Note that it, along with the Alpha VI, are the first Estes kits to say they are from Estes Industries, LLC. What's slightly interesting about that is that the sale didn't go down until after the date stamped on the header card.

I know now that the Langfords had intended to buy Estes back when Hobbico first shopped it out, before the auction was called by the court, and that is probably why they were the "stalking horse" bid. He said the auction was a "complication", so maybe it was assumed in March in China that 'Estes Industries, LLC' would be it. Or maybe there's some time warp technology we don't know about.
