They've got great examples for lots of other trends like Corporate Hippie:

Watch this LGR video if you want to learn more about the Omnibot 2000
You know it’s the future when it says “2000” on it.
Oh man I wanted that thing so bad when I was a kid.
I had the less-cool but still really cool Verbot.

That's so very cool.

I like how cleverly designed this portable tv is. The conical shape necessitated by the CRT has been made to feel like a feature and not a bug.
I had one of these!! Wow... I'd totally forgotten about it. I believe that was a pull out drinks tray on the front. I remember carrying it around by those neck handles cos it kept getting stuck in corners 🤣
Love the pics from Gerry Anderson's UFO.
I remember wanting one of these when I was younger
There's no way in the world that I could have ever afforded it though
