My son Brian started collecting toy robots in the mid 80's. Brian was born with cerebral palsy. He had multiple disabilities but a great smile and bright red hair. When he was young I would adapt toys to work with a big switch he could operate. We tried all kind of toys but Brian's favorites were Robots! They came in all shapes and sizes, with flashing lights, spinning gears, shooting ray guns and made all kind of spacey sounds. He started collecting robots and I got carried away buying them for him. We found them in stores, yard sales, Flea markets, Toy shows, Toy shop newspaper and finally Ebay. Brian died in 2007 but his robot collection lives on.

Wow! Great collection Alle. I have only seen a couple of these colors before. A classic looking robot! Do these all have spinning color discs in their chest?

Welcome back! Really imaginative and detailed work. I remember when you first posted pictures of the cycle I thought it was the size of a real motorcycle.
