It should be "FORCE" not Corps as FORCE has a more proper MENACING tone to it.

Estes is probably using "Space Corps" because they already own the name, as the Estes Space Corps already existed in the late 90s.

Is Starship Octavious a bad guy starship?

Will Starship Spidey come and save the day?

Will Spidey's first mate be Gwen Stacy? Mary Jane Watson? Betty Brant? Felicia Hardy?

As noted somewhere else the Green Eggs is on the Estes site now. And....eRockets is selling them individually.

I have one that is structurally complete (Titebond Molding and Trim glue fillets drying now). I took a few pictures along the way. I could make a build thread if anyone’s interested.

Not a peep from the WB attorneys. Good.


On a related note: not a peep from the Keurig/Dr. Pepper attorneys when Estes released the Orange Crush. (Also good.)

I'd like to see those pictures please. Very enterprising of eRockets to break up the bulk pack.
