When I was a young boy, 30 years ago, I had 2 of these. I played with them for hours and hours. I actually made them a little home to live in and a car that they would push around. I still have one of them from my youth and I recently bought a few of the new ones they have out now. I also recently found a larger version that they have out. I am thinking of possibly casting a very large version someday around 12" or so. I'll let you know if I get it perfected and I can make you one.

Hey, If you every get around to making a 12" version I would defiantly pay you for one. I love to see that! I actually have a few more different colors that I got after recording this.

I LOVE my Racal Robots! Found them at a store on 57th Street a couple years ago and got a couple more. But I never knew there were more than two color types! Where can I find them? (These classic types are the ones I love.)

Hey Junglebetty, I'm glad you like my collection. Yes I wonder if there is a yellow dome color one. I been collecting them off of ebay for years. The gold and silver one in assembled with spare parts.

I collected them over many years. I have 2 other colors not shown in the video. Yes I know I'm a nerd.

AMAZING! then I am totally sure you´ll love this one here: Search YouTube for "Stuntcat - Sandpiper Inn". It is a rascal robot from 1977 in a supercute music video!

Always had a few of these when I was little, in the late 70's. Every summer, local UHF TV would bust out Lost in Space; You can't deny the resemblance between these guys and the Robot from that show. ;)

This BEGS to be set to music. Something ominous or military will do. Love it.

Awesome!!

Dude, I'm quite jealous on your collection! If you wanna get rid of them, please lemme know, I'll give them a new home! (Of course I now you never wanna sell them... *g*) :)

Wow. I've not seen these in years. I used to have several of those when I was little, but unfortunately they didn't make it out of my childhood in one piece.

Thanks for posting this. It really brought back some great memories.
