Default Cygnus Probe Ship/Cylon Raider

RD,
Wondering if you or anyone else could explain the background of what happened with the two following kits that were never released by Estes:

1) Black Hole Cygnus Probe Ship, #1351 in 1980 Estes Catalog
and
2) Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider, #1313 in 1979 Estes Catalog

The Cygnus Probe Ship had a supposed available date of June 1980 (but never was delivered), The Cylon Raider had no available date, my 1979 catalog at time of printing stated "do not order at this time, available at a later date."

Any info would be appreciated such as were protos made, were there any photos so they could be attempted to be "pseudo-cloned", why they were cancelled, etc.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
