Thanks SEMROC !

Same here. I placed my order Thursday, there was no mail delivery Sunday or Monday, and the package was at my door Tuesday. I too have an SLS Laser-X in my future, and it just jumped to #1 on the build list.

There are no Hobby Lobby's in California, and Michael's only carries Estes... I am SOOOO left out. Any way to take advantage of these rocket sales via the internet?

well, the only "hobby lobby"ish thing about this deal with Semroc was that it was patterned after Hobby Lobby's 1/2 off sales. The key was to have already been an online customer of Semroc before December 15. Then Semroc sent out an email to all of their online customers as of that date and gave them a special "gift certificate" code to use when ordering.

As for actually buying Estes and Quest through Hobby Lobby, I don't think they have online ordering capability, just a mailing list to notify you about coupons and sales. They do have an online entity (Crafts, Etc.) that has exactly one rocket available (Estes Yankee).

------------------------

I was an online customer before December 15, but did not receive a "gift certificate" code via email. I would have loaded up the 'cart' if I had been contacted. My loss. That said, I have nothing but praise for Semroc kits. They are first-rate.

Ditto here.

btw, just finishing up their SRS Javlin....kick ass kit! Going to start the rest the SRS line as I scored the whole set about a year ago :)

Unfortunately, they were using Bellsouth.net for their smtp server when they sent out the email in the middle of December. Bellsouth has some MAJOR issues with mail sent through their smtp server either getting delayed by a number of days, or disappearing altogether. Semroc has since switched to an internal SMTP server after I brought this to their attention and now all is well with their outbound mail. I'd contact Carl and let him know you never got the Christmas special message. He may still honor the special to you. It can't hurt to ask!

I think there is going to be a lot of people flying SLS Laser-X's around the country this Spring...and I intend to be one of them.
