If they don't make them RC then they're wasting their time I think

the battlebots toys im seeing in stores are the dopest ****ing thing ive always wished for when i was a kid. damned kids have so much cool sh** nowadays. remember the battlebox arena they had like a decade ago with the robots that were on a wire/tube thing of some sort that you pulled the trigger on the handle it connected to and it made the weapons move? the arena walls would always fall off if you played with any sort of intensity. it was kind of like a freestanding rockem sockem robots type toy in a way, the little armor bits would fall off if you hit the opponent in just the right way. it was the coolest thing at the time but in all reality it was not very good or well designed. i loved that ****ing thing :redface:

I'm pretty sure I have the whole set of those grip-activated robots and the little rev-up toys they made (including Bad Attitude, which was released at the very end of the toy line and wasn't available for long). I didn't have the money to get all of the toys so things like the keychains and RC toys I had to pass on.

Will they ship to the US? Their website doesn't say.

If not, can someone help me get my hands on these?

I think SmythsToys will ship worldwide... although it doesn't say. Even if it's not worldwide shipping/postage, I do think they will ship to the United States as well! Only three more house robots of the new house robots, and the new house robot-line is complete!

dog, I hot glued those damn walls into place. they would not stick at all.

I had all of the grip-and-grapplers, except for Killerhurtz which I think was rare, even a few duplicates. Eventually I cut the trigger and tube off and would just battle them in the arena like pullbacks, pretending the gaps in the walls were pits. Toro had one hell of a flipper once you cut the trigger off.

I didn't have the money to get all of the toys so things like the keychains and RC toys I had to pass on.
I remember buying like 5 Atomic Wedgie rev-ups at Toys-R-Us for like 25 cents each. I had most of them as well, including Bad Attitude. As far as the keychains, I remember picking up Ziggo and Snake long after the BB toys were in stores at a Rite Aid. Forgotten stock I suppose.

Anyone remember the Beyblade rip-off battlebot toys? Mauler and Blendo, sure, but ****in Punjar on a beyblade?
