Estes Big Foot and Estes Mini-Pad
Does anybody know what years these Estes products were produced? Can't find them in my catalogs and couldn't even find the Mini-Pad using Google.

The Big Foot came out with the Star Wars models back in '78 I believe.
The other one was in the 76 catalog I believe, but not certain. Earl

Your picture of the Mini-Pad is the second version.
The original release of the launch pad was with the Vampire Firing Line Starter Set circa 1972-73. This version had a different launch controller (no continuity light).

And was last seen in the 85 catalog. It was included in my first launch set with the 1906 Sizzler. kj |

Then there was the short-lived Estes Maxi-Pad, which achieved stability thanks to its unique adhesive strip.

Big Foot came out as a direct result of needing a bigger more stable pad for the Maxi-Brutes.

If anyone needs either of the parts shown above to repair a Big Foot they are free..........just pay the postage.

Ditto for the Mini-Pad..........looks like it's complete except for the two short legs and the launch rod (I have the blast plate).
