We got this toy because our 4-year old son wanted it for his birthday. He saw it at an episode of Max and Ruby. Even if there were warnings that it wasn't a toy but a collector's item, we still got it anyway and we only play it with him when we are around him. He loves this toy! It's great, it's fun, but I wouldn't leave it around accessible to any kid younger than say 10 years old?? The edges are sharp; the toy won't last unless you take care of it...but it's very classic, adorable and fun!

This reminded me of toys from my youth (early '60s, but I have the feeling it was around much earlier). The only difference is, this one I didn't overwind and break the motor! I viewed a great collection of robot toys from the 60's and earlier at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, and this item was similar to several they had on display.

This toy is so much fun! you would spend hours and hours playing with this toy. This tin toy robot you didn't just wind the the key and it just broke, even though it has a warning on the box that says "this item is not a toy but a collectors item" I bought it any way. I've wound the key 9 times and it still works so it seems sturdy. Heres a tip don't wind it up more than 9 times, but to be on the safe side wind it a maximum of 7 times. THIS TOY IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!

I originally purchased this robot for my son to decorate his room, but I can't seem to keep it on the shelf. The boys love using the key to wind it up and watch it go. Yeah, it's not amazing, but my kids get a kick out of it. It was a little smaller than I pictured it, but it was the impact I wanted for his room. Plus, it turned out to be a great toy for him as well.

i don't know if the issue is with amazon or with this robot.
i have returned two to amazon at this point, and am looking for another robot.
i wanted it as a decoration for my son's birthday party, but the first robot arrived covered with rust spots and fingerprint smudges--obviously not new.
it also didn't include the crank, so who knows if it actually moved.
i returned it for another and that one came with more rust, more fingerprints, and a detached head!
i tried my best to put the head back on, but it just wasn't happening.
i think if you want this on a shelf and don't feel like touching it or moving it, it's cool looking, but if you actually want it to move around and look decent, i wouldn't purchase it here.
you'll probably get my returns and have to go through the same ordeal.
