Yes, the 2015 Estes catalog does exist. I picked mine up at a local hobby shop earlier this year. My understanding is that there will be a 2016 catalog.

I've had a 2015 catalog since February, and with a quick Google search I noticed that some websites still have them available for sale. By the way, I used to work for a distributor. Distributors can easily get catalogs from Estes if they order them. I would think you might start looking for other distributors to get your Estes supply.

Of course you can download the 2015 catalog from the Estes site, too.

down loading just isn't the same. That is why I will never get a Kindle.

Good point. And when I fall asleep reading, it's better to have a book crash to the floor, rather than my iPad.

Even though I'm beginning to come around to e-books, I agree there certainly is something about a physical catalog (and I did get a 2015 at a hobby shop in the area).
While almost all the Estes back catalogs (maybe all of them) are on the Estes web site I have acquired a few catalogs from my first rocketry period via eBay for that reason.

Me too. The one that escapes me every time I see one and bid on it is the 1964 catalog (Astron Cobra on the cover). That was the very first catalog I ever had. I want a real one some day -- I have a lot of fond memories of looking thru that until the pages were almost worn out. Sadly, they go for a ton of money when they come up on auction. My next most memorable was the first color catalog -- the 1966 (Mars Snooper on the cover). I did buy a really clean copy a few years ago.

The first one I actually remember having is the 1967 one. I did get a pretty good copy of the 1966 copy on eBay a while back. There were two nice ones in a "Flee market" lot that went for over $300 on eBay yesterday. I bowed out of the bidding at half that.....
(sorry for the thread drift)

Bernard, can you supply a link to that auction? I'd like to see what was in it. I enjoy bidding on mixed lots, but I somehow missed that one. Joe |
