From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend. The legend of Voltron: Defender of the Universe! A mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil. A force of space explorers, Kieth, Lance, Hunk, Pidge, and Sven are sent to find the last princess of planet Arus, Allura, and the keys to Voltron. Together they find the five robot lions that make up the legendary robot. King Zarkon, an evil warlord, rains down destruction across the universe. But our heroes form Voltron at the last moment, and begin a new war against his cruel empire.

Summary: Wow...much different then when I was a kid!
Comment: When I was a child I thought this was a great cartoon. Now 20+ years later I felt that I was jipped. Don't get me wrong...still a great cartoon but now I want the original Japanese uncut version :)

Summary: Voltron is a great cartoon!
Comment: Voltron is a great cartoon! I can't stress enough how good Lion Force Voltron really is. the Voltron Lion Force first 15 episodes are in this Tin DVD set! Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) does the narration for the cartoon series. Keith,Lance,Pig,Hunk, Sven,are the five space explores sent from Galaxy Garrison to bring Lion Voltron back to Planet Arus. If you remember 1980s cartoons, this is dvd set worth having to bring back those childhood memories! A

Summary: The first DVD box set for Lion Force Voltron
Comment: This three-disc box set contains the first fifteen episodes of the Lion Force Voltron series. The first two discs each contain six episodes, while the third disc contains three episodes and the special features.
When I watched this set, I noticed on the second DVD that some of the episodes looked a little fuzzy. This is probably due to the fact that Media Blasters had to use the best masters they could find. While video restoration can clean up some imperfections, it can't completely compensate for a lesser-quality master tape source. However, outside of those episodes on the second disc, the rest of the episodes looked rather decent.
There are five special features included on this set. The first is "Original Pilot: The Voltron Trilogy." This is two different versions of the pilot episode, both of which are different from what ended up being the first episode of Lion Force Voltron. The first version of the pilot is drastically different from the final product. The second version is a lot closer to what ended up becoming the first episode, but there are still some noticeable changes.
There are staff interviews, which help to shed some light on how the dubbing, writing, and production for Voltron was handled. Another feature explains how Media Blasters ended up having to use the original masters from Beast King GoLion in order to put these Voltron sets together. There's also "Robot Chicken: You Got Robo Served," a segment from Robot Chicken that features the Voltron toys.
For fans of Voltron, not only can you get the first fifteen episodes of the Lion Force series on DVD, but you can also gain insight into how the Voltron series came to be. This DVD set should really be in the collection of anyone who is a fan of Voltron.

Summary: VOLTRON: Intelligent Sci-Fi cartoon
Comment: They just don't make em like this anymore. Voltron had good animation, good characters, and intelligent plots (season 3 much better than 1). Like He-Man, and Thundercats, Voltron is a basic story about "good" defenders of freedom VS "evil" conquerers. In my opinion, Voltron has the most entertaining evil characters. In particular, I really like Haggar (the evil witch). I actually find myself cheering for Haggar and Lotor more than Voltron (as the Voltron force is objectively nerdy and annoying).

Summary: Blast from the past
Comment: This is a godsend to all who grow up watching the show after school back in the mid 80's. Set is very nice I have all 5 and have watched them all the way through. FLAWLESS in my opion. Just might make you go out and buy a 130$ masterpiece voltorn off ebay. DOn't say I didn't warn you. Hope a toy line comes back out with this great toy so mom's and dad's buying this for thier lil guys can get the toy to without having to pay a arm and a leg for the collectible ones
