner with Blue Origin to provide a piece of history that inspires kids to dream and imagine,” the company said.
The New Shephard model rockets will be released on November 1 and can be pre-ordered now. There is a limit of five per customer.

Why It’s Important: Mattel MAT released a remote controlled toy version of the upcoming Tesla Inc TSLA Cybertruck.
There is huge demand from collectors and fans of companies for models of vehicles, or in this case spacecraft.
One of the most talked about aspects of the New Shephard was its design, which is something likely not lost on people purchasing this version of the model and its price point.
