Since there doesn't seem to be a general thread for discussing RocketLab, I figured I would start it.
Leading off is this freshly uploaded video of how they're proposing to reuse the first stage of Electron. No propulsive landing, but instead, a mid-air snag of the booster with a helicopter as a long-line payload as it descends under a ram-air parafoil. Seems fairly reasonable, especially given the low weight of the stage.
