Those prices are extraordinary, but I bought most of the ones I wanted in the big blow-out sale earlier in the year!

My unbuilt kits fill two 66 quart containers.

Jeeze, John, should we be worried? Estes isn't going all-RTF or something, are they?

Nope, no blasphemy here. I have just been buying so many kits old and new to replace the 100+ models that I lost in a fire. I have many kits that I want to build and spend a lot of time on my rockets. I build 3-5 models a month and fly 10- 30 models a month I fly with 2 clubs here in South Florida, Yes I collectible Kits But all and all I like to build and fly.
My frustration is I don't have time to spend on a web site making selections and then find that there is no way to check out.

Some of these are favs of mine that I already have; I've bought three Eliminators and two Air Commanders because I like to fly them high and I lose them, and a few such as Long Tom and the Flutter-By are already OOP. RTF's are not for builders.

I checked out via PayPal, so hopefully the whole transaction goes through. Mom just asked me what I wanted for Christmas yesterday. What a coincidence!

Ditto! I had purchased several of them 4-5 years back for that very purpose, but at these prices I got a handful more.

The D-Region Tomahawks were all gone though...
