Morbius Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Love seeing the quality of the robots and boxes you're adding RoboDerby, that's the way to go as far as I'm concerned. I learned that in my earliest days of collecting from articles by F.H. Griffith in the '70s and early '80s, he said "Better to have a dozen MIMB items than 500 pieces of junk". These articles were printed a few years after I'd started with a few pieces of 'junk' on my shelves. I've followed that since and never regretted it, I actually turned down some great 'bots at toy shows as they didn't have the box but that's just me. Those cabinets are looking wonderful, great range of items there keep up the great work I can see the passion in there! Always fun to see. The Beetles' boxes I haven't seen often, great artwork.

6Stelab9 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 They are weird creatures. My favorite is the second one. I don't think it's often seen. I really like the box artworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDerby Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Woohoo! Today I received this fantastic boxed example of Mr. Flash. So cool to see it next to Brian’s Manmos King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Nice Jeremy, a boxed example too! The Mr. Flash illustration always appealed to me despite its relatively crude style in comparison to Japanese box art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboDerby Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Photo session of some new arrivals. April 8 will be the one year anniversary of the purchase of my first toy robot, a junker Attacking Martian that is now fully disassembled and stripped of paint to be a future project. After nearly a year into the hobby, I am most proud of my collection of around 120 pieces featuring vintage toys, a most respectable collection of Riggbots, some Hayes bots, PapaSans, some lovely Andybots and a handful of Marco’s creations as well. In addition, I have been working on my own robot projects and ideas. Unfortunately for now, I might be forced to take a break from adding to the cabinets considering my current circumstances. As Corona madness takes over here in the US, nearly all film production work has been halted and the looming threat of a writer’s strike in May only adds to the worries of the folks in my industry. Fingers crossed this will not also mean giving up my other hobbies like eating food and living indoors. Kidding....I hope. With all of this going on, it was a welcome ray of sunshine to receive four wonderful new additions from Paul. I decided to pull out my “real” camera and do a little photo shoot with the new arrivals and some friends. Enjoy! Thank you Paul!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Glad they all arrived safely, not to mention very quickly! Fantastic photos jeremy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thanks for sharing the photos Jeremy. The PapaSan monster robots and Brian's Diamond Planet 3D creations are definitely standouts! To aquire and display about 120 robots in a one year period is a pretty amazing accomplishment. You've got a great collection as is but as we all know too well there is always another one that we'd like to add... Best of luck on the projects and let's hope we get through the Corona madness as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John built another similar pneumatic mod from a Planet Robot. This one sits on my shelves as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
