Wouldn't be cool if you could own your own replica of the Lost in Space B-9 robot? It sure would be. Many of us have dreamed of having a robot like the B-9 since we first watched the legendary TV show back in the 60s (okay, I was not born until 1975 so I only saw the robot in reruns much later but it makes little difference.) But alas, modern science has yet to fulfill our dreams. So, how about we just settle for an exact replica of the TV-show robot.

Hammacher Schlemmer offers an exact and genuine replica of the Lost in Space B-9 robot for anyone to own. This robot is so cool that other than being of the correct size, it can also peaks over 500 pre-recorded phrases including the ever so popular "Danger Will Robinson!"

Every detail of the original robot is faithfully reproduced from original archival molds, patterns and blueprints. It is made from fiberglass, acrylic, aluminum, and steel parts, including its rotating torso and radar head, flashing lights, animated ear sensors, and clawed arms. It can be operated using the included remote control, allowing you to move its torso left and right and activate the robots soil sampler (which comes out of its right tread housing and spins; the robot provides an audible environmental analysis thereafter).

Very, very cool. The only problem is the price. Unfortunately, to own your own copy of the Lost in Space B-9 Environmental Control Robot you will have to pay the very steep $24,500 price (which is only $24,497 Canadian for those living North of the border.)
