Damn these expensive WALL-Es. All I could afford was the tiny $7 figure. At least I got a little EVE for him.

Especially WALL*E.

You forgot Spykee from Erector:

[www.spykeeworld.com]

You build him. He moves, talks, takes pictures, records video, has intruder detection, and built in VOIP. And you can control him remotely over the Internet.

So the next time you're at the beach and your brother comes by to steal your videos, you can sneak up on him, sound the alarm, yell at him, watch his reaction, and even post the recording to youtube.

Saw him for $229 at Costco.

@wjglenn: We tried to get a Spykee -- sadly we were told that Erector no longer distributes them in the US and we weren't told who does.

Who else thought (was secretly wishing) that the D-Rex was going to eat the Elmo?

Is it wrong that I want to use a pair of Armitrons to rip them all to pieces?

@OMG! Ponies!: Why have arms, when you can have an incinerating ray?

Imagine, this doing that to all of them!

What... no Lego Mindstorms? Or is that too complicated for the general populous?

@VViley: It's got too much going on. It's very cool, but like Pleo and a few other products, it's just too much a platform to be lumped in with these toys.

@OMG! Ponies!: Not to well. Someone mistook a surplus sea mine for a bumble ball, and the battle was over very quickly.

@Aaron Martin-Colby: Thats what I was thinking. They are only $100, far cheaper than almost everything on the list.

@Log1c: We asked. According to Tomy, there's no loaner inventory this year. Meaning Tomy's not even interested in publicizing it. Meaning you probably shouldn't be buying something they don't even want to ENTER into a Battlemodo.

No matter how you dis it Giz, I still want a Rovio to add to my webcam setup. I mean, just thinking about chasing my cat gives me giggles.

My favorite part of this is when Little Wall-E has a seizure at 00:45

If ever there was a reason for my Stupid Gadget Neutralizer to exist, this is it. I've got my eye on you Rolly.

@Kaiser-Machead: I think a better name for Rolly would be iKick - because everytime I see that thing, I just want to punt it for some reason. Is anybody really gonna buy that when a PS3 is the same price?

@EBone: I work at the Sony Style store, and at first, I loved the little guy. I thought it was hilarious, but, having to stand at a desk for eight hours a day listening to the SAME FOUR SONGS over and over again (they won't let us load our own), I've started to hate it...just a little bit. But, to answer your question, yes. We've had the Rolly for about six months now, I believe, and I want to say I've seen about ten-fifteen people buy it, and no returns of it that I've seen.

@Kaiser-Machead: I sure hope it gets cooler than its performance against the robots in the video above, 'cuz a few light color changes and some flapping don't seem that exciting.
