Voltron – 25th Anniversary Collection Review

Posted on 25 April 2010 by admin

Wow!

This is it!  This is my first official toy review on my blog.  Believe I never give reviews like these before.  Been wanting to do this for months since I got the toy months ago.

So bear with me.  I’m going to have to give a go.

When I first purchased this in November, I knew I was going to send myself up for a big ugly surprise with the BIG spendup.

The shipping fee was just nasty shock to deal with as well… Nevertheless I went on and check out my goods and see how it fares.

I have the following item displayed here.

After working on putting the entire package into one super awesome robot in just under 2 hours, this is what it turns out to be…

I must say. I was really quite impressed with the entire process of unpacking, assembling and finally ‘piece’ them all together.  All of the 5 coloured lion pieces were easily ‘configurable’. Meaning they were easy to fold up. Nothing difficult to move the internal structure around with those lions.  It was a just matter of getting used to listening to the ordinary clicks when putting them altogether.

I must say. I’m liking this toy quite a lot. I like what I’m seeing this toy provides for an old school mecha love like myself sees when having a big toy put into your bedroom on display so people can see what an amazing toy construct it stands up.

All two-thumbs up to Toynami for producing this great toy collector’s edition!

Thanks for stopping by, reading my toy review!  I hope to do more of these in the future.

Voltron – Well… it has been 25 years

Posted on 20 September 2009 by admin

Voltron - 25th Anniversary

CollectionDX and several online mecha blogs raving about the new Voltron scale model that comes with die-cast material and plastics. Moreover, it’s a true Chogokin type model hence it’s sounded to be much higher grade of material quality for it to be priced very high (retailing around USD $150).

And it’s a commerative package for 25 years since it went on air in 1984 so it’s gonna be ultra special obviously! And because it’s a limited edition, according to Toynami, the production is only expected to continue until the end of December this year. They will not be produced any more in the near future. So you’d better get your hands quick on these ones while they’s still in hot pursuit!

They are two main online web places you can get it for a great cheap price.

1. Amazon.com – Currently retailing at USD $60.00. There’s a shipping charge of USD $10.00, if you’re not a US resident.

2. Entertainment Earth – Currently retailing at USD $70. The shipping fee stands at a whopping price of USD $50.95!! That’s pretty steep! :-/.

Guess I know which of the two should I pick. I think I’m going to get one while NZ’s exchange rate is very high against greenbag. ^^

And here’s the Youtube link (provided by RetroJunk) just to commemorate that. It’s  for everyone to enjoy what was once one of the greatest cartoons ever appeared on 14-inch TV sets!
