Whenever that version came on tv, I’d always scratch my head and wonder what the hell happened to the lions. Gotta love how they’d grab any Anime that looked similar and just slap the same name in it.

Now if LEGO could just do a fully transformable Veritech fighter from Robotech....

Kinda like spaghetti Westerns and Django. At least Voltron stopped after GoLion and Dairugger. They were originally going to turn Lightspeed Electroid Albegas into a third Voltron (Voltron II, technically), but that idea got dropped. Though not until after they managed to get toys out for it of course.

That'd be awesome. Or some insane SDF-1 Macross set. So many pieces.

So... when you start to build LEGO, does it look like this, or is it not quite as organized?

Looks great Eldar. They always look even nicer built than on the box.

As for organizational skills, I just like digging through piles. I like how you stacked the tires like real tires.

Made by the same guy who made the Voltron set.

Depends on the set, but yes I frequently organize before building. I have the ginormous Star Destroyer (only 3 1/2 feet long ) and since virtually every piece was the same color grey, that was the only way to go about it. That damn set took me a week to do!

Holy mother of god...

[Kolchak357]

[wolfson]

[Citizen]

It's clearly an Apple-Bandai Pippin.

 

[Jeff Strong]

It’s a Sega Nomad.

Good eye, Kol. Yeah, she spoiled me this year. Although I got her a new laptop so the darling got even more spoiled.

 

[Kolchak357]

Nice score! Cool lady you got there.

 

[wolfson]

good boy Jeff . I agree with Kolchak , Cool Lady .

Could use some help from my tech savvy friends. My wife is looking for a new laptop. This is for work. Mostly Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other boring stuff. So she doesn’t need a fancy gaming machine. But I want something with good speed and memory, so I won’t have to upgrade it in 6 months.
Can one of you tech lovers recommend a laptop for me to get her? Just to make it easy can you recommend something I can get at Best Buy. That way I know I can find it. Thank you all
