    Watching MONARCH on Apple+ and its the only reason I'm subscribing to their streaming service. The show is well made however almost all the main characters are unlikable and there is barely any Godzilla or monster action. It's great to see Kurt and Wyatt Russell but they are carrying the most water for this series.

    Hopefully it pays off towards the end of the season but Apple+ has a long way to go before winning over sci-fi fans.

    I  have to agree with this. The show is pretty good but the main 3 “young” people are so unlikeable. Kurt, Wyatt, and the Monarch nerd guy are the only people I like.

    The Skyraider looks great.  It's disappointing to hear about the Corsair not having functional landing gear though, and that's quite unusual for a BV kit.

    Yeah, the mains are there and “technically” can be position down but it’s just balancing on them and not secure and they will collapse with the slightest touch.

  3. I just finished the Skyraider. What a nice kit! This is the second Brick Veteran kit I’ve bought, the first being the F4U Corsair. This is a much nicer kit. The Corsair is very delicate and the landing gear can not be deployed. While the A-1 has folding wings and fully functional landing gear…a space saver for sure. It is also very solid and less finicky than the Corsair. If you have the funds I highly recommend the Skyraider kit when the inevitable Navy version is done.

    I only recently discovered the Blue Brixx Star Trek ships and some of them are cool.  Here are a few:

    It’s funny you brought these up. I ordered a bunch of these over the past few weeks. Just waiting for them to arrive. I ordered the Large Voyager (pictured), then the Large Bird of Prey (pictured) and a mid scale Aliens drop ship, then the Large scale Enterprise D and the mid scale Constellation, and lastly the just released Large Enterprise E (pictured) and the mid scale Defiant (which appears to be about the same scale as the Voyager)

  5. Definitely getting this one! But the pictures of the cockpit remind me of the age old question…..where do her legs go? Even if they wanted to make a full figure I don’t see how she could “really” fit in the darn thing.🤷🏻‍♂️

    Nay nay!  THIS is peak Picard, at his awesomest.

    He's diplomatic.  He's working towards peace.  He's trying to bridge the gulf between two species so recently enemies.

     

    But he's nobody's fool, and he's NOT to be trifled with.  The very definition of silk hiding steel.

    YES! That is peak Picard. Chef’s kiss

  7. Watched the Long Road home. Not bad but not ground breaking or anything. I did like a lot of the design updates. The Whitestar in particular makes a LOT more sense. The Shadow ships are….alright but I prefer the original Battlecrab design. The StarFury’s are perfection and weren’t muddled with. In a way, the way the show ended, they sort of set up a reboot new series. I’m curious if that was the plan originally before WB cancelled the reboot…again.

  8. Wasn’t one of the stated reasons that the “Rescue” Osprey was cancelled was because it is made by Boeing who also manufactures military hardware? Though that kit apparently did have some serious design flaws that maybe LEGO just used the “controversy” as a convenient out to cancel the kit. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I wonder how long until the pitchforks come out for the Concorde then because Aérospatiale and BAC are both military manufacturers too. Not wanting this to happen by any means just the inconsistency is odd.

  9. I think LEGO has really underestimated how popular this kit is going to be. Good aircraft kits are criminally underrepresented there…likely due to their stance of not wanting certain companies to profit because they also make military hardware. Such a shame that even regular old Airliners can’t be made either then. 🤷🏻‍♂️
