Machine Robo MR-B747 Jumbo Jet - Display Only

In 1984 (an annus mirabilis for transforming robots) Bandai began a special promotion with Japan Airlines: offering a limited edition Machine Robo in return for loyalty points. This unlikely alliance produced what is now the rarest of the 600 series and one of its most striking pieces. Rarely seen boxed and often missing an engine or two the MR-B747 is the cherry on the top of most Machine Robo collections.

Tomy Gold Omnibot - MIB - Display Only

First place prize in a competition run for only one year in 1980's Japan. This spectacular Gold Omnibot is the Louis XIV of home robots. Aside from his tray, the packaging and accessories are identical to a regular Japanese release. He's in mint condition and thanks to dry storage is fully working. Very few of these survive in respectable condition. Dazzling in his chrome livery he is truly a king among droids.

Tomy Silver Omnibot - MIB - Display Only

In 1980's Japan a competition saw the release of a limited number of gold and silver chromed Omnibots as 1st and 2nd place prizes respectively. This is one such surviving example. Aside from his tray, the packaging and accessories are identical to a regular Japanese release. He's in mint condition and thanks to dry storage is fully working. He looks resplendent in his shiny chrome and is the toast of many a London dinner party.

Machine Robo - Lucky Draw MR-20 - £200

This is a stunning gold chrome Porsche Robo MR-20, made by Bandai in 1983. These chrome Machine Robo were released for a brief period as lucky draw items in Japan. There was a small possibility that one would reside within your regular packaged toy. A variety of models were given this regal treatment: including MR-01, MR-03, MR-04, MR-20, MR-29 and MR-31. All in either gold or silver. Like most vintage chromed items, not many still retain their original lustre.
