This just came in the mail today- pure 90's B:TAS nostalgia hit- Also one of the best cartoons I've ever seen (yes much better than g1 ) . Must have held and stared at this box many times for so long at World 4 kids Bankstown (If anyone remembers) back in the day. Alas it was not there when chances to pick it up arose. Faux b'day gift for myself I suppose Apologies for not being a tf purchase.



To keep it somewhat TF related... my box of Beast Wars stuff has apparently attempted delivery status as of 2 days ago from tracking... but I still have not received a P.O. card... hmm...

I love all the birds and the pig haha. I just watched the video again (without sound) and noticed a "squeeze me" tag on them, does that mean they make the noises?

I bought a vintage Alpha Fighter 1/32 scale today.

Odd, purchase for me. But very very happy, so much so that I couldn't even let it stay in the box (I feel like a kid back in the early 90s playing the Palladium Books' Robotech role playings game...; I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about).



More details and HK Market Watch here.

It was a real shame that Toynami in their time with Voltron never re-made the Vehicle Force. Toynami did make the Lion Force anniversary set for which I purchased.

As such, I always wanted a Vehicle Force but the quality was so dispersed wiht missing pieces and price was an issue.

However a couple of weeks ago on EBAY I found a pretty good Voltron Vehicle Force.

This Voltron did not have instructions or a box, however on the net, I found some website – "Angelfire" that had the old Voltron and some basic instructions.

As you can see from pictures from EBAY, this was filthy.





If they cleaned the thing there could have been more interest.

I asked the seller about this toy. The story was that this belonged to her brother and it sat in the bedroom closet for years. She advised that the right arm had a scratch when in fact the clip on the hand was broken. As such the hand wont lock in. To fix this, I took the relevant vehicle apart and removed the spring. I put some tape on the hand so that it locked into the vehicle.
I considered complaining, but this was a bargain at $160 given that age and condition. So I just shut up and gave her a good comment. You don’t see that many Voltrons in such good condition.

Anyway it arrived today and I set back cleaning this thing. It took ages. I used water and paper towels.

Here they are all disassembled.



I started making the teams:

Sea Team



Land Team



Air Team



Here is the Vehicle Force Voltron all assembled together.

As you can see the EBAY photos didnt do Voltron justice. A good clean really picked him up.
