There's no need for a countdown to Amazon Prime Day for a great model rocket deal as you can save 20% on the two-in-one Estes Tandem rocket set.

Save 20% on the Estes Tandem two-in-one rocket set when you get it on Amazon.

What's better than one model rocket? Two, of course! You can save 20% and get the lowest price we've seen this year on Estes's Tandem-X rocket set ahead of Amazon Prime Day. This is great value and if you don't want to risk fluctuating prices or stock issues, now is the time to cash in. For your money, you get two rockets, easy-to-assemble model parts, parachutes and the launch pad system. These rockets vary in maximum altitude, with the Crossfire rocket able to soar up to 1150 feet.

Amazon Prime Day is fast approaching; it kicks off on July 8, and for the first time ever, it will be a four-day sales event, running through to July 11. It's the online retailer's annual Summer sales event where we usually see sizable discounts across a huge range of products. To make the most of the event, you'll have to sign up to be a Prime member to gain access to exclusive offers.

This Estes Tandem-X Launch Set deal is enough to warrant not waiting for the event to start, though. For your money, you get two rockets, a suitable launch set, parachutes and easy-to-assemble parts for the Amazon rocket. The two rockets can reach a projected maximum altitude of 600 and 1150 feet, respectively. You will, however, need a suitable engine, recovery wadding and batteries, which are sold separately.

Key features: Two rockets, a launch pad, parachutes and easy-to-assemble parts.

Price history: Before today's deal, we've seen this model rocket set retail for as high as $57, but we haven't seen it this low this year. Over the last few years, we've seen it retail for as low as $30. So, this deal is actually good value ahead of Amazon Prime Day.
