This is being heavily advertised in the UK and Ireland: http://www.build-solar-system.com/subscribe.html, so I decided to take a look. You get 52 weekly magazines that will regurgitate information that's available elsewhere (quality of writing and presentation unknown) and the parts for an orrery 313.47 Pounds Sterling. That's more than US$600 or 413 Euros at the moment.
So is it such a good deal? I don't think so. It should be possibly to find a perfectly good orerry elsewhere, pre-assembled, functional and decorative, for somewhat less money.
What do you think?
