Morbius Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 The Lantern Robot is really a nice teal-type colour. Hard to describe. :P He works really smoothly and the lantern really lights up a big beam in the dark.I finally got my little THUNDER ROBOT this year to go with my Robby.

Bob B. Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Congratulations Altaira! That's a beauty I'll bet. Very nice to see a young person like yourself enjoying this hobby--Bob B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Thank you! I'm getting all my friends to check out the robot sites and they're enjoying looking at them and some of them are buying robots too! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Your daughter must be preteen going on 30. She has a nice variety in her collection. I love it when young girls are interested in scifi and space related items.Enjoy your time together. Unfortunately, my daughter is long gone and working on her masters in social work. But she always had a great imagination in her writing and art. I think your slogan is so true. It's not any fun being normal and sane.[sorry, I must have cut off some of my message. Obviously my photo is an Erector set item I assembled and is 25" tall. I have a fascination for Erector robots. I found out the 12-1/2 set with a motor drive robot is pretty pricy at up to $1,000-$1,500. in excellent condition. Phil Redman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 (Morbius)Thank you Phil! Altaira thanks you! She gave a fun-filled shriek at your Meccano 'bot. She really got a kick out of it and said, "I want one"!! My brother had those sets in the late '50's and early 60's and we had a ball with them.She's been around these type of toys all her life and learned to appreciate them early on and she has always been there during the twice-yearly run of the vintage 'bots and she's pointed out many times when I had a thought to sell or trade something, "....that toy's not going anywhere...they're here forever"!!Just my luck, 2 collectors in the family of these toys and 1 a collector of needlepoints and stitcheries and cookbooks! (Altaira's a great cook, too just like her mom and grandma)!! I've said to her that when her mom and I are gone, she'd better move into our house. It'll be easier than packing the whole works and movin' it!!! :lol:Thanks for the nice pic and an interesting job well done.....Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Altara - I like the Mainstreet Toys version of the Planet Robot box better than the regular Ha Ha version. I have never seen this box until you posted it - thanks!!. I’ve been admiring your robot collection for some time now and I thought it was about time I said so! What a great head start you have on all of us (except for David Kirk who I believe has been collecting robots continuously since he was a young boy) and just think how wonderful your collection will be when you are an my age. Thanks for sharing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thank you, Fineas! I love this box the most.
