That rocks! However I must warn you if your son is anything like my nephew, it'll be broken and at the bottom of the toy box, and will make wierd RAWRRrrr sounds if bumped, after the battery is almost dead :)

Mannnn fuck that shit... Get him the anarchists cookbook and flammable liquids like a few gallons of jetfuel and shit. Fun for the whole family!

No really that robosaur is pretty sweet. I got my nephew the giant robot from the same company and he freaked... He carries the damn thing everywhere and named it Tim for some reason.

First, thinking of Ralph as having an actual family seems a bit...strange?

Second, to people with kids in or who have passed the 1 and 1/2 yr old range, what did you get them for christmas? I'm trying to think of good presents for my twin nephews, but most of the stuff I see in the toy books looks to old or too young. When is the earliest that a child can handle a power wheels?

Don't hijack my thread motherfucker!





































Seriously, I would just start buying Thomas the train shit now. It will lessen the blow when they get 1-2 years older and want nothing else.. :rofl:

My nephew is obsessed with the trains...

My kids had no interest in Thomas.

There are some very cool stuff out there now for that age group...just watch tv for an hour and you'll be bombarded with ads.

hahah.. my nephew will be one of the pimpinest pirates ever to grace this fine planet...

I plan on buying him a 2021 BMW or something when he turns 18... In exchange he'll bring young bitches over to my mansion so I can be a dirty old man and put them on the internets or something equally vile.

He's two now and I bought him the robot thing... He can already work the controller just fine. Another option is power tools.

It just reminds me of: http://www.sony.net/Products/aibo/

but not as cool... what would be cool is if you could get the Aibo technology into a T-Rex body.

That would be sweet. I'd teach it to chew on people's legs.

On "The Anarchist's Cookbook". I tried hunting down a copy of that for my little brother's birthday... no luck. That made me sad.

A subscription to Hustler magazine is the perfect gift for all ages and genders.

Mom will love it too.

Tossica is definitely on to something there. Hustler is a fine rag, guaranteed to make sure any young boy won't grow up to be a fag.

Oddly enough it didn't make me a lesbian. My dad always bought Hustler and when he got tired of them he'd leave them where my brother would find it and take it so he'd have an excuse to buy a new one. My brother would take them to the clubhouse we had and share them with the neighborhood kids.

I don't have to worry about that. If he turns out to be gay, I'll just make him disappear and tell the cops he ran away from home.





























(I'm kidding!!) :rofl:

Saw this thing at Radioshack in the mall today, pretty tight gift. Worked great, controls weren't confusing. Very active toy, looks easily broken though.
