 | | New Throwbots —Karl Martinson
|
| | | Being in Canada I just got my S@H a few days ago. I was pleasantly surpried to see the new throwbots. I don't own any of the original 8, but for about half a year I planned to buy Amazon, Torch, Jet and Granite. I planned to buy 2 of each, so could (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) I have to admit that the first time I saw the Throwbots in the store, I thought "How dippy. I'll _never_ get those." Of course, I have all eight of them now, and I'm looking forward to the new ones... I'm starved for information. Thanks for (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

It's great to see someone showing some concern for the throwbots around here. Sure they got the stupid arm, but that (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) <snip> I know what you mean. I find the Throwbots a bit like a fungus. At first they look disgusting, but if you give them a chance they'll grow on you. :) I agree, the Throwbot arm is pretty useless, but I find the Throwbots just infatuating (...)

| | | | | | The first thing I did with the Throwbots was to buy a zillion 1x1 circular plates ("dots"). If you put a 1x1 dot in the three holes at the bottom of a throwbot foot, they stay on baseplates pretty well. -gyug In lugnet.general, Thomas Foote writes: (...)

But when I want them to walk and I lift their feet off the baseboard, the dots always stay on the baseboard and never stay on the feet. It's (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) I can't say I'm *excited* about the new 'bots, but I do like that they are more color-coordinated. The "super throwbot" TLC suggests you can build out of the three new sets is much better-looking than last year's color nightmares. OTOH, the SW (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

He actually looks acceptable in this configuration. Has anyone out there got him yet? Care to enlighten (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | I have him. The huge-feet/big-torso version is rather clunky and hard to pose. The motocycle version is much cooler. In that one, the throwbot looks like a flying monkey from wizard of Oz. Oh, it should be mentioned that the Millennia has a metalic (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
