As a kid I loved anything with robots, movies, books,etc. and as I got older kinda lost interest. Well my mom suprised me with a WOW WEE Tribot for Christmas and it was fun for about a day then quit working. I checked the companies message boards and it seems like a lot of people got defective bots. She got it on sale for $80 marked down from $160 and now I'm reading people getting them in stores for $30 so they must really want to get rid of these things. I returned it and did some research and found the Tomy Isobot new on Amazon for $101.80 so I've ordered it.
Since getting that Tribot on Christmas I've had that childhood passion for robots renewed and have found myself spending hours watching videos online and am amazed at the progress made since I was a boy. My Joes and R/C car hobbies may have to take a back seat for a while. Anyone else into bots? |

Alright, it's great that I'm not alone. I'll be sure to post pics of the Isobot when it comes. Amazon said they're backordered till tomorrow and I paid for fast shipping so hopfully by next weekend it'll be here.

Cherry 2000!!! But seriously this is what I loved as a kid...Voltes V.
http://www.collectiondx.com/node/936 It was a Japanese cartoon that was very popular in Asia during the 70's and had a resurgence in popularity during the late 90's. Bandai used to make the toys during the 70's and just like the Gi Joe 25th Anniversary line, Bandai re-released a new and improved version. It is a very cool toy.

I like old skool sci fi robots. You know, walking refrigerators? Up to the 80s, they were awesome. Then in the 2000s, they got too smooth looking. Basically, R2d2, Forbidden Planet and Terminator are cool. But I, Robot isn't.

Being Filipino I grew up to Voltes V it was one the first cartoons I watched as a toddler.I still have my original 30 year old Voltes V toy.Became very fascinated with Transformers,Voltron,Robotech,Go-Bots,Bionic Six,The Six Million Dollar Man,Bionic Woman,Terminator,Robocop,Blade Runner.I built a robot back in elementary for a science fair out of those motorized Erector sets from the 80's.I loved the Role Playing Games that had a CyberPunk theme.I wish I could have that Robot from the Rocky movies and that bartending robot they sell.So yeah I like robots
