Default Another Estes PSII bring back.

I got an email from Estes that there’s another PSII kit being brought back for a limited run. PLEASE—-let it be the Nike Smoke!

I agree with you that the Nike Smoke would be a great bring back. We know they already have parts for the Leviathan, so that's my guess. The Argent is my second guess... I wish they would reissue the Maxi Alpha (not the Maxi Alpha III).

There was a silhouette shown on an Estes Twitter post. It looked like the Leviathan.

Silhouette does look like a Partizon. Even the paint scheme is the same.

I'd like them to actually bring out the ones they ANNOUNCED nearly a YEAR ago.
Namely the BB XII and Great Goblin.
I think the amount of time it takes them to bring a kit to market is ABSURD.

Another "limited run". I'm beginning to smell a rat. IMO I think Estes is using this tactic to ensure a sell out (get '-em-while they-last fears).

Yet the previous "limited run" is still available...

I kinda doubt anything devious is going on. These probably ARE limited run kits. They're also visually boring 3FNC / 4FNC kits for the most part. Like Jeffy said - bring back something fun like the Nike Smoke, or go back to Pro Series I kits like the Impulse, Maxi Force, and the 4X24mm Patriot. I think those would generate way more interest and would likely sell out for real!
