dieselbot Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have been lurking for a while on this site and decided to make some posts. I have been into antique toys for the past 30 years or so. I was mostly into toy cars and trucks. Once in a while I would stumble across a space toy but didn't take much notice. A broken Hap Hazard or something like that. Two or three years ago, I was at an antique show where a antique dealer had an entire tin robot collection for sale at his table. I was impressed by the design of the early robots and was disappointed that I hadn't taken notice of these toys before. (All those years wasted staring at Tonka trucks.) Here is my humble collection from the past 2 or 3 years. Most of these were found out in the field picking, that is why some are missing some parts. Chief Smoky is the only reproduction. I have some flying saucers too that I will post later. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbius Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Very impressive dieselbot!! For a few years of collecting it's a fantastic collection of earlier tin toys. Finding this stuff in the 'field' is more difficult than 30 years ago but worth the hunt. Welcome to Alphadrome. Boxes are a collectible unto themselves, so much work put into them only to have most discarded on Xmas morning and the contents soon afterward.
