Morbius Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 When I bought mine originally in '78 (?) for $29.99 I found it to be a goofy toy, sometimes he'd respond to his clicker and other times not at all. There's only so much entertainment in watching him go in circles picking up and dropping his 'module'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boring robot for sure...and the hard thing is lining him up to "catch" his module...you spend more time missing it. But definitely not a lot of entertainment value.

Schaper had two other sonic ear toys, one was a van and the other was an orange snow cat that actually had tank treads that was called Ranger. I have been trying to find the snow cat for at least 20 years with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 What is really wild is that I could have identified everyone in that picture without the names being mentioned. Well I would have guessed at Brent. It is a pleasure to have met you all. Next year. I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botstock is the highlight of my year and seeing all those people make the trip worth it. Thanks again.Couldn't have said it better myself. Sort of like falling through the looking glass for 4 days...then we're back to reality. Thanks Joe! And Marcy for the great poster and all that donated swag and raffle items. I've finally got a Robert Lesser Hat, I've just got to add those robot pins in the exact places to make it authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanaan Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Botstock is always a blast and this time was no exception. Thank you, Joe, for hosting and Marcy for a gorgeous poster. Even though my day job interrupted the weekend, making it impossible to visit Brady's or Renninger's, I had a full day on Saturday to hit every other shop along the strip and enjoy dinner and raffle at Park Place. As soon as work was over on Sunday, I zipped back out for the closing dinner at Zia Maria's.My wife and I will be back out in Adamstown the third or fourth Sunday in August if anyone will happen to be in the area. Until next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hah, I see last year's Alphabot in the background. Correction: I mean the Alpha XI that I made for last year's Botstock. Alphabots are John's creations and I see that his is visible in the background, too.Nice product placement, Brady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothunter Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What a great group photo. And the ray guns are awesome! So sorry I couldn't make the trip but I had to get home early to meet Dan Morphy and several of his lovely assistants who came to pick up my collection. But I'll make it to Brady's place next time for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dratomic Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Definitely sorry I couldn't make it out to Brady's place again. As amazing as it looked when we were there last year, I hear it's even better now! Next time, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
