The shuttle, $49.99? No way. At least $69.99, probably more. It's way to big
to be that cheap.

The photos from the German toy fair showed the OV-103 (Space Shuttle
Discovery) set number as 7470:

If you look at 7470 on Marz Distribution they call it the "Delta Rocket" but
have no picture and a suggested retail price of $49.99 each ($99.98 for two):

If you look at 7469 on Marz Distribution they call it "Space Shuttle", again
with no picture, but the price is only $29.99 each ($89.97 for three) which
seems way to low:

My guess is Marz Distribution got the two descriptions reversed and the
OV-103 will really be $49.99.  If so, this is a great price judging by the
pictures!
