The iHobby Show starts Thursday in Chicago.

We've gotten some insight into a few things Estes will be displaying (Thanks Mike and John).

I hope the manufacturers and those who can attend the Show will take pictures and post them along with any information they may gather.

Is that it? or rather, is that all?

I hope it's not just another Nike Smoke and another V2.

I'm hoping for something that I would consider MAJOR like the re-issuance of the 1/45 Little Joe II or the Pershing 1A maxi-brute or the K-21 original Gemini-Titan.

Short of something of the caliber of those three kits won't excite me or be "smoking hot" as John Boren put it....I'm hoping for something really good but a Nike Smoke and V2 would NOT fit that description.

Does the market REALLY need another Nike Smoke anyway ? That thing has been made by like 47 different companies in the past, and short of the original "real smoke" Enerjet Nike Smoke from '71 to '76 or so, none of them are really a big deal no matter the size.
If somebody wants to make a "Nike" rocket, how about a reasonably priced 24mm sized Nike Ajax, Nike Hercules, Nike Zeus A, Nike Zeus B, Nike Cajun or other "Nike" variant that is not just a 4FNC special.

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, and HAVOC !

I was hopeing for maybe a 1/100 Saturn 1B.

Pictures, I want pictures.

Agreeing with you on this one. Wasn't there a presentation edition of the Nike Smoke from Quest a few years back? I would have considered that the final word on the Nike Smoke subject.
