Ok, most of this thread may be very un-Voltron but I'll go ahead and post the Voltron part first. It most likely will be very long, but still read it. First off, how many LV episodes did they make? I've always known it to be 72, but now I'm hearing so much different crap I don't know what to believe anymore. And anyone know when the final two volumes of the DVDs will be released?
Now the non-Voltro part. Does anyone know a very, very good place to buy anime online? Because stores I go to just plain suck. FYE is the only good store but they blow too. And WTF is up with all the stupid high prices for anime now? I can buy 15 episodes of Voltron for 25 bucks. Yet yesterday, I was going to buy a Full Metal Panic DVD set but it cost 23 bucks for only 3 episodes! You're kidding right?!?!? I ended up buying Tenchi Muyo, since my love for that show always ends up pwning everything else, and I got 4 episodes for $21. That's still very high. I must say, the quality is also somewhat poor as the subtitles are off a lot (I like subtitiles but anyways they are off espicially for the credits end song. Hell, the subtitles for the credits end song are that for a some other song!)and at the end of every episode, they preview the next one but on the DVD, there is no sound or narration at all. I can't even find box sets of shows I like and if I do, they're overpriced like hell. Is it that hard to have a box set of Zoids, Tenchi, Full Metal Panic, and so on? I know there are box sets (I just came off Tenchi's official site and they have box sets of every Tenchi series and a set for all 3 movies) so why the hell don't these stores have them? So please, if you know any really, really, very, very good online stores, I will appreciate it if you told me them.

If you're not comfortable with the somewhat less-than-legal methods of obtaining anime online for free, buying used is the way to go. If you search Amazon for the title you want, it will often come up with prices for new as well as used items (at significantly less than retail--I got all 26 episodes of Fruits Basket for $15.99). I have never had an issue with quality or delivery ordering used; all you have to do is look at the seller's feedback rating. Ebay and half.com are also good options.

There were 124 Voltron episodes, not counting the Fleet Of Doom special.

LV had 72 episodes.
VV had 52 episodes.

www.deepdiscountdvd.com is the way to go if you are buying anime online. DO NOT buy used from someone online, for you never know the condition it is going to come, nor if it is a bootleg or not, especially if it is from those lowlife sellers on Amazon.

Thanks guys. I searched Best Buy online and surprisingly, they had all Tenchi box sets. But they're not available at stores close to me. I think my stores suck becuase I live in CT. Pfft, they're hopeless. Anyways, most lack descriptions on Best Buy and my friends and I know Best Buy when it comes to lack of description (or poor). You have no idea how many times we've been screwed buying something from them when they had a poor description. Sure, the image for the set is the same but hell, I've had bad luck in the past so I'm reluctant. I'm going to try www.deepdiscountdvd.com. I hope others will chime in with their fav online stores. I'm just glad no one posted anything that would have started my 300th (no exaggeration) bitching on how TV sucks and the kickass Cartoon Network we knew is no more. The saying "Good Things Don't Last" holds true sadly.
Hopefully that store and others will help me re-live the best shows ever and put me in good moods. When I think of TV now and all the kickass shows that can only be viewed by buying DVDs (that's a good thing, you'll have a collection and get to watch them whenever you want!) and how they aren't on air anymore and they've been replaced by the most retarded shows ever, it makes me sad and pissed as hell. TV blows. I'm starting to bitch again huh? I better stop before I write a 10 page rant.

Huh, I had no idea this was such a not-done thing. Like I said, I've never had a problem.

Go here dude. http://www.rightstuf.com/

Thanks a lot guys. I've now spent about $200 and I'm no where near done. But I don't care. I must get my anime NOW . $20 of those $200 went towards V.3 of LV
