ROBIE THE ROBOT

Since I was a kid, I have always had an interest in Robots and electronics. I had read many books and publications on the topic, and even taken a couple classes on the subject. Back in the ealy '80s, Radio Shack came out with a line of robot toys -Robie the Robot- and at the time, I thought this was great, a robot with my name! But, at the time, the only one I could afforf at the time was the Robie the Robot Bank... Now that I can actually afford these toys, they are very hard to find-I see them on Ebay all of the time, but I seem to get out-bid most of the time. I have found other toys with the same name, and pick them up when I can.
