Last week I see robots ressembling the Under the Influence robots at Virgin Megastore (only, these ones were ugly).
Last night, I dream of going to an old toys store, selling a lot of tin toys, including a lot of robots, inclugind those from UTI.
Today, I see the UTI robots in an Ikea catalogue !
Is the universe trying to send me a message ?

I've been seeing these little robot guys around, too! There's a toy store called Puzzle Zoo that has them, and I've seen them here and there at other stores, in television ads, stuff like this.
hehe cute - OK, that's too funny with the live music and cheering with the robot staggering all over your nightstand, hahahaha!

Here's a Visa check card television ad that has the robot. I think I might have posted this on the forum before. But anyway, the robot bit comes in at around 28 seconds.

The robot is also a Windows User picture since at least Vista. I have noticed these robots a ton since the Chems started to show them in their visuals.

Yeah; one time I was watching some live UTI footage and noticed there was a strange series of letters and numbers on all of the robots, "NP 5357" (as can be seen by pausing here). I googled it, and lo and behold: the Robot Lilliput brand! It seems they're all based on different Lilliput models (doing a google image search for "Robot Lilliput" will bring up some familiar faces), and were accurate all the way down to the letters and numbers on the front!

@WhiteNoise
I can hear Under the Influence mixed with It doesn't matter, never heard that live version before. What tour was it played at?

The 2004 tour. It's from the Santiago, Chile set.
@ Whirly: Thanks.
I've got a whole collection of those 60's space age toys. That robot's not a real Robot Lilliput, but it's based on that model.
