Anybody driving through Nebraska on the way to Expo? I'm sure Ken needs this bot greeting guests at Parallax. :)

    $7000 is he nuts? He needs to pay more than that to get someone to take it.

    $7K isn't bad if it's expertly made. Not enough detail to be sure.

    Problem is, any commercial use of these things is verboten. Maybe they can get away with this sort of thing in Nebraska, but the closer you are to the rights holders (Irwin Allen's family, Synthesis Entertainment, Fox for any voice clips from the original show) the more chance you have of getting your wallet yanked out of your pocket. Incredibly enough, there are people who buy these for upwards of $25,000, for display in their living rooms.

    They're fun to see at a show, but I still say they look pretty dorky standing around in a living room.

    So tell me again, which of these two are you saying you'd prefer standing around in your living room?
