You can have fun dropping in to some dance lessons and watching the folks there trip and fall as the try to do the impossible on their feet. However, it doesn't seem too ethical if there's a pretty girl discovering that you're laughing at her inabilities. So try amusing yourself with this cool Wind Up Robot. This guys doesn't have some mechanical masterpiece of an internal setup but it can entertain you enough to make you smile. The stiff robotic moves show you how a geek should shake a leg without causing a crease on his trousers.

If you are among those folk who groan and grumble about no having the sufficient funds or infrastructure to build something that is worthy of being called mechanical then you should get one of these. The cool Comet Robot Kit allows you to construct a two wheeled mechanical robot that obeys verbal commands from you. All it takes is a few claps of your hand and you will cause the robot to do something innovative and different from what it was earlier doing. It needs just a couple of AA batteries (that are not included in the kit) to work.

If you want a taste of what real rickshaw rides are then there’s no better place than India. But then it isn't everyone’s cup of tea to travel to distant Asian lands. How about getting the object of attraction home? So here we have this cool rickshaw for kids. It is a great excuse to save some bucks on an expensive kiddy bike that your little tot will someday grow out of. Believe me, this can be used as a carrier for various items across your house and it also makes a great excuse for you to exercise. I wonder if it’s going to create those my-chance-now fights between young siblings.

Sorry for the catchy title Lego fans. The camera mount isn't actually made of Lego blocks that you can break apart and rejoin, but it simply has a coat that resembles Lego blocks. This is for those who just love the idea of having everything ‘Legofied’. This is the work of the idle hands of one Mr. Matthew Davidson. Lego has won the hearts of millions of people from time immemorial. Gizmodude has covered cufflinks, tables and even iPod accessories that are built on the theme and block structure of Lego. It was built to bring together the Bogen 3157N’s base-plate to meet a Lego 32532 6x8 Technic Brick. The procedure, if homemade, would really be a fascinating experience.

Remember the days when we would spend endless afternoons fiddling with the knobs on the etch a sketch boards? Well here’s something that’s got it all modernized and automated. The new Etch a Sketch can now tell the time but is restricted from doing all the etching and sketching. So let’s call this one a wall clock to stay safe. It can take you back to the days when you’d resign from all the cycling and skating and snuggle up in bed with the classic Etch A Sketch in your hand as mum would pay you those frequent visits armed with a thermometer.

If you remember the silly futuristic creatures that crawled, flew and walked around our screens some years ago. All the credit went to the Japanese for their futuristic view of life. Well, one of these creatures has flown right out of the animation studio and made its way to our toy stores. The iBird is an RC controlled bird that looks metallic and flies like a real one. The birds can be controlled by the same remote as the Picoo Zs. Well, I feel that these would make great prank toys for the summer. Picking one of these up for the mere fun of flying isn't a waste either.

The D-Rex is an cool pet for your young one and a perfect office companion to take care of your belongings. It is trained to perform some cute actions that will change your perception of the dinosaur's ferocious looks. It can obey commands and also suck up to you. What's good is that it doesn't need the tines of meat that dinosaurs needed and it also doesn't leave a mess after a filling meal. It seems to be something that's aimed at young boys rather than be a substitute to a Barbie wielding kid.

How often have you seen surfers brave the waves and glide their way to victory in surfing competitions and wished you were there too. The simple fact of you being afraid of water or the lack of swimming experience may leave you marooned on the shore. You can take to the waves without physically disengaging yourself from the shore with the help of this cool Remote controlled surfer. It can handle waves over a meter tall. It runs on an electric 540 racing motor.

Well, missed out on Valentine's Day? Ended up gifting your wife more than you gifted your offspring? Shame! The internet ain't all that uncooperative after all. Here's something that can help you make a steady comeback and win back all the lost (materialistic) love that your children have for you. The 16 Glo E Bear illuminates itself in five differently colored lights. Thanks to the eight LEDs that come in the bear, you can enjoy a fantastic color show as you little one snuggles up to the bear and dozes off. These aren't dumbly set either. The LEDs glow for fifteen minutes then turn off.

You know you love a sport when you carry it with you, in you. The best examples are the crazy hairstyling that soccerheads get into just before a major match. There aren't just a handful of people who sleep without taking their basketball jerseys off. Well, if you're a golf fan, it is understood that you aren't all that extreme. How about this lovely lamp to go with an evening of golf? Place it on your bar and get the feel of a Royal Stag (loads of pun intended). I'm not saying that golfys are boring people. The lamp is cool in its own way. The figure on it simulates the hitting of the putt and it rolls graciously into the hole. And behold, a mild cheer for a few recorded fan voices will leave you feeling complete.

Here is a message for those who are destined to read this review: The wars are coming! You hear me? Small though they may be, these Panzers are a prime necessity for anyone who cannot afford a full size tank from the Army. You can always bank on the 13 horsepower engine to charge at (or run away from) your enemies. It is powerful enough to scale slopes that are at an angle of up to sixty degree inclinations. Paintball will never seem virtual once you have one of these.

Work desks seem so cool and are of extreme importance when it comes to a new job. And then as time flies by we end up considering them as alters of sacrifice instead. To cheer you up a bit we have this cool Bowling Game that can score you a happy day; at least as long as the novelty doesn't wear off. Don't worry if your boss ends up catching you in the heat of the match. You can tell him to join in. I'm pretty sure he will oblige. Armed with the steel ball, all you have to do is aim and release the ball on the pins.

You can have fun and work at the same time. And by fun I don't mean the dumb card games that come Windows, but a real game that can keep you entertained for quite a while. Check this Desktop Basketball game for instance. It requires aim, presence of mind and a little space that you can spare by moving those eternally perched files from your desk. There are two launchers so that two players can fight hard to gain maximum points as their boss snoozes away in his cabin.

When toys get serious, they manage to charm us beyond the items they depict. The fact that most of such toys are made keeping in mind that the items they remind us are either non existent or too expensive. Besides looking like a real pirate ship it also comes with a cannon that actually works and is well illuminated. The range of working is a good 75 feet. A button to control the sound is another feature of the ship that fascinated me.
