I know this isn't TF related, but I couldn't figure out which folder to put this in.

My wife loves Voltron! But 139.99 is a bit steep for a 1997 release, even with die cast. Dang, I wish I had a credit card...

I remember seeing it and passing on it at least 5 times back in 97. It was $39.99 back then so if it is overstock they will be making a nice profit.

Holy cow, I bought the Trendmasters Voltron back in 1998 at Toys R Us for a MEAGER $39! :shock:

$139, Wotta mark-up! :shock:

Here's my take on the Trendamasters Voltron:

Die cast content is good on these but WATCH the chrome. It comes off real easy! So be careful. Paint chips are not uncommon either.

The good part about the Trendmasters release is that it comes with almost all the original weapons not included in the original US release. It comes with a LOT of stuff.

I thought the price was a little steep too and I don't have the cash right now for it. I was wondering how it compared to the Toynami Voltron set.
