This would be the real Voltron, of course. The one with lions.
Voltron fans waiting to get their hands on a Lego set based on the ’80s cartoon and more recent Netflix series won’t have to sit tight much longer.
It’ll be available for purcha[s]e early at San Diego Comic-Con in July, Syfy Wire reported Thursday. The number of sets will be limited, though. The Lego website shows the set will cost $179.99 and be available to everyone else on Aug. 1.
Although if you’ve got $180 for that, you probably have $350 for THIS:
I won’t put up the diecast ones because if you have that kind of money then you should be contributing to my Patreon. Or somebody else’s Patreon, sure. My point is, a thousand bucks is a lot of freaking money. Possibly a bit too much for even a diecast metal Voltron with detachable lion heads.
…Oh, well, at least they’re not spending it on cocaine.

PS: I care if people spend it on cocaine because people on cocaine often decide that they’re good to drive. Your right to snort blow ends where my headlights begin. But if that’s not you — not that I can imagine any of my readers doing the stuff — then we’re good.
Anybody who would spend 1000 dollars on a toy has probably made other questionable life decisions as well, and there’s a good chance cocaine was involved.
You are kidding on the die cast toy, right?

I went and double checked, but the die cast Voltron is one of two toys I have managed to keep since the mid 80’s. I also still have the Transformers Jetfire (which looked like it was a toy that was exactly the same as one for Robotech.)

One of these days, I should get this stuff looked at along with the couple hundred 1970s-late 80s Iron Man comics I have.
This isn’t that. This is the toy that they sell to people who didn’t keep their die cast toys when they were kids and now have the discretionary cash to do something about that,
