I have not checked Belleville’s bulk pricing. Their shipping is a bit high, but I think it’s the best overall price I’ve seen.


Belleville's pricing on bulk packs of Q-Jets is the best I have found.
About $30.00 off of SRP.
Too bad shipping is $31.00.

I ordered a bulk pack of C12-4s and C12-6s from Belleville.
They were shipped September 27th via USPS.
After October 13th there was no more record of them.
USPS can't find the package. My local postmaster can't find it either (It might be in Montana ).

The shipment was insured and in process for a claim. I wonder how long that will take.
Next time I want to order Q-Jets I will just order them direct from AeroTech/Quest as I had done in the past. No problems with shipping from Utah.

I don't need more rockets, but with the fanstastic deals, couldn't help myself - I stuck with kits I don't already have, for just over $50:

Executioner (Tried for 2, only 1 was in stock when I ordered)
Red Flare - (Quick E12-burner build)
Odyssey
Expedition
Twin Factor
Hex-3
Space Twister

Freebies: 2 gliders, Ornament, Catalog

Now what the heck do I do with all these?

Ordered Sat 11/28, Received Thu 12/5, The Red Flare looked sort of festive, so built it that evening, and flew today on an E12-4 for our Christmas themed launch. I usually go for builder type kits, but it was fun to do a fast turn for a change.

My thinking exactly, I was wondering, are the spirals bad? I got a flicker from the earlier sale and they barely show.

My order arrived today with three freebies. I was glad to see it on the porch because it wasn't due here until next Monday. I got two Executioners (spare Maxi Alpha parts) and two Astron Explorers, plus more tubes and pro series igniters. I really like the gold retro 3 fin ornament.

I found an Executioner at a Hobby Town for $6,missing decals. So it will get kitbashed, and now I have a complete kit. Should have bought more than one. Conquests? I have 3, so I ordered one more. I may bash one just to get the ram ducting. Other buys were the Astron Explorer, Nike-Apache, and a Centuri.

I just cannot resist deals! I was going to place another order on the last evening of the sale, but the couple I wanted were out of stock. Oh well, I’m happy with what I got.


I did this Conquest a few years ago. It's very sleek and elegant and it's skill level 5 for good reason!

I was thinking the same thing, the decal from Stickershock is $9. I wonder if the fins the same?
