It's Worth Repeating... The Estes Bring Back Wishlist...

[MALBAR 70]

Semroc makes a better model of the Mars Lander than Estes did and it is available now.

I have one! Unfortunately, it's in need of some repairs though.
Estes hasn't offered the Mars Lander in a very long time. It would be nice to see it in the catalog again.
Maybe a 24mm motor mount in the re-release?

While I am fond of the Mars Lander, I would much rather see the Mercury Atlas reappear.

im pretty sure it has already been mentioned, but the phoenix (#1380) would pretty cool, maybe scaled up to 48"-60" tall, mebbe this time around thicker tubes...it WAS kinda fragile...

i agree about the original shuttle kit. That was my first introduction to rocketry, it was the whole shebang, launcher, 3 engines, shuttle all in one box for $17.99 (about 40 years ago) from ad in boys life (scouts, duh) magazine. It hooked me.

I'm really getting to like the aesthetics of the Little John.

It's an older thread, but in case Estes (John ) is listening, here's my list:
V2 Maxi Brute
Maxi Alpha
Colossus
Quasar (white fin can and nose)
Mini Brute lines (especially the old Mini Bertha with the "hippie" decals)
LTV Sout
Astron Streak
Fat Boy

Enerjet 1340 fin can

1/2A6-0, B8-x motors

Enerjet 1340 fin can

It's my understanding that they discontinued using BT-56 body tubes.

How about the Bandit but up scaled to 24 or 29 mm motor mount. I think PS 11 size should be about right.

It's my understanding that they discontinued using BT-56 body tubes.

I am so glad I bought a few extra Eliminators during the Hobby Lobby 50% off sales back in the day.

Also, If I understand Correctly; Enerjet Trademarks and designs are now owned by Aero-Tech/Quest who will have the Nike-Ram out in summer some time.

Starlight is planning on releasing a BT55 based Bomarc sport scale kit around the end of June early July. Along with a couple more kit.

Dear Estes leadership: Thanks for the great tour of the “brainstorming” room at Estes HQ in Penrose, Colorado on May 26, 2023. The sticky notes and other items on the “bring back” board need to be updated with the suggestions above! The fan base speaks!

Oh bugger....an Estes tour. If we hadn't just gotten back from TARC, my wife and I would've come to NSL. I would've loved to have seen the "brainstorming" room. Who led the tour?
