Tin Robots

It's amazing the things I find when I'm surfing the net and doing searches. I recently found out there is a demographic of people who are into collecting tin robots. These are toys made of metal. Some are powered by electric motors and others are wind ups. The design and art work is inspired by 1950s and 1960s. Most interesting is that this market is not for not collectors items only, but also features a lot of new robot toys.

I have to admit that once I looked over some of the toy robots available it did look tempting especially the classic robot with the twin ray guns or the Robbie the Robot alarm clock.
