LEGO Voltron Revealed!

LEGO has finally revealed the LEGO Ideas Voltron set. I will say that this is amazing set. I love the designs of this set. The lions are perfect. I am kinda upset that there aren't  any minifigures included. The box art is fantastic as well. It is very reminiscent of the '80s. The lions are really accurate as well. The sword doesn't look right, but I guess that is a fault of the LEGO System. This set is perfect; it is well designed. The price of $179.99 seems a bit high, but it looks worth it. I do hope they will release one for the Legendary Defender show, but I won't get my hopes up.

Here is the official LEGO Press release from LEGO Ideas:

We know you've been waiting patiently for the lions to form and today we're delighted to reveal the very first images of LEGO® Ideas 21311 Voltron. Originally submitted by the Philipino LEGO Ideas member Lendy Tayag a.k.a.len_d69 back in April 2016, it's since been under transformation, in the capable hands of LEGO Designer Niek Duco van Slagmaat, who has ensured it lives up to the LEGO build quality and experience.

At 2,321 LEGO elements, LEGO Voltron also becomes the largest ever LEGO Ideas set, measured by piece count! However, it's not just the element count that's supersized as the combined Voltron measures a towering 15” (40cm) high, 5” (14cm) long and 8” (21cm) wide, making it the biggest buildable LEGO mech ever.

LEGO Voltron will be available from shop.LEGO.com/Voltron and LEGO stores around the world from the 1st of August, 2018 for a recommended retail price of USD/EURO* 179.99 / GBP 159.99.

If you're itching to get your copy of 21311 Voltron as soon as possible then we can reveal that this set will be available early for LEGO VIP members on the 23rd July, 2018! Remember it's free to become a LEGO VIP member and you can learn more about it here.
