Seeking urgent price guidance help


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello everyone, I need help,

I don't know much about vintage robots,

I found these two robots in Spain,

Mr robot is 525 usd and the other TV spaceman is 735USD.
They both don't have boxes,

Mr robot's head can light up, can walk

And the TV spaceman can walk, but there is no light on, my memory is that it should have a light on its chest.

 

I would like to know the price advice, thank you guys!IMG_4610.jpeg.fca1e2f2706d348def448666c267f492.jpeg

They both seem a bit high to me, especially if the lights are out, which requires tearing apart to fix. The lights in the TV spaceman are the thing that make it great. I'd look on eBay and see how they compare to recent auctions. Things turn up less than they used to, but these are two of the most common from that era.

Agree that they seem a little pricey as loose pieces. looks complete though. I'd say they are about double what I'd pay. but I'm a stingy bargain hunter.

Unless you really really want them, then the skys the limit. 😉

Thats the first version of the Alps TV spaceman robot. There is a single light behind the moving paper artwork that also shines up to the mouth color wheel. To replace the light, you have to take the robot completely apart as the lamp is buried down inside the back of the moving artwork mechanics.
