Danger Kennedy Space Center, Danger!

I grew up watching Irwin Allen's hit TV series, "Lost in Space." The most famous phrase to come out of the show was "Danger Will Robinson!" That's why today's news of Sheila Allen donating the B9 robot to the Kennedy Space Center' Visitors Complex caught my eye.

As a young boy I dreamed of having my own B9, but at last I grew older and came to find out that the robot was but an empty shell with an actor driving it. More accurately, there were two different robots on the hit series, one fully detailed shell and one prop use as part of the scenery of the show. The later sold on eBay in 2003 for $230,000 to a collector. Although I dreamed of owning a nice unit like this one, I cannot imagine paying a sum of cash like this for basically a hunk of metal with shiny leds. After all it is the functionality which made the B9 Robot attractive.

However, fear not, if you are looking to purchase a B9 robot, you don't have to locate the aforementioned collector, simply login to lostinspacerobot.com where you can purchase your very own replica of the B9 Robot for the discounted price of $24,500 a 900% savings over the eBay item. Alternatively, you can log onto eBay and pick up a miniature replica for about $150.
