Does anyone have a list of the Hobby Lobby exclusive Estes rockets?

RE Luna, may not be as bad as Mosquito, due to drag of the foot pads, less altitude. Mosquito was ballistic recovery (featherweight, yes, but still ballistic.) This one likely will be ballistic as well, but might be a bit slower, again due to dragging it's "feet." Given motor prices are cheap, doesn't cost much extra to make the first 4 flights on the smallest recommended engine.I just finished an ESAM 58 and a Luna Bug. The ESAM is an excellent kit and good sized for the price. The Luna Bug is a fun build, although I'm afraid it's a "fire and forget" type of rocket, because of it's small size.

It's a new thing, they only came out within the last few months.Wow, thanks. I just got back into Rocketry and had no idea they had exclusives.
I'll be posting this elsewhere, too, but we're postponing the launch to Sunday the 15th. Hope you can make it as I want to see what the excitement about this little rocket is all about.We will see at Saturdays CMASS launch.....
What’s the lowest recommended motor?We will see at Saturdays CMASS launch.....

I am curious how many people who lose Mosquitoes on their first flights use the 1/4A3-3t motor.I'll be there for a little while, I have something going on in the evening, so I'll have to leave a bit earlier. The Luna Bug isn't super special, but it does have a certain appeal.
The recommended motors, according to the face card are 1/4A3-3t, 1/2A3-2t, 1/2A3-4t and, of course the A10-3t teleportation device.
Anyone else have the experience that HL will not honor the 40% off coupon on these rockets because all of them have the "Your Price" stickers on them? Bought three rockets Saturday and all three were not eligible for the discount.

My nearest HL is over an hour away. I've gone to their web site hoping to order on line, but they do not show any of their exclusive kits.....
That’s a strange place to put the ad. It makes you think it’s going to be powered by 29mm (at least I did at first). But it flies on D’s and E’s, which says to me 24mm. And knowing that Hobby Lobby put all its 29mm motors on clearance just a few months ago means it probably won’t sell any 29mm rockets.
Maybe they are bringing them back. Oh, please beign back the 29mm so I can stop paying HAZMAT.
