Tobor: "remote controlled" toy from the 70's

There was a "remote controlled" toy robot from the 70's named Tobor. It was actually sound activated. The remote made a load *clack* sound. It was one of those "turn in reverse" jobs, and at the time was one of the coolest toys for nerdy Star Wars obsessed kids like myself.
I am really, really surprised that there aren't any listed on eBay. A quick Google on him only came back with the 50's sci-fi movie, but I am going to investigate further. I really liked that droid...saved a lot of money on batteries since the remote didn't require any. I would love to see a picture of this thing and get some more info.
Movie posters (eBay) are available for the original 50's movie "Tobor the Great". http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item =1528838756
Perhaps webmasters should include this link to automatically run on visitors' machines (as a background process, remote script, etc?). That would be one way to make sure these ads are seen less. Or would that be denying X10's "freedom to irritate"?
At least we could all post the link in a very conspicuous place on our pages...as a service to the web-browsing public. NOBODY likes these ads.
Stick it to 'em!
I plan to stick it to EVERY corporation until there are no corporations left... and every domain is gonna be a -sucks domain, and the actual sites are gonna be -sucks-sucks sites, and so forth. It'll be a big ol' communist planet full of things that -suck.

"Well, double -sucks on you!"
"Well, -sucks infinity!"

The board appears to be down for "maintenance", but you can always check out their "Product Owerview"
