B8 Engines Coming Soon?

I got my first packs of the new C5-3 engines.
These came with igniters and plugs. 
I wasn't familiar with the light blue plugs, it's been a few years since the Super C engines have been made.

Note the end tag says "B8 and C5". I would think the B8 engines are coming soon -

    Those plugs always said that, those from the 90s. I'd say that Estes should re-intro the B8 since they're using the same pintle for both.

    Be nice if they actually do *all* the flavors of B8's - 0, 3, 5, and 7.

      Hi Anonymous,
      I wasn't building or flying rockets in the 1990s so I must have missed the light blue plugs the first time around.

    Bill mentioned "higher kicking B boosters" at NARCON during the Estes tour Q&A

      Hi Eagle 3,
      Yes he did mention them. That's one reason I did this post, thinking the "B8 C5" plug tab might be leading up to the B8 engines being released.
