══ DESCRIPTION ══

Original vintage Merit “The Amazing Magic Robot” 3rd Edition educational tabletop game, made in England. This fascinating mid-20th century mechanical question-and-answer game was designed to provide educational entertainment, with answers verified against Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedia. The colourful artwork and iconic robot make it a highly collectible piece of vintage British toy history.

The game includes the original box, game board, robot figure and a selection of interchangeable question-and-answer cards. Unfortunately, the robot is missing its original pointing rod, meaning the game cannot function as intended. For this reason it is being sold strictly for spares, repairs, restoration or display only.

An ideal purchase for a collector looking to complete an existing set, source original replacement parts, or display alongside other vintage Merit toys.

══ AGE / PERIOD ══

1950s

This third edition is generally believed to date from the late 1950s, when Merit produced several educational mechanical games based around Arthur Mee’s well-known children’s reference books.

══ CONDITION ══

Sold for spares or repairs.

The robot is missing its original metal pointing rod, so the game is incomplete and cannot be operated correctly.

The box has noticeable age-related wear including edge wear, creasing, scuffs, tears and crushing to the corners. The game board and question cards show signs of age and use consistent with a vintage item. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and to satisfy yourself regarding completeness and condition before purchasing.
