Product Description

The Galaxy Alliance's home planets have become overcrowded, and a fleet of explorers has been sent to search for new planets to colonize. Along the way, they attract the attention of the evil Drule Empire, long engaged in an ongoing war against the Alliance, and the Drules proceed to interfere in the mission of the explorers and the colonists. Since the Voltron of Planet Arus was too far away to help the explorers, a totally new Voltron is constructed to battle the Drule threat.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Many of Us, This Was a Long Time Coming, November 28, 2008

By	ONENEO (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Voltron Volume 6, January 19, 2009

By	Christopher V. Shaw "Vaughn Shaw" (Yongsan, Korea) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Love it! Love it! Love it! Before the cheesy Power Rangers, there was Voltron Defender of the Universe. Can't wait to collect the remaining volumes. This is one of the top cartoons of the 80's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Grail , February 5, 2009

By	Timothy Reilly - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When for the first time I saw Voltron - Defender of the Universe - Collection One: Blue Lion on the shelves, I felt shock, awe, and, excitement as My heart began to palpitate rapidly. A day long waited had finally come! But I was at a disadvantage because I did not own a personal DVD player. I then understood what I had to do. Man!!...There is justice! But My endeavour is not reached. I, like the rest You Voltron Fans could barely sleep,... obsessed until the last installment of Sea Team episodes were released and in My possession added to My Cartoon Treasure Trove. Relieved that the date was not moved again. They are finally released!
The episodes of Volume VI,VII, and VIII themselves are Great but Greatness has no limits. The Lion Voltron episodes are far Superior.
