    Ah, that's neat.

    Of course it also doesn't make a lot of sense, seeing the lions come with the pilots anyway.

    But more display options are always a great thing.

    I'd be annoyed spending over 200 bucks to get a Voltron with just the Sword.
    And fans would've screamed bloody murder if the chose not to buy the pilots
    (But why would you)

    I realise the shield isn't canon, but I want it.

    Didn't the shield get used as a shuriken? Oh, I might be getting confuesd with Vehicle V...

    I'd like to see a retail release of some Voltron as well. Is the new cartoon still going?

    I think the new cartoon just finished its first season.

    Mattel had a sweet looking Voltron based on the animated look at SDCC.

    I hope that sees release somehow, but I'm not very confident.

    Personally, I can't even watch the new cartoon. The animation is just that bad.

    A friend of mine has kids who absolutely love it though. They also hate Thundercats.

    Strange because they're complete opposites in terms of animation quality, but the kids love the one with the worse animation.

    Video review of Yellow Lion for those interested.

    The comparison next to Fort Max really puts this things size into perspective.

    Huuuuuuge!

    Not quite. The final episode of the first season airs in a few days' time.

    I'm confused.

    I'm still awaiting my yellow lion set, which is still well within normal timeframes.

    I just received not one, but TWO emails from Mattycollector stating my subscription was being charged, and shipment sent out shortly.

    Did everyone else get the same thing?

    I'm really confused, as surely the next lion set isn't ready yet??

    I received the same two emails. I believe it's yet another screw up. This sort of thing has already happened like 2-3 times in recent months.

    Just make sure that they are not charging your credit card for nothing since they are that criminally incompetent.

    Here's my story, which is posted at the Matty Customer Service forum. See what happens.

    Here's my full story, and is the exact text I put into the Matty thread.

    ==================================================
    I received two emails from you guys today.

    The text is copied below. Now, I only have one subscription with you guys, which is for Voltron. I was charged for yellow lion, and it has shipped. I haven't received it yet, but considering I'm in Australia, it's still within a normal postage timeframe.

    This was the email, which I received two of: ''Hi (my name here),

    Here's a friendly reminder that it's time for your club subscriptions from MattyCollector.com to automatically renew.

    That means your card will be charged and you can look for your shipment to leave our warehouse in the next several days. We'll send a shipment confirmation email once it does so you know it's on its way.

    Have questions? Just give us a call at 877-GO-MATTY or email us at MattyCollector.CS@digitalriver.com.

    Thanks for being a MattyCollector.com customer!

    Customer Service''

    So considering yellow lion has only just gone out, what is this? I emailed asking that, to the email address stated.

    Here's my text from that email: ''Hi, my name is (me), and my email is (my email address) ,
    and my address is Australia.

    I received two emails (both were the same, but I only have one
    subscription with you guys, which is Voltron) stating that it was time
    for my club subscriptions to renew.

    It then said it'd be leaving the warehouse shortly after the charge.

    Yet I don't know what this is.

    My yellow lion set was paid for, and is on its way over to me. I haven't
    received it yet, but red lion took 3 weeks, so it's still well within
    timeframe.

    So what is the charge now that you emailed me about?

    I'm confused.

    Clarification would be appreciated.

    Thank you,

    (Me)''

    Nice and easy, right. You're going to be charging me, can you please just let me know what it is you're charging it for, and why the email was duplicated, as I only have a single subscription for Voltron.

    This was their response: ''Dear (me),

    Thank you for contacting the MattyCollector.com online store.

    We apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, we are unable to
    assist you with this issue at the MattyCollector.com online store.

    Please contact customer support at:

    1-800-524-TOYS (1-800-524-8697)

    Sincerely,
    Jacqueline D.

    Seriously? You can't tell me what you're charging me for?? What the hell?

    And considering I bluntly stated I'm in Australia, why respond by telling me to call? I'm not incurring massive charges for me to call the US, not to mention the inconvenience of having to call at an inconvenient hour due to time zone differences.

    If you can't tell me why you're charging me, what it's for, then you have NO business being in business.

    I wasn't asking some highly detailed question. I can't see how this could be any more basic an enquiry.

    I'm seriously not happy, and am considering cancelling and putting more money to non-Mattel products, and just quitting this Voltron subscription if this is the unprofessional business I'll have to deal with for the rest of the year.

    Can you please explain the actions of this CS rep, and tell me just what the heck it is you're charging me for, and why is there a possibility of it happening twice?

    And why such a stupid and inane response from your supposed customer service rep? How is that in any way acceptable, considering I blatantly said I'm Aussie, yet I'm told to call a phone number in the vain hope they are able to read?
    ========================================


    In case it's not obvious, I'm incredibly pissed off right now.
