The Voltron Collection is a set of eight DVD Region 1 box sets that together contain the full set of episodes of the Voltron: Defender of the Universe television show. It has released by Media Blasters under their Anime Works label.
Box sets 1-5 contain the set of Lion Force episodes. Sets 6-8 contain the Vehicle Force episodes.
Episodes and Release Dates[]
Note for box sets 6, 7 and 8: While the included booklet uses the standard episode numbering, the discs themselves use a Vehicle-Force-only numbering, labeling the first Vehicle episode as 1. This makes it rather annoying to match an episode on the disc with its summary in the booklet. The alternate Vehicle Force numbering is provided below for these box sets.
