I'M GONNA SAY IT!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE PLAYMATES COME OUT WITH A VEHICLE VOLTRON.

@RoyalKnightVIII Ай бұрын

Could they? That's a lot of individual parts

@CITYSTARS217 26 күн бұрын

@@RoyalKnightVIII well they are also smaller, so maybe they could release them by team, so basically air team 5 pack, land team 5 pack. You get the idea, how much would they cost? Depends, I can honestly see them only charging a little more for each pack if needed

You didn't peg the arms in all the way, that's why you were having trouble with the sound effects. Great, affordable Voltron!

I wouldn’t call it affordable. The collector scalpers are selling them for like 100 a piece. I wish I had that much free time to camp at stores but I have a life, family, and career. Sometimes I think toy companies are shipping directly to these scalpers to take in bigger profit. I will just get my boy the shirt.

I got so lucky back in 2017. Target had put the Dreamworks Voltron Lions on Clearance. But somehow the 2nd wave classic, were on the same SKU, so they went straight to clearance prices. I got them for $9.99 a piece

My Voltron toy experience. Back when we got the diecast Voltron here in the states I was getting $5 a week in allowance. Voltron was $60 and I saved up for 12 weeks to get him. In that version the Red and Green lions used their tails to attach to the black lion. After a couple times of transforming him the retainer in the shoulder of the black lion broke and the tail of the red lion couldn't ever peg in again. Saved for 3 months and the toy broke in about a week.

It's good to know anyone who missed out on Voltron has another chance at getting the old team. For some reason I think you're not pushing the connections fully in on the shoulders, they seem to stick out too far. If that's on purpose then I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree. Nice review overall, especially for anyone after information about the lion team.

2024 is a re-release of 2017. If you missed 2017, now is a good time to pick up a very reasonably priced Golion/ Lion Force set. Pick it up if you have kids around (i.e you're a parent or aunt/uncle) and keep it somewhere the kids can manhandle it. It's not the good Blitzway set that costs a kidney and testicle that you don't want small hands breaking.
