Default Estes 1/70 Saturn 1B

Has anyone heard any more about the possibility of Estes reissuing the 1/70 Saturn 1B???
There was talk about it earlier this year.

I just asked my hobby industry insider and this is what I was told:

"Usually Estes announces new items in May at the NRHSA hobby show in Las Vegas. If they are going to release a 1/70 Saturn 1B during 2006, they would announce it at that time."

I had heard that they would be announcing that the entire 1971 Estes catalog lineup would be reissued in 2006.

What does your insider say about that?

He's wondering what kind of prescription medication you're on?

I don't know what the insider has to say, but I say it's time to change my pants.

If they re-released the entire 1971 catalog, I would have to buy one of EVERYTHING, starting with the K-29 Saturn 1B as well as a BOATLOAD of B14-everythings !
Then I would move onto the Little Joe II, Astron Midget, Scrambler, Ranger, Sky Dart, Cobra, A5-x engines, A8-0's, tons of S-Series engines, 1/2A6-0's, and B4-6's
