I personally believe they will show up at TRU. TRU currently sell Dinotrux which is a Netflix exclusive show. With that said if TRU are willing to risk selling a previously unknown product advertised through an exclusive payTV service I am sure they will commit to selling a higher profile item such as VOLTRON even if again the show is exclusively available to customers of Netflix.
I just can't simply wait and got my black lion from ebay. Cost me over 100 including postage fee. Why are we taking so long to get these guys. And ya, i will be spewing if its under 90 or 80 dollars. I have messaged playmates in America and they told me they have no idea. Instead they asked me to email playmates international. I am still waiting for the response. It does'nt look good for us. I am wondering if anybody heard any news
BAD NEWS FOR VOLTRON FANS
I recieve this email from playmates
Hi Eddie,

Thank you for your e mail and for your interest in Playmates’ new Voltron product line. We are finalizing plans to distribute these products in Australia probably in late 2017 or 2018. Unfortunately, we are unable to supply Australia consumers directly at this time. May we suggest that you attempt to purchase these products through the on line outlets of major U.S. retailers

Thanks and regards,

Just got this from ToysRUs:
Hi xxxxxx,
Thank you for your inquiry and our apologies for the delay in responding.
It appears that Toys R Us Australia are due to receive items from the Voltron range in the second half of this year.
This range includes, at this stage, the electronic Voltron with lights and sound, Voltron basic figures, Voltron Deluxe figure, Voltron Role Play, the Transforming Sword, and Voltron Black Lion.
Feel free to contact us towards the end of the year to see if we can provide you with an update.
Kind regards,
Larissa's Signature
So we are going to get them..... but we're going to have to wait a bit. Here's hoping sooner rather than later![]()

PC ? PREMIUM COLLECTABLES? Thats the last place ill shop. They never get it before selling and usually takes long before they send their items. I bought mp optimus primal from october and it still have not arrived. Their excuse is cos I'm on a long que. ya right. But hopefuly you will get your lions. If i cant get it from australia cos how slow our economy is going ill have to get it from BBTS or ebay. Kinda feel bad how we have to pay alot to get them here asap and in america and other countries they get there for a cheaper price.
The more I see of the new combining Lions the more tempted I am to buy the set. Thought I was done with Voltron when I sold my childhood set but it seems maybe not.
