It would be more like, Power Rangers ripped off Voltron.

that would be true if power rangers and voltron were solely american creations. :p

I remember as a child being so pi$$ed off when I got these and the command center instead of Transformers. I gave them away. Stupid lions.

Awesome!

I'm surprised you opened the box. Now You can't sell it for $1k 20 years from now. heh.

I have all the episodes of Voltron at home (Lions only). Gotta watch them one of these days.

Seriously though, where did you get that? I still have my original one and this would be an awesome complement to it.

It was a birthday gift from my GF. She got it from eBay

I remember playing with those when I was a kid, pretty cool. My cousin had a set. What'd this one run you?

They are mostly metal. I believe it retails around $119 to $150

The Collectors box has slide out inserts, so it was meant to be opened :)

Word. This saddens me more than my former professors making Star Trek Analogies to explain class material.

As much as I enjoyed Voltron as a kid, I don't think I could justify spending $150 on this.

cool, nonetheless.

Half of ATOT: "Damn, that's really cool!"

Other half of ATOT: "Dude, you live in your mother's basement, you'll never have a woman, blah blah blah." While they are saying that, they are thinking, "I wish he would hurry and say where he got it so I can go get one!"
