A "cool Estes rocket" kinda depends on your own definition of what is cool. My personal preference goes toward the science-fiction/futuristic designs. This also means I currently need to purchase most of the kits I want off of eBay because they are mostly out of production kits. Some good examples are the X-wing and TIE fighter from the Star Wars collection, the Enterprise and Klingon cruiser form the Star Trek pair, the Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper,et cetra. I also have an Interceptor E (bigger one), and in the past I have had the Atlantis, and some other of the sci-fi looking ones. Just a mater of opinion.
Shuttle Express (has 2 gliders that float down independently)
Helicat/Cosmic Cobra (nose cone returns using helicopter recovery)
The many multiple-stage rockets
Payloaders
The Oracle, the rocket with the video camera, is no longer being produced, but you can still get them online.
If you're interested in other rockets that look cool or do different things, look to FlisKits. They have a number of great rockets that are much more than three fins and a nose cone.
