Voltron: Defender of the Universe - Collector's Edition 1 (DVD, 2006, 3-Disc Set)

I loved this cartoon and still do it was the best when I was growing up. About time they release this as a region 1 DVD .They dont make cartoon like this anymore When it comes out I'am going to sit down with my son and watch it.Even the voltron toy from the 80's were real Die Cast metal not like the plastic toys of today.I still remember getting my first Voltron toy at Clover Dept store it was the best.I played with that every day. Now Voltron action figure were re-released as a Limited Edition Masterpiece edition and they did an awesome job as they were made of die-cast just like in the 80's
I got mine.

I am so glad they have released all these sets, it takes me back to my simple childhood days. For those of you who are not familiar with voltron.... its basically the 80's cartoon version of todays Power Rangers. My kids had no idea who voltron was but as soon as I popped it in they were glued to the t.v.

So if you like voltron, power rangers or your kids do I highly recommend getting all these sets.

There are 5 sets in all (as of now) and come in tin cases with each lions head as the artwork, red, green, blue, black, yellow. Each set has 3 discs and most discs have around 6 - 8 episodes on each.

I recommend if you are going to go for the whole set to get them in order so you wont be jumping around in the story line allot. Blue lion is the first set

Let me preface this by stating that I'm am totally biased on this subject. I loved this show when I was younger. The mid 80's were the golden years for this style of cartoon. Kids had so many cool choices back then..Transformers, He-Man, G.I. Joe, Robotech, and of course Voltron. Voltron is the story of a group of space explorers (Keith, Lance, Pidge, Hunk and Sven...the Voltron Force) sent to find the giant robot Voltron. The robot was split into five parts. Each part was in the shape of a lion. Once the five lions were brought together, they would form Voltron. Five robot lions coming together to form a giant robot and fight giant robot monsters called Robeasts. For a 10 year-old boy, this was the ultimate. As far as this collection goes, this is Volume I. It contains the first 15 episodes of the series on 3 DVD's. It also has some special features, including the original pilot. There are going to be a total of 8 volumes, one for each lion and one for each team of 5 for the "Vehicle" Voltron. {That's another story altogether.} You can get the regular DVD case or the "collector's" tin case. Now if you're a fan of the show, then you already know if you want this. If you're new to the show, then I can recommend this title with fair warning. Each episode, once they find Voltron, is basically formulaic. Their planet is attacked, they try to fight the monster with the lions, they lose, they form Voltron and game over. This show came out in 1984 and of course, the animation is dated. If you can get past that, I think that you'll like this show.

When I first heard that they had the first season of the original Voltron on DVD, I couldn't believe it. I just HAD to get it! And when I did finally get it, I spent the next 2 weeks, straight, watching this first season OVER and OVER and OVER again! I felt like a little kid again, sitting in front of the TV on a saturday morning! So to anyone thinking about buying this, I must make this disclaimer: WARNING!! THIS DVD SET COULD CAUSE THE VIEWER TO SIT FOR HOURS ON END ON A COUCH, CHAIR, OR RECLINER, WHERE HE/SHE MAY ULTIMATELY FORGET TO EAT, DRINK, OR GO TO THE BATHROOM.

Good Quality picture. It was really clear for being over 20 years old!! My husband has watched an episode every night for the past few weeks and sings the theme song constantly.

Growing up Voltron was my favorite cartoon growing up. I use to love to watch it. When I saw Voltron for sale I jumped on it. I enjoyed Voltron. It started out slow then it got better at the end. I love the collector case it comes in. The only thing about the DVD I wish they would redo is the voice overs again. That was the only thing I didn't like about. Other then that IT GREAT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND Y'ALL GETTING THIS!!!

I loved this show, and probably watched it for too long, using it to transition from childhood to teenage years. I have waited for them to release this for some time. 5 lions that form the super robot Voltron vs the evil King Zarkon and Prince Lotour. Classic late 80's/Early 90's.

GREAT VIDEO SERIES AT A GREAT PRICE!!!! THIS SERIES WAS A FAVORITE OF MY SON-IN-LAW AS HE WAS GFROWING UP AND IS GOING TO MAKE ANAWESOME CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!

Voltron is by far one of the coolest tv shows from the past. Personally I loved it and it brought back many memories. It is a great show that focuses on friend ship and awesome robots. It also comes in a cool collectable tin!!! I say it's a must buy.

ohhh this one brings bacvkc memories, i watched these cartoons when i was a kid, my kids can't beleive this was a show back in the day, the are into the transformers, this is an excellent addition to my vintage collection. Trying to find all the showes i saw as a kid. have any He-Man?..ha! well anyway great product, excellent condition,thanks alot.

It was exactly what I was expecting, I decided to buy it because I really loved the series and i will be buying the remaing volumes. I will see if this seller has them.

The product is great. Good shape, excelent condition. Video play is great too. No skips, no picture freeze. I am glad I had the chance to purchase it. It's a great start on my collection.

Sometimes thing should be left in the shadowboxes of our mind. Voltron is one of those. The love and excitement I felt when watching the show as a child does NOT cross the gap of time with this DVD set. However my seven year old loved it. My theory, robot Lions and monsters are pretty cool even without a coherent story to the mind of a child. if you want you kids to see it, save your money it's on Boomerang.

It's a classic anime series that I've loved since I was a kid. I'm glad that it came to dvd and I like the collectible tins that they come in.

I received the item in 2 days..Wow.. It was nicely packaged..cool.. It was in perfect condition!!! Holy$#!%!! I'm now watching for the other auctions for other seasons..

The video is pretty cool, it comes in a metal case, then has a folding CD case inside.. Three disks, the whole season of "Voltron" (boy those guys say 'Golion' a lot ;))

My kids love it! I also found I apparently didn't see every episode when I used to watch..

awesome deal sweet cartoon. one of the best series ever. i had too have it. having it in the tin cases means it will be protected for a longtime to come and it looks sweet too.

The item arrived within days of payment. I watched this cartoon as a kid and now my kids love it! Thank you!

The 3-disc set arrived in great condition. Unfortunately, after playing disc 1 for my boys, disc 2 broke in half when I tried to take it out of its case. A bit brittle for some reason.

But the set arrived in condition as promised. Thanks.

I originally bought this DVD to introduce my 4 year old to the kinds of cartoons I watched as a kid. He loves it! Voltron was just as I remembered. The DVD's were remastered exactly like the original episodes I grew up watching. The quality was so good that I am in the market for the Green Lion Edition to add to my collection.

i bought it i'm a fan of the show and huge fan of voltron best show of all time a must have for everyone at love the show it rocks we'll you and have a great day thank you
