Hi,

Its my birthday soon and I'd like one of the vintage robots that the Chemical's use in their videos, specifically the one in Don't Think. I've taken a look on google and found some similar but can't find this particular one. Does anyone know if and where its available anywhere please?

Thanks, Graham

That's the blue robot from the old visuals :

It's called "Atomic Robot Man" in case you want to get it

And I think that's the red one from the old visuals

Hahaha, my husband surprised me with a tin toy robot today. I asked him where he got it and he said Tin Toy Arcade, after seeing it posted here on the forum.

Thanks fellas!

:D

No Chems tunes but I saw the advert below and thought of this thread.
Not sure why they are advertising something that arrives in the UK in Autumn 2014.


The slightly longer German version is here.

Not the first time Audi have used a robot in their advertising either.

Haha, thank you, that made my evening! I love the robots' laugh when the thumbs-up sign popped out of the cell. Hilarious!!!

I am addicted to robots, especially the classic tin robots used in the Chems visuals. Here's my ever growing family...

They're not too tricky to find on the web, ebay is clearly the best place to start. I can't be of much help though unfortunately, as most of my robots were gifts from my lovely gf.

Ha! Newsnight with Jeremy Paxman (BBC2) just showed a clip of THIS vid and asked "are we all being turned into I-diots?".
That piece coming up later in the program.

Oh, right in the nerdy feels. You know that Boba Fett isn't a robot, don't you?
