I actually looked it up and the price depends on the size of the engine, if the boys are using B6-6 engines (a common size) they run $8.99 for a 3 pack, so 650 thousand would run just over $2 million. Of course that’s if they can get that many rockets, Amazon only has about 14 3 packs in stock.
It seems odd to me that the clerk would ask “how many” before asking “what size.” As there are so many sizes of model rocet engines, the size they want should be the first question asked, rather than how many they want.

Like Calvin has 650 thousand rocket engines in his back storage. Give him a break, boys!

I haven’t shopped for model rocket engines in years, but would $10 million actually cover the cost of the engines?
