I have a "funny" story about Voltron. I had both of them when I was kid. I'm not sure how many people know there was another version with cars. I didn't have plans to ever get rid of them as most kids don't. The summer after I turned 11 I went on a summer trip with my grandparents. After I got home my parents were telling me about the things I missed. One of them being a yard sale for my Boy Scout troop. Apparently one of the things that was fun to watch was the adults try to figure out how to put Voltron together. At first I laughed and said yeah, that had to be funny. Then it hit me.... they went through my room while I was gone and got rid of stuff they didn't think I needed. So along with my original Voltron they also got rid of my original Optimus Prime and a couple other Transformers. Pissed would be an understatement to how I was feeling.So much of what's already been said. Super Soakers, Trains, micromachines, legos, gameboy. Tons of pickup football, street hockey, biking, etc. One toy I wish I still had was the diecast Voltron.
A long time later they got me a replacement Voltron set, but it's just not the same.
