Flashback Friday: 2-XL Robot

So, I know we kinda had a “flashback” blog yesterday, but I couldn’t leave out another toy that I played with (and actually liked) when I was a kid: 2-XL (get it?).  It was a “robot” that worked with cutting-edge 8-track tape technology.  (A later version used cassettes instead.)  Still, despite it’s blockiness, it was kind of amusing and I did actually learn things from it.  Check out this commercial from 1978 and you’ll see why even Playboy Magazine loved it as much as I did. — E.
