"A love letter to the 1980s animated series that earns its keep through clever engineering and powerful nostalgia: Voltron's 99% owner recommendation rate and 4.81 average from over 1,000 buyers towers above its BrickScore of 79.7, making it one of those rare sets where fan enthusiasm clearly carries the day."
The LEGO Ideas Voltron set earns a BrickScore of 79.7 (Recommended) and is embraced overwhelmingly by fans of the 1980s animated series as a superb piece of nostalgia-driven design. Owner sentiment is extraordinarily positive: 4.81 out of 5 from 1,014 ratings, with 99% of LEGO.com buyers recommending it and value for money at 4.72 out of 5, substantially outpacing the critical consensus score. Reviewers praise the satisfying five-lion build structure, the solid combined form, and the clever engineering required to make individual lions combine into a cohesive robot, while the lack of pilot minifigures and modest playability when fully assembled are the most common criticisms.
Where they split: The one notable tension is between the critical BrickScore (79.7) and owners' near-perfect ratings (4.81, 99% recommend), reflecting that fans of the source material are far more forgiving of the set's limitations than a pure design critique would suggest. The lack of pilot minifigures is a real gap that critics note but fans seem to overlook in light of the overall package.

Voltron is an overwhelmingly praised LEGO Ideas set that delivers on nostalgia and engineering ambition, with nearly universal enthusiasm from adult fans tempered only by limited articulation and the absence of minifigures.
