Yep. The set only comes with Voltron's sword. It appears that only select body panels are die cast as well and as per usual with die cast, a little detail is lost after painting. Soul of Chogokin this is not.

It'd be neat to have a mini desktop Voltron but not over $50.

SoC ruined it for me. No other Voltron will ever measure up.

The gift set is a better value

I'm old school (G1?) Voltron, so I'd rather the SoC version...

Still, if I catch this on clearance... :-?

Lego Voltron, thoughts?

LEGO Voltron DOES look cool!! I'm wondering what changes will be made though.

Wasn't there another builder-block-LEGO-compatible Voltron already out? I seem to remember someone here doing a comparison pic with a couple of versions of Voltron.

Oh, and maybe someone needs a kidney? 'Cause I do like this LEGO Voltron. =P~

(Looks much better than the one I made as a kid out of LEGO.)

[Edit] Yeah, this one:

I belive the user that posted those pics in this thread is the same user that got the Lego Voltron greenlighted.

Voltrons I own:
SOC Voltron
Toynami Voltron EX
Legendary Defender Voltron
Diecast Legendary Defender Voltron
Altmites DX Voltron
Matty Collector Voltron
SDCC Blazing Sword Voltron

Voltrons I used to own:
The 3rd Dimension Voltron (Trendmasters Re-release)
3rd Dimension Jumbo Combiner Voltron
Toynami Masterpiece Voltron

Just bought Diecast Legendary Defender Voltron this weekend, and I can't recommend him enough- he's a pretty neat little guy.

I modded his head to turn, although it sacrifices his ability to look straight forward- he's always looking slightly up now, so unless he's leaning forward a little bit, it kind of looks weird- so I'm considering buying another diecast Black Lion, just in case I ever wish to just have him staring directly forward. No biggie.

I saw the die-cast lions in Walmart yesterday for $14 each. If I didn't already have the big boy, I may have jumped and picked them up

Don't. Buy the gift set, it's $10-$20 cheaper

Don't even do that, save up for the official Lego Voltron combiner set that's coming out next year ;)^

Do they actually combine or do you just build the lions and then build Voltron?

I would be so much more into this if it was the Legendary Defender version, but as is this is still friggin' cool!

I too like the more modern take on his aesthetics, but, how can you say no to a classic done up in lego?

I easily can. Not a fan of the lego aesthetic, at least not for this. I like building cool structures, I wont lie. But for a voltron toy, I would much rather have a solid toy I dont need to build that doesnt have that 32 bit aethetic you get with lego. I am good with the Legendery Defender version.

Why not all three?

I saw that Target dropped the price on the single pack die cats as well. Still the set's a better buy.

I think I'm gonna agree with Hellscream9999 and say to save up for that LEGO set. I'm super pumped!!!! It also helps that I'm riding a LEGOLAND high still :lol:
