 Getter Dragon,

When I was young I thought Getter Robo & Getter Robo G storylines were too adult for kids.  I probably need to re-watch a few episodes to see if my younger self was right

[Alpinemaps]

Since the Tron Ideas set (which is due out before Voltron) just had their pics out today, I'm going to guess we should see Voltron within the next two months.

[Val-E]

I´m thinking press release tomorrow at 3pm CET.

Love Voltron, had no idea they were doing this.  I keep holding out hope for a Live Action someday.

I would much prefer a live action Robotech.

Kind of hard to pull off a live action version of an already excellent series.  The live action has to be a serialized with good writers and director(s).  At least don't let anyone who did US live action of DeathNote (Netflix) anywhere near the series

Slightly on topic; season 5 of Voltron is $0.99 on Amazon

And purchased.  I think the first episode of every season is also available for free.

And I may have just wasted 20 minutes watching an episode.

Hearing an August 1 release date for $179.99.

I just have to make sure I get two of them before they retire.

I´d expect you to get 3 for the price of 2 with patience.

Nostalgia will play a huge role for me and others. In for as many as can!

Lego Stores got it's database updated with 21311 set which is Voltron and the price for this is rather hefty because it's set in Polish S&H for 829.99PLN which is eq of 179.99EUR and 169GBP.
Don't you think it's rather expensive not to say a "rip off"?
So The Adventure Time v2.0 in Europe is coming apparently in the set named VOLTRON.

 

look at this set and think it's 179.99 EUR
then look again...
 

179.99EUR.

Yeah this set may look pricey and may very well may be overpriced but if you are a fan of Voltron from back in the day this set may very well be a crazy unexpected sell out, especially since Netflix revamped the entire series to fire up new and long time fans. 

There are so many generations of Voltron in the toy world... but peeps are looking for that “holy Grail” version to emerge. If the Lego group does it right this may be a great investment. 

Its not about the kids with this thing...Voltron spans generations of fans and adult collectors will pay through the nose like a UCS 10179.

This sideshow maquette statue with light up eyes based on the new Netflix series has gotten great reviews from collectors.. I believe it’s the same size as our future ideas set. But thank God we won’t have to pay $1200!!!

lol

I assume the box art will be epic! Also very interested in the mechanism to build Voltron! 

What do you think? Will we get mini figures as well?

I don't expect minifigures but a display stand for the figures a la Helicarrier-style would be amazing!

[Alpinemaps]

Something like this would be cool

Wow I wasn’t even thinking “minifigs” with this set but you’ve got a great idea there with the possibility of “nano figs” like the helicarrier or Saturn V rocket.

...so 5 “nano figs”, for each lion...Now that would be Epic! 

[ChadWick1e46]

Correction ...”nano figs” for scale that might fit into each lion...but yeah some detailed minifigs with a display stand would be just as Awsome...any way you slice it figs would be nice.

I guess time will tell when this set is released. 

[HandyHand]

Press release is already out to fan sites. The set will be 2321 pieces!

Box shot looks very appealing! Can't show it, as it's still under embargo.

[Alpinemaps]

There’s a big Voltron panel at SDCC. I’m betting we’ll see it in person there.

Come on, this thread is only 2 pages long - go back one and you see a pic.

It´s a bigger remake of Exo Suit for 40 somethings.

No minifigs. The front of the box shows Voltron combined, wielding a large brick-built weapon in his right hand.
