Excellent Place to Start Review by Gyes

I thought that I'd enjoy picking up a hobby I enjoyed as a child, so I started with this set. This one seemed to offer the best variety and value compared to the other launch sets and I wasn't disappointed. Both kits are easy enough to assemble (although I forgot how terrible I am at painting) and fly well. Don't underestimate the power of your engines! Even a B is enough to put the Crossfire almost out of sight. (Posted on 5/10/13)

Sweet buy... Review by Derek

This is a WHOLE KIT, I purchased it because there is no better way to show you a difference between an EZ1 skill level and a skill level 1 rocket, and provides the launch kit all in one inexpensive package. YOU WILL NEED to still purchase plastic cement and craft glues, the motors, recovery wadding, and have 4 AA batteries. (Posted on 4/7/13)

Best launch set Ever Review by BigRIJoe

I bought my first Estes launch set in 1957. This launch set, with it's choice of two very different rockets, is the launch set I've ever seen Estes offer. (Posted on 2/22/13)

Amazing Review by T dub

Have not built the cross fire yet but the amazon is awesome. dad and I went out for the first few shots there was a slight wind so we put the launch pad at an angle and shot it The rocket went straight into the corn in our back yard (Posted on 11/21/12)

Great deal Review by Big Dogg

Was shopping with my 7 year old nephew and spotted this on the shelf. Hadn't built a model rocket since I was in high school but thought it would be fun for my nephew. The Amazon E2X was so easy to build that even a 7 year old could figure it out and the Crossfire ISX allowed me to call up my long dormant modeling skills. Both models were excellent fliers and the launch system worked well. (Posted on 10/2/12)

Great starter kit Review by Sam

This was a present for me and my son. The Amazon was perfect for him cause its assembly is straight forward. Countless hours of quality time spent together and he and I really enjoy it. (Posted on 8/29/12)

Great launch set Review by Caleb

The Amazon goes higher than you think it comes down rely soft.And I haven't built the crossfire. (Posted on 7/3/12)

Highly reccomend this Review by MJA RocketWorks

This is the perfect starter set and my first rockets. It basically comes with everything you need with TWO great rockets! The Amazon is huge and impressive, and actually flies pretty high and straight (600 feet is higher than you think!). It's reliable and easy to build. The Amazon parts are kind of dull black, and it looks even better with high gloss! The Crossfire is fast and high-performance. I always use the color schemes, and I really like the Crossfire's. It goes completely out of sight! Word of warning:only use C engines if there is NO wind or you live in Nebraska or something. Remember to cut a hole in the parachutes! This set could use watersilde decals though, but still, the Amazon and the Crossfire are a great combination for any beginner rocketeers! (Posted on 7/1/12)

Great Review by Apalm

(NOTE: I got this launch set from somebody who didn't realize I already had one (The Alpha III, which is awesome), but heck, it's always good to have a backup launch kit!) These are great rockets. The Amazon is arguably the best and most impressive E2X rocket that I've used, and the Crossfire is also a great little rocket. I can't recommend this set enough. It gives you two really good rockets and a launch set for a more than reasonable price! (Posted on 7/1/12)
