robotoy75 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hello, here is my last charming robot before Toymania 8 December in Paris, as every year I will take pictures to share with you this long-awaited moment for us French people, the toys space market is so poor in my country . But the icing on the cake this year is the arrival of Gernot, yeahhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!! Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotoy75 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you very much for your kind words dear Morbius your collection of Robby the robot is realy fantastic Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That means a lot coming from you Alain! First, all the collections are wonderful here, such a diverse universe of great old toys. With yours in particular I just love the colours, variations in your great photos. If I'd listened to Laurie (wife of Morbius) 30 years ago, I wouldn't have given away all those plastic robots of the period, many of which I see on your site. I just didn't connect with them at the time I was picking up everything robot. As a collector, more than a few times I Iooked around the room and said "What have I done"... I've managed to replace a good number of those wonderful plastic items recently including the toys from my great friend George who graciously sold them back to the Morbius Collection, a bunch which I'd paid in trade for a furnace cleaning 10 years ago. They're back home again. Thank you for your comment regarding the Robby-centric bit of the collection. As a recent retiree I thought 'when am I ever going to add this stuff' and went for it. The updates to the collection wouldn't likely have been possible if it weren't for the many many and I mean LOTS of conversations throughout the past year with our own ROBOTHUNTER about adding certain elusive pieces. Can't thank Pat enough for his patience with all that. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotoy75 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hi all, I just got this 008 laser robot with repro box, never I will have imagined one day owning this beautiful robot because my finances are very limited currently, I would like to warmly thank Dirk who has made this possible.

Morbius Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Alain, after perusing your collection carefully yet again and again, your plastics got me so interested in the ones I'd given up in the '70s that I've had lots of fun recently returning them again to my own collection. The colours really rock with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Congrats on the Laser! I'd never seen one in the 'tin' until last Botstock and they are beautiful in that red finish. It's one you really have to see in person to appreciate it fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
