dratomic Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I just got an SY W Sparking robot and I'm trying to figure out whether it's the Japanese or Argentinian version. It says "Made in Japan" on the back, which, of course, makes me think it's Japanese. However, does anyone know whether the Argentinian version has "Made in Japan" written on it as well? I know that might be odd, but maybe it was a REALLY accurate repro... If both have "Made in Japan" written on them, are there any other ways to tell which version's which?If I've learned anything from being on this forum, it's that just because something SAYS it's made in Japan/original/vintage/etc doesn't mean that it's actually the case.

SH MIKE Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I have two copies of Japanese Robots Made In Argentina and they both say "Made In Argentina" on them. My guess it that after the run in Japan, the molds were sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dratomic Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 The Alphadrome "Robots" page mentions a variation on the W robot that seems to have arms like the one in the picture... Unfortunately, the entry's image isn't loading, so it's hard to tell if this is the robot being described.Brian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Yes, I must repair those links. The variation I mention is definitely not the one in the photo, which appears to be a home made modification. However, there's always a chance it's a rare one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
