Vintage Robot Toy Collection Is Worth More Than You
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 7 of May , 2008 at 2:57 am
Robert Lesser has been collecting robot toys for 30 years. The only reason he stopped collecting was because he’d “acquired all the great robots and space toys”. Looking at his collection, you can see that he’s not kidding. The collection has spent the last seven years in museums, and it’s now up for auction, meaning that if you have about $30,000 lying around, you could be the owner of the Jupiter robot (operational, with packaging) pictured above. There are 200 more pieces in the auction, all in museum quality condition, and it’s totally worth paging through the online catalog. Make sure to check out the packaging on the boxes; some of it is spectacular. I’ve posted a few of my favorites, after the jump.
