Johnny 5 is for sale on eBay!

It'll be interesting who buys it. I'd be pretty sure the design is still owned by the studio/distributor, so there'd be possible problems for anyone buying the robot and then using it in a commercial way on a Web site or whatever. This is/was the case with Robby from Forbidden Planet. The owner of the original robot does not have exploitation rights to its image.

This is one for a rich Microsoftie or an ILM higher-up, someone who could afford the robot just for the sake of having it.

Yep - too rich for my bank account ! For those interested, here's a link to a fellow that built his own J-5 = reproduction and even shows how some parts are made.
