Not to be picky. Just jogging my memory Yep. Yellow and Blue were always bigger, since they are the legs. Green and Red were always smaller. Black Lion was always the largest. My level of excitement is off the charts on this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I don't care about Voltron, don't watch it and not interested. However, this is a giant ass mech, which means I have to get it. It looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylay Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Actually set pics are beautiful. I can’t believe Voltron didn’t take off in the 70s-80s in Europe while it blew up in the USA, Asia and of course its birthplace in Japan. For the late 30s to 50 something’s in Asia and US this set is is totally awesome and will sell out fairly quick. Asian demand will probably be very high on this. Truly a must have in multiples. If designers can design this mech this well imagine the possibilities with other great mech from the past!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they included nano-figs, or even mini-figs. That would've been a huge finishing touch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I love the set. I wish it was bigger. I also wish it had some sort of display plaque. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas007 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 to make the biggest Ideas set ever from such stupid, old and not worlwide popular theme is a madness from the TLG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylay Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Dude, they still gonna make tons of money on this. If you take away the fact that it is iconic Voltron, it still is a marvel of a mech, a combiner to boot! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hey if the shoe fits... It can be both a great set and a lousy investment. Don't care anything about voltron so I need to figure out if this is a winner or just fanboy hype. Nothing seems to be a winner anymore though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any need to jump on this thing, but I'll have at least 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusiKyle Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I also have zero familiarity of Voltron and it means nothing to me. What I do like about this set is being in 2018 and feeling like this set is straight out of the 80s. Sure the build techniques and parts used are more advanced than in the 80s but I appeal to the retro look. It would pair good with Tron if the Tron set was more aligned to the 80s version and less so the new Disney version. I also know little about Tron. Pairing them together would be nostalgic for many but enough to invest in? This feels like Hulkbuster USC to me, the pre-release hype was wild but once it was available I immediately cared less and didn't want to spend the money.

oneknightr Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 This reminds me. I need to introduce my 6yo son to Voltron! I wonder if the original series is on Netflix. I haven't watched the rebooted version yet. Is it worth watching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really gungho when I saw the pre-release pictures of the UCS Hulkbuster. There was no need to rush out and buy it right away with the way Lego produces them, so I waited. Then when I finally saw it in person at the Lego store, and I was really underwhelmed. I thought it'd be bigger. I sort of feel the same way with this set, but I think I'll be picking this one up. It's bigger and it's Voltron! Just a matter of when I'll buy it. I have so many sets in my backlog at the moment. 1 minute ago, exciter1 said: Yes, it's great, better than the original. Whoa, easy there exciter! Better than the original? That's a tall order to fill. Maybe I'll watch it with my son for the first time together instead of searching for the originals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
