I realized after I got done I forgot to carry on about the lions found with red launching buttons. I’ll have to do a part 3 anyway for the weapons/accessories, so I’ll get the red launcher buttons in that video.
I'm in Taiwan right now. Any special place I can go to get discount LIONBOT complete sets? I see sellers on ebay from here but wondering if there's a Voltron Mecca somewhere.... ehehehe
like your video, but i am not used to so many words...i dont want to sound stupid, i did put it on 2X speed and it helped. usually if someone has trouble with too many words, they cant handle 2X speed.
Well the older ones are a better quality overall, but the current Lionbot versions are also a quality toy. The older ones just have better paint applications usually nicer chrome, and more diecast on the black lion. But the current Taiwan version is a nice toy if you’re just wanting to get one at a good price.
I keep hearing about the metal Voltrons. My father tells me there was a metal version. Other ppl tell me stories about one as well. I don’t seem to find that version. Any truth to it?
All of the Lionbots in this video are metal. The term Chogokin describes the die-cast metal giant robot toys from Japan in the 80’s and other die cast toys from that period.
@@leekhan8948 sorry for the late response- that's correct! It just means die-cast, basically. The old lionbot, MATCHBOX voltron III, and golions; all are chogokin. As are several other Japanese robot toys.
chogokin chogokin You are referring to the Lions5in1. I had a few but had to sell them off. And I kick myself everyday. I did a video on them luckily before I sold them, that is in my prior videos.
killerpitdbo I think randomly the v-crest set and/or diamond belt set had chrome tails on blue lion. It’s just another one of Diecast Metals variants or even part mixups done there. Besides the current/standard Lionbots, i’ve never seen the older ones really consistent. And that can even be to prior set owners mixing sets up or replacing lions or parts.
Was watching your videos because my Dad been wanting an old Voltron like he used to have your videos where extremely helpful on what I need to been looking for. Thanks a ton 👍🏻
Thank you so much! I wish I could make more but RU-vid blocked me from adding more videos because I didn’t have enough subscribers during their grandfather period. So now I just have to wait for more subscribers or start a new channel.
Matthew Trotter Best to search eBay or you can order a set from direct from Taiwan at: ebay.com/usr/animetropolis. His name is Jason. He moved there from the US to deal toys. He deals directly with the factory that makes Lionbots, and can sell you just the red and green lions. You’ll have to buy the whole lion though as he won’t just sell the heads.
