geoffreypeeters Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi Dirk, thank you for your kind comments . I'm a big problem now i have no more place in my appartment (hum maybe the kitchen :closedeyes: but i think it's not a good idea!).AlainNo Alain, definitely NOT the kitchen !!! (bad, bad idea... hehehe) I know your problem... How many robots can you get away with per square meter of apartment... Let's see... :rolleyes: Either you downsize your collection (sell all the big ones and buy TOMY little white-knob robots) and store them under your matress... or ... ask the Louvre if you can have a permanent exposition there between the Mona Lisa and the Egiptian artifacts... :lol: No, seriously, I really empathize because I have the same problem (even worse, because my beloved is a university professor - so we have as much books in our place as we have toys...). So, you can pile up boxes untill the ceiling (which you did...) - store the not-so interesting empty boxes into the more interesting vintage ones... - and buy even more "vitrines" and display cases...Good luck ! And great collection ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 If your room is high enough - what do you think about a PLEXIGLASS CEILING for your boxes... :P ... I had those idea for a long time - but never realized it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotoy75 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi all, i received today this beautiful Mechanic Robot with Japanese box :), nice journey!!!Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalRobotHead Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Great collection Alain. The Mechanic Robot is one of my favourites, lovely smooth walking action and the well engineered sounds it makes :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Alain, that's a wonderful piece the Mechanic Robot, mine has the Japanese box as well.Notice when in operation the lights/gears reflect off of the lower face area creating its own type of lightshow especially in a darkened room. Very nice to listen to and watch. Well made machine for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffreypeeters Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi all, i received today this beautiful Mechanic Robot with Japanese box :), nice journey!!!AlainThis one is on my wish list as well Alain, because it is one of the more "exquisite" (if not weird) designs of the Japanese toy-industry. Congratulations ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotoy75 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi, Michael, David and Geoffrey. I agree nice 70's design with flashy colors, smooth walking like Michael Jackson dance:lol: and big sounds like an alarm-clock:D.Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkrobot Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great addition Alain,,, This robot has allways been one of my favourites,,I remember buying one brand new in the 1970's for my kids ,so as far as I'm concerned it is a classic that has always been with me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Robotoy75, that's the most reliable version of the Piston Robot, the Japanese manufactured one, much more so than the tin leg version from Taiwan with the (usual) split plastic pinion gear. Nice addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
