That’s what we’re talking about-- appreciation. Big bank accounts auction people spotting the Robbie, one of a kind creation, with a fiction story identity, an actor’s voice personality and lines, and a whole visual iconography from a classic film behind it. Faith in human intelligence and common sense temporarily restored. :grinning:
