Well to me estes could simply reproduce the entire 1978 collection and i would be very happy.  |
For a kit to be successful for Estes it must sell 5,000-10,000 units per year.
That's the level where price breaks for components and profit meet.
The Pro Series II line failed because the Hobbico management expected those kits to sell 5,000 or more units per year. Those kits did not so those products were cancelled.
