It could be time to start your holiday robot shopping a little early, as pre-orders for two of the most anticipated film and TV tie-ins begin. First up is Disney’s Wall-E, in the shape of the Thinkways Ultimate Wall-E, which is available from both Toys-R-Us for $249.99 and the official Disney Shopping store for $259.95. The former says shipping on September 13th, but Robert Oschler tells us he had an email saying mid-October instead; that tallies with the Disney Store.
We’ve learnt to expect great things from WowWee’s ever-increasing robot range, and while their next creation – the Alive Cub – might not be able to wander your house or play games of laser tag with you, it’ll probably be a hit with a new, younger audience. Basically a robotic version of a baby animal, the Alive Cubs are plush and interactive; RoboCommunity have unboxed the White Tiger version, and you can see their demo video after the cut.
If you need a little reinformement when it comes to keeping yourself in line while on your computer, this little bobble head is perfect. He sits atop your monitor peering down at you.
Many little girls had Barbie dolls and other random baby dolls they would tote around, including myself. Yet I have to say, if I had one of these as a kid, I would have tossed out every single Barbie doll to get my hands on just one.
Well hell has officially frozen over. Someone has created a game that pulls the kids away from the TV and video games. I know, I’m just as shocked as you are. I mean the nerve, telling them to play games.
Who needs another distraction? Having to work from home most of the time, I have plenty distraction even when I’m in my home office alone – but a little distraction doesn’t hurt when it could releases you from tense working hours. So why not put a WowWee Chatterbot on your desk?

As a kid I was always tagging along with my slightly younger brother. That typically meant that I didn’t play with Barbies much, I had a big wheel and massive squirt guns as well as a few toy cars and some Ninja Turtles action figures. The best was always the squirt guns, although eventually it ended with one of us just making a break for it and grabbing the hose.
Dollhouses are one of those things that even with the progression of technology many girls still love them. I still remember when my Dad bought me actual working lights for mine, I was completely mesmerized by technology making its way into my unwired wooden toy. For the record, even though that comment makes me sound old, I swear I’m still in my twenties.
With spring finally here and summer soon to come, kids will be making their way outdoors once again. Well, hopefully there will be at least a couple that still play on those low tech swings. Either way, even if the swing has become almost archaic at least you can get a slightly more updated version.
This Nerf gun costs $40 and has got to be the first fully automatic Nerf gun. If its not, its certainly the coolest, other than the fact it takes 6 D batteries to run it.
