i-Sobot


I bought one of these and love it! He might be pocket-sized, but this miniature high-tech humanoid robot packs a huge punch. i-SOBOT is a 6.5-inch biped bot that's fully articulated, features voice command recognition and can speak a vocabulary of over 200 words and phrases. What's more, he can dance (which my son enjoys), perform his own special karate moves complete with self sound effects, and can motor forwards, backward, side-to-side or diagonally. He'll even lay down when he's had enough - and get back up again when it's time to go.

The Classic Lionel Holiday Train Set.

The Classic Lionel Holiday Train Set


This is the classic heirloom-quality animated holiday train set manufactured by Lionel, the foremost name in electric toy trains since 1900, when Joshua Lionel Cowen established the Lionel Manufacturing Company and designed his first model for a toy store display. This meticulously detailed set includes a locomotive that "chuffs" and whistles, as well as a coal tender, bell car, and caboose, each of which is manned by animated elves that shovel coal, turn a crank and swing a mallet to play bells, and pack presents. An animated Santa stands at the end of the caboose and waves. The included infrared remote control operates the train and plays Santa's holiday greeting, rings the bells, sounds the whistle, and plays Jingle Bells and Here Comes Santa Claus.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT


Sure, Mindstorms NXT is a toy, but it is an important toy, like a piano or a chemistry set. It's one of those items that engages an imagination and possibly opens doors to new interests. Since our future is surely to be shared with robots--it's already started happening, just look at Roomba--those robots will need, at least initially, humans to program and maintain them. Those people, years from now, will likely remember their experiences with Lego Mindstorms.

New Bright 6v 1:15 scale Black Hummer H3t


Here it is! This is the toy I mentioned in my blog as my son's favorite. Best buy for the money on ANY toy we have bought so far. Comes ready to run with remote control. It doesn't turn as sharp as I would like and one of the mirrors broke off when my son slammed it down, but it keeps on running. Even after hundreds of launches from our coffee table.

E-Flite Blade CX2 Helicopter


This is the improved version of the R/C helicopter I learned to fly on. The BEST helicopter for beginners, and fun for advanced flyers as well. It comes ready to fly right out of the box, and replacement blades and parts are cheap and easy to find.

The Blade CX2 takes the excitement and beginner-friendly flight stability of the original Blade CX and adds Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM radio control that lets you fly anywhere, anytime without ever having to worry about interference. It’s the first ready-to-fly RC aircraft of any kind to come with this extraordinary technology built in. In addition, the 4-in-1 control unit has been updated with improved gyro and tail control that gives the Blade CX2 even better tail response while minimizing drift. Two feather-light S60 Super Sub-Micro Servos provide powerful, precise cyclic control. Topping it all off is an aggressive new body design that looks fantastic in flight and is unlike anything else out there.

Razor A2 Kick Scooter


The original kick scooter just got a whole lot better, making it even more fun for kids and teens alike. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the Razor A2 will get your child from point A to point B much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest. The Razor A2 is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Razor combined the traditional aluminum construction, however, with a number of recent innovations, including a springless shock system that makes bumpy pavement feel smoother than ever and an all-new wheelie bar that guarantees an extra dollop of fun. Add in the foldable T-tube and deck, which tuck together to create a compact footprint (ideal for carrying when riding isn't appropriate), and you have a great kick scooter for virtually any situation. Other details include an enhanced finger guard, 98 mm inline-style wheels, and a patented rear fender brake for quick stops. This version of the Razor A2, which weighs around 6 pounds and supports up to 143 pounds, sports red handlebars, a red deck logo, and red wheels and is recommended for ages 5 and older. It's also backed by a six-month warranty.
