DESCRIPTION
Light general wear. Some staining in one corner.
We strive to provide an accurate description of all items. PLEASE, please, please EMAIL OR CALL with any additional questions you may have. Keep in mind, you are bidding on a vintage item – expect natural aging….look at the large pictures provided. Also, please be aware that close up pictures might emphasize dust and minor imperfections that you won’t see with the naked eye. Most of our items are from 30 to 50 years old and will have some degree of stress cracks, crazing, etc. Expect them. We do not highlight ‘typical wear’ unless we feel it is out of the norm. Additionally, wires get brittle, rubber dry rots, strings get frail. Talking mechanisms go mute. Battery operated items stop working. All our items are sold for display purposes only.  We will always tell you the operability of items in our possession – but we cannot, in any way, offer any guarantees of their continued operability.

Zeroid 1969 Ideal Robot Commander Action Set ZOGG Instructions
Attention:  Original Zeroid set instructions. From the late 1960s.  Set included Zogg!
The initial release featured four different robots: Zerak, Zobor, and Zintar could be bought separately or packaged with either a Solar Cycle or in an Action Set. These three Zeroids came packaged in plastic containers which became a vehicle or mini-playset for use by the robot. The fourth Zeroid, Zogg (the Commander-in-Chief) could initially be bought in an Action Set only (he could later be found carded or boxed. In 1970, Ideal added the Alien Zeroid with Exploding Chest. At this time Ideal changed packaging to a header card format (the new packaging featured updated “hip” graphics and colors, and many more could be shipped in a smaller case), and offered the accessories as separate boxed items: the Sensor Station and the Zeroid Missile Defense Pad. The Zem XXI Zeroid Explorer Module was also added as an accompanying vehicle to the Zeroid line. Shortly after this (probably when sales began to flag), Ideal marketed the separate Zeroids simply as “Robots” in small, white window boxes or as “Zerak Robots” (these were found in Kreigse’s department stores). At some point, Zogg was offered in the same boxed format as the original three robots. Towards the end to the line, Ideal kit-bashed the three robots to produce the Zem robot, now found in Red or Turquoise. “Each Zeroid has a unique pair of special purpose hands, interchangeable magnetic and throwing hands, and a battery-powered motor with forward and reverse drive. In operation, Zeroids are capable of grabbing, pinching, carrying, clawing, attracting, throwing, pushing, pulling or hauling functions.” From “turret to track” each Zeroid simulates a marvelous mechanic-electronic complex, molded in awesome detail, and the sparkling Zeroid packages double as functional play units!” Zobor – The Bronze Transporter A kindly carrier with special duty gripper claws. Like magic, his empty plastic package becomes a roomy Cosmobile for hauling loads. Also has magnetic and throwing hands.

Who We Are
L & L Collectables is a small, family run business. We have been buying, selling, and, yes, collecting since the early 80’s.  As veterans of ‘local’ toy, doll, and antique shows, we actually miss the human contact so feel free to contact us via email or phone anytime.   In the world of collecting, ‘small business’ often translates to poor customer service – we hope our eBay feedback demonstrates we always do our best to treat our customers as we would like to be treated. Please see our ‘about me’ page for more about us. Please review our policies below.
Payment
Payment is due within 2 days of auction close or date of purchase – EXCEPTION: if payment is snail mailed, we request it to be mailed within 2 business days.   Ebay insists on PayPal, but we have no problem with just about any other method.  ( Personal cks are held up to 10-15 days to clear.)
California insists we collect 9.25% sales tax for California residents – unless you can provide a valid resale number.
Paypal payments – we will ONLY ship to shipping address listed on Paypal payment.
Communication
We do our best to answer all emails regarding active listings/sold items within one business day.   We  don’t always answer offers to take less (if we wanted to list it for less or with a ‘make offer’ option, we would have) or on closed/sold listings.
Shipping & Handling
We have found that the eBay shipping calculator is often incorrect, so don’t count on it as the final word.   We only charge exact shipping/insurance costs. Feel free to email if you feel shipping cost showing up is incorrect.
We have just switched to calculated shipping so please let us know if something seems off.
We offer more than one shipping option.  The cheapest option does NOT always show up first so please look at different options
Paypal payments – we will ONLY ship to shipping address listed on Paypal payment page (this is an eBay and Paypal requirement).
We charge exact shipping and insurance charges on all orders – we do not charge packing nor handling fees. Signature required on all packages over $500.
Combined shipping:  Yes, we combine shipping.  Please request invoice (or it will cost you a little more)
International buyer pays EXACT shipping & insurance (VAT/Taxes/Duty is the responsibility of the buyer. Please know your own country’s fees for imports).
Shipping Time:   Our normal shipping days are Tuesdays and Fridays.  There is a one business day processing time needed for shipments (ie items paid by midnight Sunday will go out Tuesday.  We try to get most items paid on Monday shipped on Tuesday – but if time doesn’t permit, please don’t expect package to ship until Friday).
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ? PLEASE NOTE:
We REALLY love selling internationally.  We’ve met many people through the years and many have become our dearest friends.  Your business is important and valuable to us. However, please do not purchase, if you are unable to comply with the following:
WE DO NOT FALSIFY CUSTOMS FORMS.
Please do not ask us to put down a false amount or classify as a gift.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to know and pay all their own country’s duty/import taxes and fees.
Damaged in Shipping/Returns & Refund Policy
Damaged Items:
If an item arrived damaged, contact us immediately.  Please be sure to retain ALL packaging including the box and packing materials, and we will file an insurance claim for you.
Returns:
No returns.  Everything is sold AS-IS.  Buyer is responsible for reading description and reviewing large pictures provided.  The items we sell are vintage collectables so expect natural aging/wear.  However, we will consider return if there was a significant oversight in listing.  Please contact us for authorization. Buyers would be responsible for ALL return shipping and insurance costs. Insurance would be required and must cover the eBay final bid price.  Changes of heart (ie buyer’s remorse) will never be a legitimate return reason.  We will not consider for return any ‘sealed’ item which has been open by buyer – regardless of contents. We also reserve the right to charge a 15% restocking fee for returns or order cancellations – at our discretion.  We do NOT offer partial refunds.
