Nah, just silliness I find online. u kno me

Ok, friends with the SOC Voltron I need help. How do you get the rear panels on the blue and yellow lion back out? These panels fold in so the legs of the black lion can slide in.

There is a small rectangular button on one side of the lions by the rear legs. If I remember correctly, you press it to unlock it, but you still need to fish it out (as in pressing the button doesn't automatically raise it).

What did you use to fish it out?

I just checked and was able to get it out with just my fingers. Kind of hard to explain, but I needed 2 hands. If you press the button on the side, you can see the tab give a little. Keeping it pressed with one hand and pushing the tab with your other hand should do the trick. So fishing it out was not accurate. I pushed the top of the tab so that the tab would spin out, if that makes sense.

OMG, I would've never found that button if you didn't say something. I thought it was the same button that releases the black lions' leg. Was this in the instructions?

Heh I never even looked at the instructions. I watched a couple of review videos while waiting for my SOC to arrive. That side button is well hidden. I even remember watching one video on youtube where the guy had no idea how to do it.

Glad I found out about it while getting ready to shoot my video. I better go through the instructions carefully

I'm currently selling voltron for cheap
If anyone wants to buy it
Rare trendmaster voltron the third dimension

I finally found the Legendary Defender Blue and Yellow Lions. Now, for the first time in about two months, my Voltron is complete, instead of resembling some sort of cartoonish gorilla made of cats.

The stocking of these things is about on par with TFs, apparently.

Amazingly, after waiting a month inbetween the 4 limbs and black lion, all 5 are stocked 2 per at both walmarts around me

Anyone getting the diecast version? Is it just a smaller all metal version of the legendary figures?

As far as I know it is, I'm thinking about it, but the price for a set is a bit much.

Finally got my Legendary Defender

Here it is together with my other 16 Inch Voltrons

CONGRATS!!!! They look great! While the more classic looking one with the metallic sheen is amazing looking, I feel we get a good value for our money with the Legendary Defender.

Due to a series of unfortunate/humorous events this review took far longer to get done than I wanted. This is THE version of Voltron to own.

Spotted an interesting box set of the previously released legendary lions at TRU for $100.

I read that somewhere that they'd be releasing the box set of all of them. $100 isn't bad considering they MSRP retailed for $20 a limb $30 for the torso?

Oh, and ChuckDawg, nice review! I'll have to keep watching videos to get my fix on that set. I have a problem saving money towards things like that

Bandai has gotten better about re-releasing SOC figures but sometimes the prices do go up

That die cast box set is this, right? http://www.toydojo.com/voltron-the-lege ... -set-of-5/

I'm intrigued by that set, but SOC Voltron ruined every other Voltron for me. Maybe I'll pick it up if there is a sweet deal.

Yeah, I think so. Now it's apparently an SDCC exclusive.

I saw that in the TRU promo email. They are stating you can "only pick it up" at the Entertainment Earth booth. Boooooooooooo.
