Just an FYI: The Estes Customer Service Form is notoriously unfriendly for people outside the USA. If you can't give it a US state, and a US format telephone number, it will not process your form. :rolleyes:

Sent a written request, thy frown upon call to customer service for catalogs, they like to leave the phone lines open for those seeking assistance through customer service.

I contacted Estes directly through both web site and through phone. The catalogs are, now, not expected until the beginning of May. They're hoping for sooner though . . .

BTW, in previous years, everyone knew what was coming out ahead of time - this year they're stating that marketing hasn't let the cat out of the bag. Does that sound accurate, in your experience?

They had a late start for several reasons, change in employees for one, and, information should have leaked out, because distributors and hobby shops get advanced notice of new products coming out.

I know that several items could not come out due to trademark problems.
As I had mentioned previously, the designer of the night flyer rocket has left, and long ago Rougepink left.

I guess they were also told to keep a closed lip policy?????
