Estes already went through reissuing classics, including a bunch of Centuri classics, in 2010. I suspect that this signature series thing is something a little different from the usual BAR wish list. I can't speculate about what the never before seen stuff might be. But the "lesser known classics" I imagine might be those kits that one can look back and definitely see that it set a milestone for Estes, or exemplified an era or certain period in the company's history. All that - and it has to be something that might sell.


Classic kits that might work well with current Estes E and F black powder motors:
A kit from the late-60s mini-max days of Centuri
A Pro-Series kit from the early 1990s - Estes first "pro series"
A maxi-brute from 1977 - a maxi-Alpha anyone?
