Semroc
Looks like eRockets is discontinuing a lot of Semroc kits. I counted nearly 40 kits that are being phased out.

I think discontinuing the entire SLS line and the Saturn 1B really stinks.

Actually, I think it will clear out room for more new products. In a successful business model you can't keep stuff around if it doesn't sell. I would imagine that if you really had a hankering for one of the kits, eRockets would still stock the parts, just not in kit form.

Yes, Randy has a business to run. Out with the old stuff no one wants, and in with the new. And there is a lot new going on.

I like the way it was ran by the original owners- nothing ever got discontinued, custom parts reasonably priced, etc.
Really wish it would have been possible for Sheryl to continue it on, but totally understand why it could not with Bruce's health.

I lost my Explorer (scratch built, before Semroc) and might replace that.
Might pick up a Aero-Dart, Hustler, Lil' Hustler, and Scorpion as well. Not that I don't have a metric poop-ton of unbuilt kits around, but the old Mini-Max kits hold a special place in my heart. My initial clone efforts helped Carl put together the Aero-Dart and Hustler designs.
