For displaying mine I think I will try to do a combat scene. I have a "monster" that I found at Walmart and with a little work and some paint should make a decent robeast for Voltron to fight.

So I gather everyone has now gotten their Voltron's. Now I need an new thread here to check in on everyday. This one should be closed soon. It is almost sad to see it go.

Hey guys! Just a change of subject here. A few pages back I had asked what you guys would recommend for a robeast to display vs Voltron. I thought about the larger Inhumanoids, but decided against them, but did find theses guys at my local Walmart. They are a bit plain, but with a little paint might just do for a robeast. Whatcha think?? Here is the link to the toys they stand as tall VV. www.walmart.ca/en/ip/max-steel-deluxe-figures-water-elementor/1255208104300

Anyone have any good ideas for a robeast for Voltron to fight? Something about the same size and looks like it would fit in a shelf display.

Maybe send some emails in CollectionDX's way so they can see whats going on. After all they did promote Toyfreakz in the begining and I'm sure, many, like me placed an order with TF after seeing the spot on CollectionDX!

So is there nothing in the Visa conduct laws that you can go after him for fraud? He did take your money with the understanding that he would deliver a product to you? If not Visa what about the Better Business Bureau?

I took some pics of the swords, but cant seem to figure out how to post. It tells me that they are too big. They are set on the lowest settings my camera has and it has a specific setting for email, ect.

The other day I finally opened my Toyfreakz Voltron and now compared the 2 that I have. The 2nd one came from luxury_malls from ebay back in October. As in all Voltron boxes there were 3 swords. The silver chrome, the blue, and the gold. The one from luxury_malls has a gold chrome sword while the TF version has a gold painted sword. Were there several different versions of the swords made??

Hey guys! I finally got around to opening my "ToyFreakz Edition" Vehicle Voltron. It seemed to be ok then I assembled Voltron. There were a couple of minor things. 1st on the air team torso part, you have to rotate the treads by pushing the button in his chest. I did it, and turned the treads, which split apart and one half flew across the room. it seems that they did not glue the 2 halves together. Next I continued on and put the jet on his chest which clicked into place and then fell off. The chest magnet was not glued into its spot either. lol. So a little bit of glue and everything seems to be ok once again.

As more people start getting their Vehicle Voltrons hopefully the tone of this thread will change to how cool this toy actually is. We finally have a highly detailed, highly articulated die cast metal Vehicle Voltron! Here is a picture of my Toynami Masterpiece Voltron with my new MP Vehicle Voltron along with my Legacy Megazord Sabertooth Tiger I have been customizing. The cool thing is that it looks like they all scale well with each other. I have added some white stickers on both sides of the wings of Lion Voltron as well as added panel lining on all the lions. I also fixed it so the wings fold "the right way" on the back of the Black Lion. I still have to paint the handle of the Blazing Sword. I plan on adding some panel lining on all the veihicles of Vehicle Voltron as well as added some paint details such as the missing white stripes on the head as well as adding canopies to the blue subs that make up the legs as well as other little details here and there to really help define each vehicle. As seen with Sabertooth Tiger I have added some panel lines which really help bring out the details in the legs. It's my hope to have all 3 robots done soon and post the pictures. As with everything finding the time is the hard thing but at least I have all 3 robots in hand. If someone can do a highly detailed and articulated Mighty Orbots in die cast, I would finally have all my favorite combining robots from my childhood. Where are you getting the reference materials to customize your VV? I have been thinking about do the same thing, but have not had much luck in finding any good detailed reference pics.

OK so after receiving my VV from luxury_malls yesterday, I finally opened the box and put him together. Now, I'm not sure if because I've read this thread that I was a little critical as I took each peice out of the individual bags or not, but like as reported there are a few little paint flaws/sloppy apps here and there (ie. a small black smudge on the yellow foot and a little sloppy around the windshield of the red chopper)but over all I am pleased with this figure! The only gripe other then mentioned is, I wish there was a way to lock the wheels on the feet into a non rolling position. I might have to make some "wheel chocks" for displaying him. lol.

I received my VV from luxury_malls (ebay seller) today. I opened the boxes but have not unpackaged it yet. Probably do that tomorrow. I think I might have "performance anxiety" LOL

Hey guys, as I mentioned over in the other VV thread, I did cancel, but my order was "completed" a week after I canceled. So I guess I am in the "order completed, but not received" category?? lol
