How much is a working horikawa video robot with no battery lid worth?

Answer 1

The answer would depend on which version of the Horikawa Video Robot was in question, this robot was produced in a multitude of styles and sizes from the late 1960s, during the 1970s, and into the 1980s. All tin 11" tall robots would be of the highest value, 9" tin/plastic robots a bit less, and the much different looking all plastic 80s robots substantially less. A major missing part such as a battery lid would greatly compromise the value. Factors that would help enhance the value would be otherwise like-new condition or having the original box in good condition. So long story short the question is impossible to answer without knowing exactly which robot. Your best bet would be watching for the same or similar pieces on an auction website or toy dealer website. Good luck.
