robert Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 Really? It's a real nice metalflake blue. I bought two early into my collecting.Not sure if it's a Space Walkman, Robot 2000 or what, never got a box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zesko Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 The metalflake blue was the first Millennium Robot I bought... It's been around awhile. I like the fire-engine Red one better, though... Even though it doesn't work worth a crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotnut Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I bought mine from Schylling in 1999 for $19.99 !!!For twenty bucks it's a cool box and nice metalicpaint job. If you got one of the early ones like mine,it had an added feature. The red dome on top of thehead lights up, later ones don't. Anyone who tries tosell one as a vintage piece can always point to theVintage Toys book as their reference. Page 111,1962 Horikawa "Battle Robot", $800 mint in box. Thedweeb who wrote that book obviously never sawthe box or most of the boxes for any of the otherrobots in that stupid book. It does come in handythough whenever you want sell some schmuck anoverpriced toy !!! JUST KIDDING... :P www.robotnut.comThey do however look nice in formation...The purple one is kind of cool too...

robert Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 You know..I really LIKE this robot. I know it's cheap, plentiful, constantly misidentified and comes in every color except... yellow, maybe? Still, it's a great introduction to robot collecting. How can you not love "the forgotten Shemps of Automata". And yes, they do look good in formation, Darryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I just read that between October 2006 and November 2007 that approx 2600 schylling robot 2000 were recalled due to excessive levels of lead found in the paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racerxc70 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 This kid was the winner of my 2 dollar a ticket raffle at the 2013 Pleasanton Scottish Highland Games, at the time he told his dad( a space toy collector) that he wants all the colors, I also made it very clear to all that this was a repro toy.
