I just spotted this on Estes' site. Yet another new, builder kit coming from Estes - the #7249 Expedition:

It looks like this one actually uses BT-70 tubing. When was the last time Estes produced a kit that used BT-70 (my favorite size)? It looks to also use the recent HoJo molded cone.
Next, Nike-Apache! Also looks cool, though unfortunately too small in diameter for a JL CR to fit. Looks like a nice entry-level scale model (skill level 1):
And! The neat little Airborne Surveillance Missle returns!
But wait! There's more: a 2-stage saucer, the Twin Factor!
In other news, Estes appears to pushing the release of the Saturn V kit back to late July. AC Supply's site shows August, though...
