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

For 2017 it was either the Saturn V Rocket or the Ninjago Destinys Bounty, but this Voltron is easily my 2018 favorite set. Before this my favorite was probably the ship in the bottle for just being unique. How can anything compare to Voltron made of Lego that transforms? An off-brand made brick Transformers a couple years back. I hated them. They didnt transform! You had to build the set as the robot or the vehicle and then rebuild to transform. That is horrible! Its so awesome that this transforms. It takes a minute longer than regular Voltron toys, but its very easy to transform. Ive shown quite a few people this set and theyve all been impressed with the Voltron robot. Then their eyes have bugged out when I showed them it transforms. It takes a lot more work to design a transforming Lego set. Its huge. Its bigger than the original Voltron toys! For Lego, its detailed. The lions look great separate and combined. The four appendage lions are very similar, but they each have their own personality too. It was also a lot of fun to build. The instructions are great. I love how all four lions can be built separately and in different sessions. You get sixteen bags of Lego with each lion build in separate bags. My kids and I built them together and each of them built a lion with my help. It is better to display than to play with. There is limited articulation especially in combined form. The arms have pretty good articulation (whole arm turns, elbow bends, and wrist moves). There is no twist except in the wrist. The legs have no articulation. I believe that is the price you have to pay for a Lego Voltron that stands as sturdy as this. Since I want to display it on a shelf, I prefer sturdy legs. I just want to be clear so its not a disappointment to you. It should make you sad because its still very impressive. The individual lions are more articulate, too. Its a great set. It will be remembered for a long time. I cant think of an official set that does something as cool as Voltron transforming. The closest I can think of is the unofficial Sisyphus build. Voltron is an enjoyable build. Since it can transform, its really cool to display and show off. I totally suggest this!

This Lego kit was epic. I highly encourage slow building this kit as each lion is a unique build with its own instructions that takes about 45 to 90 minutes for the average 10 year old. We built one lion a day and looked forward to the final build of Voltron on day 5. If you grew up watching the 80s show you will not be disappointed.

This set was a blast to put together and it rounds out my Voltron collection nicely. I wish it was modeled after the new Voltron, but I was still able to learn about the original while building it. The last booklet includes backstories on the characters and original show!

Bought as a gift for my husband. LEGO is always a hit.

Perfect Lego kit, recommended it

Loved it! My childhood Memories came rushing back. It was really fun putting it together.

Voltron is so iconic, and Im so happy that Lego has produced this incredibly faithful rendering of our DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: -A fun build. The bags are spaced nicely so you dont feel overwhelmed by each lion. Because you build lions one by one, you get a sense of accomplishment on a regular basis. The final assembly is where the big payoff is, but its honestly a blast to put together. -It looks stunning. Honestly, when you have this bad mamma jamma in real life sitting on your shelf or display case, he is big, colorful, and stunning. When people walk in my office, its the first Lego set they notice. (thats right, I have Legos in my office, what of it?) -Great value. At about 180 bucks this prices lower than some 200 dollar sets that, in my opinion, arent quite as impressive. Cons: No mini figs. Thats the only con I can think of. I get that it would be really hard to build pods for them to fit in, but honestly Id have been happy with paying 200 bucks and getting a collectors plaque with five mini figs I could stick in front. At the end of the day, Voltron is enough though, and this one issue isnt enough to take a star away in my review. Overall verdict: If you love Legos and love Voltron (or mechs of any kind,) what more is there to say? This is an amazing buy.

Well all i can say is he loves it and hes a huge nerd

This is the perfect set for our son who LOVES Legos and Transformers. He is really too young to do this set on his own (hes only 6), but with adult help and several days of assembly, we were able to finish this set. My son is pretty mechanically inclined, so hes able to take everything apart into the 5 individual lions and also reassemble it back into Voltron. He really enjoyed putting this together and he loves playing with it with his other transformer toys.

Awesome set! All lions are assembled separately, then can be assembled into the big robot. Great time building it and remembering watching the show when I was a kid.
