Thank you for saying what I was thinking, better than I would have.Sorry Andrew, jump off the wagon now. You're' too young to start spewing hate in this way. While it may seem 'trendy' / 'en vogue', make up your own mind & post your own thoughts..
In general the Estes bashing in this thread is excessive. Although many of the specific complaints on specific kits are valid, to generalize that all Estes kits are crap nowadays is just not true or fair.
I do agree that the multi-language instructions are frustrating, although I've had similar problems with other companies' products as well (including the one I work for).
