I bought this from Toys”R”us.  For $25.00 it is not a bad deal. It does not come with any engines though, but the pad and controller. I plan on using the Amazon as a replacement for the Helio-copter booster, ie, I plan on using the nose cone from the Cosmic Cobra on it. Actually, the nose cone itself IS the same cone on both. The Cosmic Cobra simply has the heli-blades that are glued on to it.

As for the Crossfire, I am going to use this design as my first upscale attempt. I want to make a bigger version, probably powered by a D engine.  We will see...

The Tandem-X Launch Set offers Xtra value with two rockets. The Crossfire ISX is a Skill Level 1 rocket that streaks over 1,200 feet into the sky, and the Amazon is an E2X rocket that flies over 600 feet. The Tandem-X Launch Set includes a launch pad and launch controller
