There is no question that Shrox's designs are truly unique and original, and that they are well-deserving of all of the accolades given to them.

I'd call it more "Andromeda-ish", as were his designs for FlisKits (Alien8).

As to the Solar Flare, compare to Flis' Corona.

Are the MIRV and Fracture (what kind of name is that?!) kits single stage or multi-staged?

OK, Roy - let's give this new guy a clue: "Hey, Bill! It's obviously NOT the same rocket!!"

Of course it isn't. The Estes rocket is obviously the more experienced father!

Now these should grab some (much needed) attention! They well-deserve some "attaboys" and pats on the backs for even daring to introduce something genuinely craftsman-oriented like Daedalus and Lancer.

Someone obviously had some strong(arm) influence to get these kitted...

Would love to have been a fly on the wall when this lot of proposals was dropped on the table!

That would be cool, but the $21.99 price seems about right for a rocket the size of the Icarus.
Also, where would the upscale ping-pong ball come from.

The MIRV & Fracture look like they have dual body tubes at that lower junction. A two stage cluster maybe?

With those names, maybe the sustainer splits into multiple parts in some way. It looks like it has 6 fins and 6 sides....

Some of the images look computer generated which is disappointing. Has nobody at Estes built one yet to take the photo?

They all look very intriguing though, with great potential. And that Lancer is pretty sweet!
