Okay this is something that is long overdue in the wake of Toynami's MP Voltron aka Lionbot/Lionforce. Now here it is for those who were also fans of Vehicle Voltron, aka Dairugger IX and it looks amazing! Ever since the release of Toynami's Voltron I have longed for them to produce VV but the more I looked into the possibility the more I heard from various sources that it would never come to pass.

Now to my complete and total surprise the people at Most Wanted / Miracle Productions are giving us an extremely awesome looking fully articulated Vehicle Voltron with all the various features and more. Now it seems that Most Wanted / Miracle Productions are no strangers to the world of super robots so I feel the expectaions are running pretty high on this soon to be released jem.

But like most when I was young I was fully drawn and into the 1st Voltron Force with their awesome lions roaring into battle. But as I got older I found myself digging the Vehicle Voltron Force more and more until coming to terms liking VV best. How about you? So I've got my pre-order in and if this turns out to be what I expect and more I may have to buy another. Cuz if you want the best you gotta be willing to pay the ultimate price!

I'm still worried about his neck snapping. It is way too thin.

I'm dumping that kinda of money into the Matty Collector Voltron.

Unless that thing is Fort Max size, they won't get me.

Looks cool though. Had me until I saw the price tag.

I've always liked the Vehicle Voltron, maybe even more than the Lion Force.
Considering the price of (good) toys on the rise, he's not really outrageously priced. Over 50% Die-cast and the box weighs almost 10 pounds . Just think about it, toys close to this caliber were the norm in the early-mid eighties.

I really need to think on this guy

Mattel Voltron will cost 600 hundred after it being fully assembled. That is about 350 more than this. This one is thirteen inches and it would go well with the Toynami Voltron. But I'm still concern about the neck. It's way too thin the plastic there. I'm afraid if it snaps there. Especially with my bad experience with Mp Rodimus.

What Mattel Voltron are you looking at?

Red and green Lion $50 each

Blue and yellow Lion $55 each

Black lion $65

THat does not add up to $600.

You have to also pay for the Voltron subscription at the Matty site if you order everytime. What about the pilots? They also cost money. And there is also shipping which it has gotten expensive. In alot of places, other than the matty website, the red lion with lance along with shipping goes for $100 bucks now. And red lion is one of the smallest lions along with the green lion. The other three are much bigger.

Uh...no. Why would you have to pay for the subscription every time you make a purchase? That's ridiculous. You better double check the facts on that. I just can't imagine Mattel forcing you to rebuy the same subscription over and over five times.

Plus, the lions come with their figures. Lance came with the red lion. The same will happen with Pidge, Keith, Alura and Hunk.

Each lion comes as a set with its corresponding pilot, individually packaged and shipped with its partner in a single box. This set includes the Red Lion and the pilot Lance. They are not sold separately.

THEY ARE NOT SOLD SEPARATELY.

The only things you're missing by buying these separate, instead of using the subscription?

Ease. (Fighting the collectors to get your order through on the site is a nightmare.)
Sven. (An exclusive figure available ONLY to subscribers.)
Price. (You'll pay more to buy them individually, but not the price of a subscription, over and over.)

Yes, you have to pay for the subscription in mattycollector when you are going to buy a line off from them. It is still ridiculous along with the shipping expenses. I would of prefered if these were sold in stores instead of it being an overpriced on line exclusive.

*sighs*

You pay for it once!

$65.00 to start, which covered the cost of the subscription and the lion/figure, plus a fee for shipping.

From that point on, you pay for the lion/figure and a shipping fee. The subscription was paid for on the first lion.

If you buy them without the subscription, you'll pay a higher price, but not the price of a subscription, over and over. That's just silliness.

Even FunPub with all their problems make you pay only once per year and that's it.
