OT: Crow T. Robot for sale

[weirdami]

I've gotten a few comments about Mystery Science Theater 3000 lately because of my awesome icon guy. :-) He's not an Amiga, but he is a Cybernetic Remotely Operated Woman, so that's close. (MST3K inside joke, sorta)

Anyhoo, I have one for sale because of the same reason I'm so keen to sell off lots of Amiga stuff lately. I put him up on craigslist.

People seem to disappear when I tell them how much I'm hoping to get, so just email me through that craigslist post with an offer. If someone offers near what I really want, they can have all my left over bot building parts and make more Crow's for themselves. Or, at least, lots of torsos. :-)

Shipping will be in two boxes. To the USA, the total seems like it would be something like $60. I don't know about international because I don't know how much this guy really weighs.


edit: Listed on ebay.

Um, what's the reason? That 60 minutes story about how MST3K was really made on an *Atari* ?

:-P

They had an Amiga in the office and they reference Amiga on the show a couple of times. In the Outlaw episode, they did a host-segment presentation and said they used a Video Toaster to do it. So, hey, more stuff that makes my post closer to being on-topic! ;-)

I'm selling my stuff because it's better to be owned by someone who's gonna use it rather than being in a closet waiting for me to pull it out and look at it... dreaming of the day when I can have a vast Amiga empire... or something.  :crazy:

That one episode with the horrible deep sea movie with the
line "Hey, I got the Amiga working" made my girlfriend at
the time fall out of her chair laughing since I spent so
much time working on mine...

Someone mentions it over on another thread. I thought that was a cool line, too. Any Amiga reference anywhere is cool. :-D

One episode (I'm thinking a Godzilla movie) the episode kicked off with Tom and Crow arguing about mac versus PC.  Joel whispers conspiratorially at the camera that it is just a "matter of personal nuance" as to which OS is better and tries to inject a little variation in the argument and says "Say...has anyone seen the mouse for my Amiga?" - at which both Crow and Servo begin to laugh derisively

Another showed a blockhouse with a yellow stripe near the vision slit and one of 'em quipped "Hey, it's a giant video toaster"

Finally, one featured a P-in-P type shot which servo attributed to "The magic of the Video Toaster"...

We could gather all the Amiga references and submit a list of them to the "ward e" section of the MST3K website.  :idea:

I went and listed it on ebay. You buy! :-)

No, it's not the one pictured in the AO gallery. That one's from an MST3K fanmade video riffing on the Doctor Who episode Time and the Rani. I designed the website for it. :-) Beware of pop-ups, though. :-( Angelfire isn't so great. It has hypnoheliostaticstasis, for sure.
