mike van Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I picked this jigsaw puzzle up [ebay of course] about 8.00, new, sealed in plastic. Almost finished, I have an extra orange piece, but there's one missing for his mid-section. So, I glued up the right thickness of thin cardboard & paper, traced it through the missing hole & cut it out with a punch & Xacto knife. My wife, [crafty painter, she is] painted the piece in place. Its one with part of a white dial in it, never find it unless you really are looking - And, a cherry frame, Mr. Atomic is headed for deep space - He's got to be one of my favorite robot shapes, just unique :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike van Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 On the box it says over 500 Rodney - Patience is important - The end result is well worth the time - This is especially true collecting robots. We wait, we drive, always looking, hoping to find that elusive rare robot that no one else saw. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotate-O-Matic Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I remember seeing this puzzle at Toy Tokyo in Manhattan on Second Avenue. Not sure if they still have them in stock. That was maybe a year ago? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 In 1984, Class Publications released a series of robot jigsaw puzzles. Colorforms did the same thing in 1986. Both used photographs by Douglass Grimmett & Chuck Carlton. Their photos were created for robot calendars produced by Workman Publishing in 1985 and again in 1986.An eBay search for "robot puzzle" and "robot calendar" will eventually turn these up.
