Robot toys, which are good?

Just wondering if you guys have any experience with these things. They are getting pretty advanced and there seems to be several out there. Any first hand experience? Christmas is coming up fast

The kit versions are much cheaper.

And you learn about robotics during the building process

These are for young kids, I am all for pushing them but there is no way they are ready to build from a Heath Kit

I'm really just wondering if the Pleo style bots are really that neat or not.
