i love the white Loft Smash, with its black accents. I call it the Storm Trooper.

Interesting news… to me, anyway. I don’t know if folks here already know this.
Pentel USA has discontinued the SMASH. While there is one SMASH edition on their website for sale, it’s actually in the closeout category. The default ubiquitous black model? Not there.
I reached out to them, inquiring about a possible replacement part. It’s… well, something I didn’t expect they’d have, but I figured why not ask. I have a SMASH where the lead retainer is missing. I’d gotten it used and the seller didn’t check it for proper function. It must’ve come out when the previous owner was clearing a lead jam or something. Anyway, I asked Pentel about it and they said they were sorry, but it’s discontinued and only sold by their division in Japan.
