Of minimum wage and robots

A short story about working at K-Mart and picking up toys from shows that wouldn't get released here for 20 years is up today at Let's Anime!! What's the robot toy? Well, it looks like a bug, and usually it's purple.



Once again we dive into the wonderful world of obscure and irrelevant at Let's Anime. No no, don't thank us, just doing our job, ma'am.

I believe I saw a toy very much like that one at a flea market recently, at a booth loaded with toys which seemed to be split between Japanese robot cartoon toys from the 80's and the sort of cheap-o generic robot toys you'd find on the shelves at a dollar store for the past few years. The booth was being tended to by a very rude, surly guy who looked like he'd take eight place in a Harry Knowles-lookalike contest.
