Though a Catholic priest, a retired New York City police detective and attorney Anthony Ballato never received the $9,000 “Lost in Space” robots they ordered, the Massapequa, N.Y., lawyer has snagged a $70,000 judgment against the California merchandiser — at least on paper.

In a pro se action before Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Joseph DeMaro, Ballato won a judgment last week against Icons Authentic Replicas for breach of contract and fraud under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
