Things From A Department Store Catalog From 1986 That I Had

Remember that scene in Big where Tom Hanks "doesn't get" a robot that transforms into a building because buildings aren't fun? Well I loved the Rock Lords:

I also had a robot that vacuumed.

 

 It was the original Roomba. I also had the dog from the same toy line, Spotbot.
