Default NCRBE Orbit

(Continued...)

So, why did the Orbit Launch Set not go into production?

When it became time to put the Orbit Launch Set into production Estes had signed the licensing agreement for the Star Wars products. All efforts at Estes focused on making the Star Wars product line investment pay off.

Also, neither Sam's Club or Costco picked up the product but the reasons for their decisions is unknown.

These two situations sealed the fate of the Orbit rocket kit and it's launch set.

I would like to thank Matt Steele for providing all the pictures of the Orbit model after I was unable to locate my set of parts and for answering my questions on this product.
