Collectible Robot Sells for Over 100K

It's official, the world has gone crazy, for robots that is. Transformers dominated in the box office. Transformers opened to $152.6 million in its first 6½ days in the U.S. and Canada, Paramount Pictures estimated.

In addition, a vintage 1980's set of the legendary toy robots just sold on eBay for over $100k. The furious bidding could very well make this the most expensive toy in history. The collection, composed of over 275 Transformers and Transformers related items, included Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Part of the proceeds from the auction are set to be donated to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The auction is being conducted by the collector's widow, Phoenix Lindgren.
