delayed until MAY! :frowning: :frowning:

Maybe the delay has something to do with FOD!!!

Aw, fuck, man. Two more months?

Wait...make that two-and-a-HALF more months. You'd think they'd have enough of these in the pipeline by now to create a "buffer" (unless it's another collector's tin shortage-type of situation).

At this rate, we won't get the Vehicle Voltron DVDs until the year 2019.

 

[Richard_Gregory]

Yow! May!

Oh well; plenty of other stuff to buy in the meantime!

The MediaBlasters site which is offering the set for sale is STILL advertising the 2/27 date. Could they be releasing the set earlier exclusively through their site and just have delayed the retail version two and a half months?

Maybe delay it for 1-2 weeks, but 2 1/2 months? no way

PRE-ORDER. UPDATED! -SHIPS 5/7/07-. Voltron, Vol. 3: Green Lion (3pc) (1986)


official page updated as well

A new piece up at TVShowsonDVD.com which goes into further detail on the reasons for the delay...apparently, Media Blasters were at first claiming that it was a "wait-'till-we-have-enough-supply-to-meet-the-demand" thing, but now it's due to "materials issues" (more collector's tin problems?):

Reportedly, World Events wasn't too thrilled with the delay-decision, but are going with it. Media Blasters are fairly notorious for their holdups; I'm quite happy with the quality of the restored episodes thus far, and I'm willing to wait, but again....it's pushing those highly-coveted Vehicle Voltron DVDs back further and further and further.

Just to let people know, today I got a shipping notice for Voltron Volume 3 DVD set from the online Voltron store so it may be arriving three weeks early for everyone who went through the site.

Can anyone identify this clip?



is there a new Voltron out? with new animation?

 

[David Lambert]

Per Jeremy at WEP:

That answer your question?

 

[Demis G]

Yeap! Thanks a lot David!
It looked like Voltron got an "animation facelift" just like "He-Man and The Masters of the Universe" had in 2002

 

[Demis G]

as TVShowsOnDVD reported here is the red lion but in higher resolution and size

 

[tjguitar85]

Am I the only one where Voltron just didn't age very well?

I have the first two lion sets but I just couldn't sit through them after all these years.

 

[Demis G]

No problem here.. watched them like it was the first time

 

[Demis G]

According to TVSODVD, "The Fleet of Doom" is released tomorrow Tuesday exclusively by the online Voltron.com shop for $19

When I tried to checkout with International shipping imagine my surprise when I saw the shipping fee!

Shipping Method Price International Economy$64.05International Priority$67.29

Are they CRAZY? I will wait for it to show up on eBay.. exclusive my a..

 

[Richard_Gregory]

That's just plain STUPID.

Most DVD stores - like DVDPacific, DeepDiscount, Amazon - charge around $1-3 per disc for economy service (which is standard international surface mail).

That price is ludicrous, and is plainly anything but "economy". It is obviously something like FedEx Priority.

 

[Will_C]

Ordered mine for $25.25 shipped USPS Priority. However, one section of the Voltron website says expected ship date 6/26/07 and the order page says ships 7/6/07. As long as I get it soon, I'll be happy.

 

[Demis G]

Video on the Voltron webstore REVEALS final 5th volume. Strange thing is that it wont be black -resembling to the 5th black lion- but instead Golden with a red stripe !



Go to Voltron.com > Watch and see the video!

 

[Will_C]

Now the ship date says 7/9/07. Hope it gets out soon without flaws in the disc. But if there's a problem, I guess I'd rather wait for things to be corrected rather than get a crappy dvd.
