Nice, simple review of the Jetfire, Hound, SE, Baroness, Ravage, Blogeon, Blaster set.

It answered some questions for me about Jetfire. The booster pack is removable and doubles as a secondary plane.

Kind of disappointed that the booster pack on Jetfire is hollow like that, especially since its supposed to be a removable craft of its own.

Something about the booster being a separate craft really makes me like this. It reminds me of the people compartments on early TFs that were imports from the Diaclone line, with the shape and color of it.

Can't tell exactly from the angle of the pictures, but it looks like the booster had to be hollow to interlock with the skystriker better and still look good when joined with it.

Let me try and look on the positive side of that booster pack being so simple and hollowed out........is there any chance someone may be able to cast that piece and sell it for a reasonable price.....say $30? Then we could really do some serious customizing and Macross crossovers.
