Roboto Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Great pics, really love that original style Lava Lamp on the left with the star cutouts on the base. True classic and have one on our mantle in blue/white blobs. Apparently the same family is still making these as they have for about 50 years.Many of the Vintage lamps like Robots are going up in price. And like Robots are becoming harder to find. Both hold there values for many many years and will continue to do so. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Roboto, welcome to the club! I'm new in the neighborhood myself. Nice tin, and I like the mood lighting, lends that otherworldly effect to your photos. Incidentally, you're the first lava lamp collector I've met, but I like them too having lived through the 70's (what I can remember anyway). My favorite is the bulbous rocket shaped one with the Dalek, really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another world of its own that is wonderful. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I finished a display of 60's-70's-80's and 90's lamps with their robot helper's . Will post later my new finds a New silver Mechanized robby and a new olive green robby Billiken robot. One place on line still had 2 Osaka silver ones left.

Electric Robot and Son Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Nice pair of Robbys! But be careful! If the lava leaks from the lamps you could have molten robby meltdowns! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I got lucky with this Silver Mechanized one. Found it online thru a shop that had 2 new in box left to sell. It says only 50 made in this color on the card. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Finally got an Olive green Robby Billiken. They are one great tin robot to own. I have asked this question before and have looked the best I can thru this site and did a search thru google. How many were made of this Billiken series. I did find out thur this site that only a few came with the Planet earth blaster. Thanks to Morbius for the answer on the raygun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have added my Favorite Star Wars character to my collection now. Boba Fett made in 1998 by OTTI. For a wind up he is quite heavy and has lots of detail. And the first one I have with the ID card made out of tin. He is 1392 out of the 2000 run.The lamp is my own creation. Even the head is made of tin. The only vinyl is the hands and blaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
