That is great news!

I do have one "minor" thing to question.

Skill level 2????

Their deturmination of the skill level thing has me baffled.

Heck the decals alone take a good 2 or 3 hours to put on! That has to be worth another skill level jump right there...oh well, That should be my only complaint

Yes I want two of each!

Cool Fan-Freekin'-Tastic!!!

This shows that, however short-lived, the Estes Forum Did serve a purpose!

I'm Due to get 'em both. Still Have an original O/C K-50 looking over my shoulder while on the computer. Guess I should have sold it when I had the chance, Ehh?

So long as they are water transfer decals!

So we can expect the metal fin alignment jig and B-14 motors...

Really this is great news--and an upscale to boot!

The original flies like the proverbial bat out of hell on a D21. The F12 and E18 will rawk in the 1350. I hope the release date "soon".

Without further adieu, here are the new releases coming from Estes...


Interceptor #1250

... and ...


Interceptor E #1350

Introducing the ESTES E - powered version of the world-renowned Interceptor model rocket!



Wow - these guys have all the appearance of getting serious. It's great to see Estes do this; it will be interesting to see how these "bring back" kits (can we get them to come up with something more palatable than "bring back"?) play with the non-BAR community. Will they sell generally, or will it be left to the niche that the BARs and the old timers occupy to make this program of re-releases viable?

#1350 is a re-use of the kit number for the old Black Hole Space Probe; it would appear that not only the kits are being re-released.

Scott,

Now that I've had time to digest this.... any chance the 1250 might show up in Launchables packaging for Walmart?

They'd sell a trillion of em.

Does anybody remember my response when Rocket Doctor kept saying on the Estes forum, "You'll *love* what we're coming out with?"

I told him, "When you say that, in my brain it translates to, (whispered) 'Interceptor.'"


Cheers,
