Awww so sad...loved the series and especially the robot. Always called him Robby as a kid cos he was so like the one in The Forbidden Planet.
RIP Bob and thanks for bringing to life a childhood favourite.
Regards
JAS

Always seemed odd that a character so obviously designed to appeal to kids didn't have a name.
...and who didn't want one of these at the time
never got one though
That's the Japanese version but I remeber a UK one too.

WOW who knew they'd be worth so much.

ah that sounds more like...although I'll bet the toy ones will go up in value now too.
Still...give me characters like that any day over clever cgi stuff.
RIP Bob
