New Estes X Kit Ad

[Initiator001]

Estes has a new two-page ad for their X-Prize kits.

I had to scan each page by itself. I don't have any software which can combine the pages to make it look like it did in Hobby Merchandiser magazine.

I will post each page separately.

Here's the right page.

Hmm...well, just imagine if this ad would have come out in the '60s. We may never have had a space program!

Interesting choice of words - "...they fly off the shelves as well." They might as well have said "They'll burn a hole in your pocket too!"

So tell us Jim, when does FlisKits hire a model for an ad? The only thing missing in this picture is the chic holding a Deuce. Ok...that does it...don't make me Photoshop that in there!

EDIT: Upon closer inspection I see that this ad is geared towards distributors/vendors and not the individual consumer.

My first thought was.....I wonder if that's Christine?

Hot babes in rocket ads... It's a GOOD thing!!

All you need is some discipline to focus your eyes on the Rockets.

"There were rockets in that ad?"

Rockets and cute women..

Both are uplifting...

"slaps himself"

Since I was not into rockets in the 60's,..... was this the kind of Estes ads in BOY'S LIFE?

wow - things have sure changed with Estes marketing!
I about fell over when I saw the model in the ad.

no, there weren't any models like that in Estes ads of the 60s!

Not sure I agree with the marketing strategy, but it's GREAT to see Estes putting out interesting kits again.
