Need to find a robot

[Jen08]

I never thought trying to find a remote control robot would be so hard. My DS(4) is asking for a robot for christmas. He wants it to be remote control as well. I have looked on amazon and found a Mr. Robot for $25 but when I looked at a video of it on youtube, it didn't look real impressive. I am trying to find one that isn't going to cost more than $30 (including shipping). This is for a 4 year old, after all and it may not last but just a few months. LOL! I can't find one on walmart, target, TRU website that is reasonable enough in price. Any help would be appreciated on where I could find one. Bless his heart, all he has asked for christmas is a robot and a DS lite so he'll def. be getting both of them, plus other things as well, but I want to get atleast the 2 main things he has asked for.

Finding something like that for less than $30 that does more than walk / roll and make a few sounds will be difficult.

Would he like the Alfie robot? It doesn't have a remote control, but it looks pretty cool and has good reviews.

What about a Zibit or 2? They make a few different ones, and they are adorable little robots with remote controls. They spin and roll forward and back. And they're $10 each!
