    I'm 54, so I lived through the 80s experiencing some of the cool stuff from that era. Saturday cartoons as well as afternoon cartoons reigned supreme in my kid schedule. Ironically, I neither saw Robotech nor Voltron growing up. My wife grew up about an hour north of me and she watched Voltron. I guess our particular stations didn't have it. Anyway, that Monogram model was the only Mospeada/Macross/Robotech thing I owned as a kid, as I never owned Jetfire either.

    I had an issue with my legion 7 2021 where one of the laptop speakers (the left) would cut out. Turns out on all the legion 7, the ribbon cable for the left speaker with come loose over time (heat, movement of laptop) I would re-seat the ribbon cable and it would again dislodge 8 months later. I put a fine piece of electrical tape over the ribbon near the connector, never dislodged again. This seems like pretty widespread on multiple lenovo models: Re-seat, cable (probably put some tape on it) Ground the trackpad to the chassis. The copper tape lenovo uses at the factory is flimsy causing the touch response to cut in and out so the electrical static build up seems to cause some issues if not grounded). this is the mod that a user on reddit used as a solution: (original and post mod pic)

    I have a feeling we're pretty much the same age, I got the Red Gakken Legioss aka Rook's Alpha and yes, best day ever!! That is until I got the SDF-1.

    Just a couple of little knick-knacks to mess around with at my work desk: The Defiant is an old Hallmark Christmas ornament that no longer lights up. Brought it out for the holiday season and figured to just keep her out on display all year long.

    It's possible it doesn't have traditional landing gear. After all, it's a fold-capable aerospaceliner, so it's got gravity control capabilities. It may just be landing on skids or potentially even just hovering there on gravity control levitation.

    Well, thank you! It helps that it's a pretty simple shape, overall, but I was happy with how it came out. And, yeah, the wings were obviously thrown in after the fact as a cool gimmick for the landing sequence. Even with the most amazing memory metals, what's shown in the screenshots is gigantic and probably as much mass as the whole passenger section. The landing gear also has to be pretty weird, since the one shot we get of the plane on the ground shows the nacelles clearly off the surface, but not really folded up at all, so the gear must be like stilts. 😉 I have so far decided to do exactly what the animators did and ignore it and not put it anywhere that I need to figure that out.

    KC should have just tampo printed red stripes on those Black Battle Pods.....First Order Style!

    👍 My concern is, if the continued expanding/contracting of the plastic along with day-to-day jostling causes the connector to come loose, is just reopening it and re-seating it an permanent fix?

    ~35cm would not be 1/2000 scale for the Ikazuchi space carrier from Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Per Artmic's settei for Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, the Ikazuchi space carrier is "a large warship with a total length of nearly 300m." This is referenced in B Club Special Artmic Design Works, MOSPEADA Complete Art Works, and a few other publications. 1/2000 scale would be approximately 15 centimeters, not 35. A model with a length of approximately 35cm would be 1/857 scale.

    I used to love their Youtube channel! Syd was so enthusiastic about Gundam that it became infectious. Got me to start picking up some of those kits. Then one day Syd was no longer there. 🙁

    Finally got me a Yamato VF-1S Hikaru. From Mandarake for 9k yen. Not a fan of Arcadia super bright whites, I even dislike a bit the Yamato white gor TV releases. Gotta love Yamato DYRL releases off white or the Bandai DX off white. I already have a old set of Strike parts to equip it later.

    Temptation won me over- I preorderd the Pose+. My inner child is all a-giggle.

    I envy you your nostalgia. For whatever reason, Robotech didn't air on any of our stations growing up, or it did and I wasn't aware of it, as I would have loved both the Mospeada and the Macross portions of RT. Southern Cross, what little I've seen of it via RT, seemed like a step backwards concerning the mecha and I instantly lost interest in watching it any further than a few eps. My experience with the Legioss, oddly enough, comes via Gobots via the Monogram Leader One model kit, which blew my teenage mind with its intricacy, its articulation, and its ability to transform seamlessly, not to mention all the opening panels and retractable landing gear. It represented everything I wished Transformers toys would be but weren't. I had little experience building models, especially one this "elite", but I managed it. I neither painted nor stickered my copy, but I loved it just the same- for the short time I had it. my dog, just a pup then, somehow got ahold of it and chewed the nose up. I was bummed but I held on to the thing for years- in fact, I may still have it in a box somewhere. there's just something about the Legioss' design that speaks to me; it's definitely more of a sci-fi plane than say the Macross valks, which are far more grounded in realism, one of the traits I adore about Macross, but there's a cool factor to the Legioss. It just looks great in both modes, IMHO. Anyway, I got the Toynami Bernard Alpha years ago, craving a decent looking Legioss/alpha toy. Of course, the Toynamis were riddled with issues, and my copy was not immune. I still have it, but it's just a deskoration at this point- I try not to handle it too much and transformation is pretty much not happening. I jumped on Sentinel's Legioss, a beautiful toy that's a touch fiddly. It hangs out in my Detolf. Now the Pose+ shows up with the potential of being a more robust, easy-to-handle toy, and I'm slavering all over it. 🤤 As I mentioned, I'm extremely tempted to get it, if only to have what's basically the most detailed version of the Legioss yet produced, right after the Sentinel, which previously held that title. That they're making it with an eye to playability appeals to me as well, as I tend to be a little heavy-handed with my toys sometimes, which is why I tend to refrain from transforming the more involved ones in my collection, short of initial procurement. I have a lot of transforming toys, but most of them have only been transformed a couple times, or just once b/c I'm afraid of breaking them or b/c the process frustrates me. Patience is definitely not one of my virtues, so it's better that way and I enjoy them as the beautiful things they are. Anyway, that's my ramble. Here's a pic of the box for that model. Of course, they had a same-scaled version of the Ride Armor that they called Cy-Kill. Kinda funny now looking back. I knew these weren't actually Gobots, but I had no awareness of Mospeada, either, so for years I had no idea where the design came from. I believe I owe it to this site, actually, for educating me on Robotech, and all that's associated with it, so thanks MacrossWorld!

    Thanks. The pearl over off white has such a nice silky look to it and adds a certain perceived depth to the surface. I had to repaint a few pieces after final paint layers were applied since I notice some poor surface prep on my part. Tiny scratch here and there. I need to slow it down and really inspect my pieces better at the primer stage to avoid so much work later on. I am contemplating what to start next while I finish up this build. Was thinking the Terror Mirage. I want to paint it like a stealth bomber or Blackbird scheme. More to come as always.

    Oh I thought that blue set was waterslide. Thanks for checking and seeing me straight!

    Great review, as always, Mike. My copy of this guy and Thundercracker are on their way, so I should have them in hand soon. It's a shame they didn't expend just a wee bit more engineering effort towards cramming more of the roof/hood kibble into his legs to clean him up a bit and make his legs look a bit slimmer in bot mode. Perhaps a third party will come up with a solution. Love the integrated weapon storage, which at this point in the franchise, IMHO, should be a standard feature for all Transformers. I hate tabbing guns willy nilly on the outside of vehicles, as it looks terrible and ruins the whole disguise aspect. The ankles are indeed weird, but as you pointed out, totally within sacred toon accuracy. 🙄 Regardless, I'm glad we finally got him. Now they just need to give us a proper G1 Mirage- the WFC figures were inaccurate to both toy and toon in numerous ways and it deserves a good representation like the others we've been getting. 'Til then, my Classics Mirage is filling the role. Love that figure but, admittedly, it's not entirely accurate either. We need a proper G1 Mirage in Legacy.
