But you're into weird wizards.

But this was a time where robots were kind of hard to come by.

You still are.

Well, I am now as a grown up.

It was not an easy thing to get your hands on.

I wasn't as a kid.

I was like, what is this thing?

Gotcha.

Some weird wizard.

And now, all of a sudden, there's this company saying, hey, we have this whole thing, and it has a robot, too.

Well I don't know why I had it but the Star Trek, their collection, that was another big hit.

And it was one of the greatest strokes of marketing genius that any company's ever come up with, as we'll see.

So they were just, they literally kind of, I mean G.I.

Joe and Barbie of course kind of spawned this thing but it seems like Mega really took it to another level.

Yeah, I mean, what they ended up with was a robot that—

I mean, it functioned as it should, but like I said, it's super, super slow.

yeah yeah um they kind of uh they kind of yeah action figures were cool and gi joe had really started something but migo um yeah they they just they established it forever permanently and they also showed other companies too like hey man go get yourself a license and stick to it like get creative like with the star trek license that they had

They only ended up having a couple of games where you could use the robot.

And it was just sort of a sneaky way to get these consoles in the door because it was all part of the same system.

And that's how it worked.
