Default More New Estes Kits for 2009

Posted with permission. Here is the new line up of Wal-Mart kits for this year. As with the Classic Line announced earlier, these are held up due to the CPSIA testing.

Wow! I must say, I'm impressed by those designs. They're finally getting back to all the great sci-fi designs they had in the '80s.

Did I read that right that these will only be sold through Wal-Mart?

Wow, those are really nice! I'm gonna have to get another part time job to increase my
modroc budget as well as figure where to display.

Where did you read that these will be sold at Wal-Mart? That would be super if true!

I was told this was the kit line proposed and accepted by Wal-Mart. I'll have to check and see if they will also be available at other chain stores, hobby shops, etc....

I believe it's more of a takeoff of the Centuri Spacemaster.

Looks more like a modification of the Estes Satellite Interceptor vintage kit.
