I have a 1/32 scale 15th anniversary Apollo Command Module.  Also, I have 
found two unopened 10th anniversary LM's complete with "Moon Surface Base".
I guess they are something of a collectors item. 
I payed $35 for them two years ago.  The original price on the box was $7.

Currently I'm not aware of
any Apollo Mission kits above 1/200th being manfactured today.  I would
be VERY interested in an unbuilt Saturn V kit (which I think was 1/200th scale)
in case anyone has one collecting dust.  A foreign company called "Heller"  
makes 1/200th scale CM and LM kits which you can get at the Smithsonian Air and
Space Museum.

But what I really want are 1/32 models of all the probes!  I have paper models
of Voyager and Galileo but the company doesn't make a Viking which would be 
a great model.
