The BB XII or the Great Goblin would be my guess.

I guess the “something big” email was about waiving HAZMAT fees on engines. Maybe.

Yes, I also received that email. Like you, I'm not sure that was the 'next' special thing or not. I guess we'll see in time.... Earl

The Estes Email Announcement of the BBXII
For those who did not get the email, here is basically what it said:
YOU ALREADY KNOW.. IT IS HERE! They say patience is a virtue.. Well if you have been waiting, the wait is over. ENTER-THE BLACK BRANT!!! This beauty is a scale of 1:14 with an expert skill level and will reach 1,100 on a F15-6.. This rocket is the bee's knees, but I guess I probably don't need to remind you of that. Enjoy early access to purchase the Black Brant as a part of our Rocket Rewards family 😊 The first 100 purchases will receive a free Black Brant Poster! Scroll down and take a look at all that glory👇🏻 TECHNICAL SPECS Skill Level: Expert Scale: 1:14 Projected Altitude: 1100 ft on F15-6 Length: 54.6 in Diameter: 2.22 in Estimated Weight: 11.5 oz Fin Materials: Balsa and injection molded plastic Nose Cone Material: Blow Molded Plastic Recovery System: 24 in nylon parachute WHAT IS THE BLACK BRANT XII? Originating in 1957, the Black Brant was created as a result of the research conducted at the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment (CARDE). CARDE’s initial purpose was to research and test anti-ballistic missile systems and long-range communication. The Black Brant XII is a result of this development. It is a four-stage system that consists of a Talos 1st stage, Taurus 2nd stage, Black Brant 3rd stage, and a Nihka 4th stage. The Black Brant XII’s design allows for it to carry anywhere from 1000-pound payloads to a 500km altitude to 250-pound payloads to an altitude of 1400km. The Estes Black Brant XII model rocket is a 1:14 scale replica that stands a staggering 54” tall and features detailed a paint scheme. The Black Brant XII model rocket will take your rocket launching journey to the next level. Its unique design allows it to rise to greater heights than your average rocket, giving you the remarkable experience of watching it soar through the sky just like the real thing! -------------------------------------------------- Earl

I think $90 is a bit steep for MPR anything.
