Winter is knocking at our door and temperatures of -10 and more are waiting for us overhere in Holland :) Guess I have to get my skates out of grease and get prepeared for some nature ice scating :) besides that its perfect weather to picture some robots and spacetoys again and add them to my website. I still have a shipload to picture and add. The GOLDEN horikawa I added today is the scarce golden variation with silver doors. never played with in original box..love them or hate them... these golden destroyers are getting scarcer every year.

The final month of the year... Winter started overhere in Holland and that gives me time again to picture new robots and spacetoys. I finally found the time to inspect and picture the Green Daiya Space Conqueror that I found last year in Italy. Yes Italy was the keyword of 2011. I think I found most of the rare robots there. Italy is just great and there are soo many unfound treasures there, you have no idea. This green astronaut is again a perfect example of what Italy has to bring us... More to Come !!!....

Last weekend was interesting again. I slightly remember driving with lightning speed over the Brussels Roads from one Robot Stock store to the other :) Hard music and robotfriends joined me and with a couple of beers it was FUN. The word for this yearly event is: ROBOT DIVING :) Imagine an attic where ALL your dreams come through...Robots stored away in boxes, more boxes, more and more and more boxes... simply TOO much for your brain to handle. Again I found some interesting robots and spacetoys, Horikawa robots, space stations, and even a blue Mr Atomic showed up, not in Brussels but more about that later.
For the moment I started making pictures again, a VERY nice Fighting Spaceman in Original box.
Stay tuned, MUCH more to come.

I spent most of the weekend negotiating on a rusted old robot but unfortunately I was not able to work it out.

I could not work it out this time... shit.. hehehehehe
What I DID found is a nice black robot with a Kaleidoscope in his chest....looks nice ;)
