They seem to be getting more involved after a long period of the "same old same old"

Cool kits early on, but it started to go bad when I noticed that my Custom Razor had switched to stickers from decals. To me, that means a lack of attention to detail, and it turned out to be a sign of things to come. The lineup got consistently dumbed down, to the point that I didn't even bother to check on the rockets when I visited the LHS. I do like what I've seen of late, even though the new Landviper is a bit different than the old one. I'm not going to bust Estes chops for that, so I'll do Custom the same courtesy.
