Thanks for giving us some teasers there John!

Cluster Model kit: I would like to do at least one kit since we now have the Pro Series Launch Controller.
THIS would make me so unbelievably happy!
I was hoping to see a re-release of the BT-55 Bomarc, not necessarily the BG version.
I built a non glide version of this about 7 years ago and it is sitting in my office at work.

Since the 808 Keychain cameras are so popular, how about a capsule nosecone designed to carry the camera. something with a hole to peek out, and easily loadable on the pad so you can turn the camera on just before flight?
More Scale: There's more to come
I would think it would be possible to order up a cartonload of the 808 cameras, take the guts out of the keychain shell and put them inside some kind of plastic fairing which could adapt to fit almost any BT size, and build a similar fairing which could hold an altimeter.
I suppose we're not too many years away from reasonably affordable smartphone apps which could transmit or download video and other telemetry in real time (or within minutes after landing).
Another thought - is it possible to extend the 13mm casings to 2.75 inches? Not for all the T motor line, but to add a small 13mm B motor, and maybe move the A10 to the longer casing so you could add longer delay A10 motors. An A10-5 or 6 would be awesome for contest flying!

Here are a few items I can comment on.
More Scale: There's more to come
Upscale old kits: YES. in most cases this might be better then a simple bring back.
Higher Skill Level kits: For many years Estes didn't have any skill level 4 and skill level 5 kits, now we do and there are more to come.
Orbital Transport type model: I've got two in testing.

Well these four certainly make me happy. Now I think we need a new thread to see just which kits we'd like to see upscaled. I'd suggest aiming for scales appropriate for 29mm motors.
Thanks, as always.
A3-6T : We tried, can no longer get 6 seconds of delay in the case with the black powder available
