This release offers little to no fodder for laughter and criticism. What
do you think this is, a business?

I couldn't help but notice that the announcement didn't mention how
thick the plactic bag is or weather there is a bar code on them.
These ROL guys need to get on the ball and report the whole story.

BTW - These are great looking rockets.  Hope they make some bigger
versions of them soon.

How is that done?  Is it like the thing you do on house walls with a
sponge?

Look, if you're going to keep spouting that noise, could
you at least drop the all-caps? Mudslinging is one thing,
but there's no need to scream! :)

Fred, the difference between you and a schoolkid saying
"neener neener you got in trouble" is what? (Other than
the fact that the kid would have lost interest in _way_
less than 10 months, that is?)

"and": Why did you respond?? BTW, "BIG FINE" should sit down and shut
up; it will all go away..

I'd consider that a not so subtle hint that they don't want him there.

The pictures currently on the web site are of rockets done by the previous
owner.  And all he used was spray paint.  Just took his time.

Great.  Never ends.

At least big enough for H sized motors.  Bigger if it flys well on
Hs'.  

The bar codes should be at least 1 inch long.  I'm not picky about the
bags - as long as they don't tear. 8-)

Most intriguing releases.  The Mirage has a nice sleek look to it.

I think that the Sukhoi has an especially interesting look to it, but
the pictures are mostly in shadow.  Aaargh, more light please.  The
suspense is killing me!

It is hard to produce a better picture as the model is mostly black and used
preproduction decals.

I will post another picture, top view, on the web site this weekend.

Three more great looking kits, but I'm with Phil - consider producing
something bigger.
