Voltron Volume 6 (Vehicle Voltron)

Received my advanced copy of this, the 6th volume of the Voltron animated series today and have been enjoying every moment of this collection. While much debate exists as to which version of Voltron was superior, in truth the source material was actually two entirely separate Japanese series. WEP, through some slick editing, was able to turn Dairugger XV into what we now know as Vehicle Voltron back in the mid 1980s. This DVD set represents the first foray of the Voltron franchise devoted exclusively to Vehicle Voltron.

When compared to the original incarnation, Vehichle Voltron strays a but farther from the fantasy roots of GoLion (Lion Force here in the States) in favor of a more science-fiction based approach. The visual quality and presentation is easily on par with WEP's volume 1-5 releases with the Air Team (Strato Fighter) gracing the cover.

Included on this set is the following:
Episodes 73-90 of the series (450 minutes total run time)
Remastered film transfer from the original 35mm stock
5.1 Surround Sound Mix
The Vehichle Voltron pilot
Featurette: Vehicle Voltron Fans Unite
Team Up Clips
Full episode synopsis with original air dates

While this box set is surrounded by enthusiasm as it represents the first DVD release devoted entitrely to Vehichle Voltron, WEP isn't letting the dust settle for long before following up with the next box, Volume 7 which is set to be released on January, 13 2009. Like Volume 6, this will be another Vehicle Voltron exclusive set with The Land Team (Turbo Terrain Fighter) on the cover. Can't wait!

Amazon just cancelled the order I placed for this in October. I guess this has been delayed since I've been unable to find this anywhere. Anybody heard of when this will be coming out?

is this release date correct? everyother place ive tried ordering from says its been delayed till the end of december. even a search on google comes up with reports of a delay from media works. can anyone confirm that they have this?

Yes, the Lion Force Voltron series was the most popular and probably the most memorable and loved out of the series.. But I am glad the Vehicle Force Voltron series is coming out on DVD because I think that now as an adult I can probably enjoy it more for its SciFi centric story lines. As a child I was confused by it and never bothered to get into it.

I am beyond happy that this is being released,,if only i could go back and should all those people that didnt belive that there were two voltorns,,,,lol
great series more then worth the buy
