Voltron Lego that I BUILT back in the 1980s i FINALLY found this treasure i had hidden away. I built this back in the 1980s...and i think the detail was great for especially during that time. i know the colors are way off on some things, but back then we could special order pieces, and i was a kid, so i had to do the best with what i had. all things considering, i am really proud of this, more pix here: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=296826

Absolutely brilliant! Love it! I used to play Lego a lot too! Never got around building mecha replicas, though. I remember one time I tried to build the Yamato spaceship... not enough pieces!!! Anyway that's really a treasure you have... But how did you stick the head in?

I had built a lego vehicle voltron back in the early eighties as well. I took it apart, but did manage to take a couple of pictures of it. I wish I could find those pictures!

Mannix. I love the Voltron. When I was a kid I did the same thing. I would try and recreate all of the super robots. The only thing I would say is...............It's OK to admit that you still play with legos.............I still do, only now it's with my nephews. We all know that you built that Voltron last week. ............lol Just playing with ya!!!!

Falconhood, that is really nice! I recently read that Lego just had their 50th anniversary. All this Lego talk, and your awesome pic, make me want to dig out my old ones and build something! ;D
