Lightbulb 'Improved' Estes Stingray on Ebay

Gotta love this one! An Estes Stingray that has been 'improved' by using a nose cone that looks like a plastic wall anchor glued to a plastic coupler! Apparently this improved the centre of pressure.........

That's some the lamest sh** I've ever seen. One dollar for shipping? What's he going to do, flatten it and put it in an envelope?

Actually, I'd give him a dollar for that coupler.

So this is for Rocket Catch? Hours of fun with your friends - simply point the Rocket at the opposing team and see if they can catch it! Extra points if the burn is still going!

Hmm, I've been looking for a replacement for mine ever since I treed it in Akron 12 years ago. Why not go for the improved version?

Considering what you'd be getting if you bought it, I'm surprised the tip wasn't yellow....from a Preparation-H tube.
