Here is a bit of information on me.

I have lots of areas of interest and lots of different things that fascinate me.  Automatons are one of those things.  I've loved wind up toys for about as long as I can remember.  Growing up I remember playing with the original Zoids which were little wind-up cam driven dinosaur shaped robot toys that you put

I was looking at tin robots Saturday thinking about stocking stuffers for you.

I spent my childhood with a blend of *Erector sets, Tinker Toys and various dissembled motorized toys creating monstrosities that terrorized my action figures. My fist toys of choice where Micronauts but Zoids made it in as well. Those damn little rubber caps that held the parts together would get lost so easily.

*a google search for the erector sets ranked this at the top of the list.

Sorry. Blame a combination of work and reuters UK. Work because I'm too lazy to get outside the youtube blockade we set up, reuters uk because it's their embed script. May be able to grab another if my home pc isn't asleep. Nope, looks like it passed out and I haven't set up wake on lan since upgrading to Windows 7. Will fix it at some point tonight. Thanks for the warning.

Tried some trickery, that may help. Though I can't see it from here.
