LEGO Ideas Voltron 21311 Building Kit (2321 Pieces) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I had a great time building this. It transforms very easily.

Everything about this build was awesome. It turned out better then I thought it would. Looks so cool.

Excellent service item as described. My son will be so excited on Christmas. Thank you!!

Awesome

Without question, the absolute coolest Lego set ever.

Perfect Lego kit, recommended it

I bought this item from Lego.com instead of Amazon because of out of stock. But this is really recommended for anyone who wants to play Lego with a group and team work.

This is the best lego set out there. Lego could have done a better job on the main wings, but overall this beats any Lego set available. Hold onto it if you already have it as they could be worth $1000s some day.

My 8 yr old son was and still is stoked with this lego set! Its a little pricey but he got it as a birthday gift from his grandparents... not sure I would just buy it otherwise. Legos are overall expensive so we deal.

Without question, I absolutely recommend this set. Whether you are a Voltron fan or not, it is outstanding. I bought this set directly from LEGO on launch day back in July, and Im extremely happy with it. Ive had it for over three months, and I still get a massive kick out of it. I got it during the week and built one lion every night after work, so it took almost a week to finish. If you sit down and do it, you could get it done in a day. Like most LEGO sets, at least the large ones, it comes with numbered bags that are referenced by the instruction books. Yes, books...plural. There are six instruction books, one for each of the five lions, and one for the final Voltron pieces and assembly. Pretty awesome, if you ask me. They really made it easy to put this together (like almost every set of theirs), and that separation of the build made it especially easy for me to do it one chunk at a time. The build starts with the yellow lion, which I have to say is my favorite one because of the coloring. The remaining lions have some differences, but it gets a little bit repetitive in the build in the first four lions. Thankfully, there are some differences, and the colors are all different. The fifth (black) lion is significantly different, as it forms the trunk and head of Voltron and is more massive and rigid than the other four that form the arms and legs. My very first impression, starting with the build of the yellow lion, was the vibrant colors. Im 46, and those colors brought me back to my very first LEGO sets as a kid. Lately, Ive been building some of the UCS Star Wars sets, and the Saturn IV (shown in the pictures for a size reference, as its a meter tall). Those sets are far less colorful. Very cool sets :), yes, but less colorful. This set just brought me back in time to those simpler years, and I love the colors. The four smaller lions have legs and feet that move pretty easily, as well as their tails and heads/mouths. They offer some good playability for younger LEGO fans. The black lion also plays well, but it has less moving parts because its meant to be more structural sound when put into Voltron form. As for the Voltron form - awesome. Just plain awesome. It looks fantastic, and at over 18 tall, its an impressive site. It is pretty rigid, though, so its not really for younger kids to play with. They can, but its more suited for being a display, IMO. Its one heck of a display, though! I admit - I hate stickers in LEGO sets. Luckily, this only had five stickers in the whole thing, and they are the numbers 1 through 5 that go on to the lions. You dont need to apply them, but Im a stickler for following instructions, and they werent difficult to apply. There are some nice videos of this set (and many LEGO sets) on YouTube if you want to check it out before buying. If you didnt know, you can become a LEGO VIP member on their website for free, and that sometimes gets you early access to new sets before the general public can buy them. Thats how I was able to order this a week before the official launch. Again, its totally free to become a VIP member. Ive always had great luck in ordering from LEGO in terms of prompt shipping and having everything show up in great condition. Ive also ordered several LEGO sets from Amazon and had great luck, too. In conclusion, I dont think that youll be disappointed in this set. Its not inexpensive (at least at the moment, with the original $180 price), but its under the typical 10 cents/piece price point, and its an awesome set. Highly, highly recommended.
