July 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In preparation of the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) being available for sale in a few weeks, LEGO has released the designer video for the set. LEGO designers Niek van Slagmaat and Mark Tranter talk about the background of the set as well as some of the features of it.

I’ve already completed building it yesterday and I’ll have my review of the set online soon. Voltron will be available for VIPs on July 23 and to the general public on August 1. The set will also be available in limited quantities at San Diego Comic Con next week.

June 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

At long last, LEGO has finally announced the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set and I’m very, very excited for it. The set contains 2,321 pieces and will retail for $179.99 which makes it the largest and most expensive LEGO Ideas set that LEGO has produced. As you can see from the images, Voltron looks amazing and if you’re wondering if it can transform from the five lions to Voltron, yes it can! You’ve probably heard be say it before, but I’m a huge Voltron fan and I will definitely be getting multiples of this set to display them with the lions and the combined form. The LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set will be available starting on July 23 for VIP Early Access and on August 1 for the general public.

LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) Price Reported to be Around 179.99 Euros

March 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There still hasn’t been any information about the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set since it was announced that it would be become an official set until now. A user on Reddit has reported that the set will be 179.99 Euro/829.99 PLN which is equivalent to about $199.99 USD. This will make the LEGO Voltron set the most expensive one for the LEGO Ideas theme.

Because of the rumored price point, we can expect that it will have the most pieces in a LEGO Ideas set considering how big it will be with the five lions. For me personally, I love Voltron and if you somehow found my personal Instagram, you’ll see that I collect a variety of Voltron toys and I’ve been very anxiously waiting for the reveal of the set. The price point won’t probably deter me from picking it up, maybe even two, to display it both in lion mode and in combined mode, however it also may not appeal to others because of the high price point. Since it may be a summer or fall release, hopefully we get to see it at San Diego Comic Con since it’ll be a very worthy set to be on display there.

Another Take on LEGO Voltron: Defender of the Universe

July 8, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you know me well enough, then you would know that I’m a big fan of Voltron: Defender of the Universe. I’ve been collecting Voltron action figures since I was a old enough to know about it from the original lions to the Voltron Vehicle Force (DaiRugger XV).

Since returning to the LEGO community, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with some of the LEGO Voltron MOCs such as the one by len_d69 on LEGO Ideas which is still under consideration to become an official set. The same builder has also created a LEGO version of Voltron Vehicle Force as well.

The newest MOC is by Dennis Qiu and it is equally impressive. This version seems to be based on the Voltron Maquette from Sideshow Collectibles which has their sleeker interpretation of Voltron. One of the more notable differences is the slimmer body that it has compared to the bulkier original version.

Now the only thing I’m pretty much waiting for is the official LEGO Ideas Voltron set to be approved and released.

LEGO Ideas Voltron – Defender of the Universe Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 2, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

With very much hype on social media on the past few weeks, the Voltron – Defender of the Universe project by len_d69 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the popular Japanese anime and is personally one of my favorite shows from the 80’s. It contains all five lions including the black for the head and body, yellow and green for the arms, and blue and yellow for the legs.

Voltron is the first project to qualify for the Second 2015 Review Stage. I usually am not biased on LEGO Ideas projects but this is one that I actually want to see released as an official set.

February 8, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There hasn’t been much LEGO t-shirts available lately but Ript Apparel has a very cool LEGO Voltron minifigure shirt available for 24 hours. The shirt starts at $11 and there are other items available with the design as well including hoodies, posters, coasters, and more. Shipping and handling starts at $2.98 here in the US and is planned to ship out this Friday. As a big fan of the original Voltron series back in the 80s, this shirt is a no-brainer purchase for me especially with the new Netflix series coming later this year as well.

As always, you can help support The Brick Fan buy purchasing the Voltron shirt using the links above.
