Estes Kit and Starter Kit Lists 1961-2024
Thanks to Don Altschwager for continuing to update the Estes Kit List and Estes Starter Kit List on his end. I hadn't updated the versions that were on Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe since 2008. We now have a complete list of kits from 1961-2024 thanks to Don. You can check them out here:
https://www.rocketshoppe.com/kit_lists.htm The old lists I had up that showed kits that had plans online can still be found at these links: https://www.rocketshoppe.com/info/e...it_list_old.pdf https://www.rocketshoppe.com/info/e...it_list_old.pdf

Thanks! |

I see that the list includes the recent Hobby Lobby exclusives.
There are a couple of recent re-releases that are available through AC Supply — the Nova Payloader and the Guardian. They are sold in bulk kit form (no face card) though they are available singly. eRockets also sells them singly. They have different catalog numbers that are down in the 1700s like a number for bulk kits (1716 for the Nova Payloader, 1717 for the Guardian). This number is separate from the 12-unit bulk kit numbers for these. The 1716 Nova Payloader uses a different nose cone than all previous incarnations of that model and returns to waterslide decals like the first release vs. the stickers of the other two releases, though the new waterslides use the artwork of the sticker version, not the first water slides. I don’t know about the Guardian as I’ve not researched that one at all. Anyway, should these be included? There was also a boxed version of the Nova Payloader. I can’t tell you what its catalog number was until I get home next Monday.

Thanks, Bernard. I'll get those added. Any idea as to what year they came available? Was it 2020?

Nope. 2018. I got some in July of 2018. And Steve is right, despite my nitpicks, it IS a great resource to have.

I have been specifically collecting starter sets from the 60/70s. I have recently turned up 7, including the first year Alpha set. If you need help here, please let me know. There are more I haven’t photographed yet. Dan.

Thanks, those are great. Can you tell us the catalog number that goes with each pic (should be KS-2, KS-7 etc stamped on the side). Does the orange pad model have an orange controller? That is likely the set I got as a kid. |

Hi, yes I’ll be glad to. Please bear with me, might take a few days. While I’m disabled, my wife just beat cancer, but has some protocol radiation left to do. I’ll be back. Thanks…….
