I was too late and didn’t get one. As for the Crossfire ISX: before the BBIII was re-introduced I would kit-bash the Crossfire into the BBIII (using Gordy’s decals.)

I was up early, and noticed it before the email was sent out - it wasn't interesting enough to pull the trigger - and it would just sit in a box for years. Had it been something like a limited edition chrome Quasar, I surely would've picked up a couple!

Agree. Not very interesting to me either.

I did not do an exhaustive search to see if there are others.

I knew I should have gotten one when I saw the link. Clone build for me as those prices are stupid.

The JimZ site now has the plans.

Yeah, those bids are pretty high…and the auctions aren’t even over yet.

I do hope that the majority of the kits sold by Estes went just onesy-twosy to those who wanted one and not snapped up 10-20 at a time by a relatively small handful of folks who just want to ‘flip’ them on eBay.

I think the design is kinda silly, so I'm happy to see fanbois massively overpaying for them. Just wish I'd thought to buy a bunch and flip them to make some APCP cash. But then, I never had any Star Wars action figures when I was a kid. I just built stuff.

I bought a couple Black Brant IIIs last year for about $8.99 each before AC Supply reduced their discount. They are better rockets than this, by far, IMO. Heck, I might finish one of them like this 65th Anniversary thing just to make a point.

…and this one just went for $147. Wonder if Estes made 300 more and sold at $79.95 each if they would move like hotcakes? I don’t think any of the eBay ‘flips’ have gone for anything under $100…more like around $150 or so average.
