My 7 1/2 YO is using his remote control car to death. Getting another one for Christmas this year.

We like Legos and also do K'Nex.

Favorite thing from his birthday was a digital camera.

What remote car and what camera?

DS really likes the helicopter that he got for his bday. He probably wasn't quite ready for it since it has hit the ceiling a number of times and it may be on its way out, but I am very impressed with the quality compared to the price. It helps if you have high ceilings. Sellers are different on Amazon, so just check out their satisfaction rating before you buy.

Unfortunately these will not fit with DS's Keva planks (Kapla), but I think that he will like them. I saw them IRL...and there is a good sale here:

Also, remote control spider that goes up the wall. It is probably very cheap, but it is the only thing that he has asked for. Free ship at Toys R Us right now:

What are these books?

It's a series of books by "Pseudonymous Bosch". Here's the complete series collection at Target:
The Secret Series

Not only is the name of this series a secret, but the story is, too. For it concerns a secret--a big secret--that has been tormenting people like you for over . . . oh no Did I just mention the secret? Then it's too late. I'm afraid nothing will stop you now. Read this series if you must. But please, tell no one.

My son got the last book in the series for his brithday and he LOVED it. I'm going to get him the rest for Christmas.

Thanks! I had that first one in my Amazon cart for a bit and wondered about them. I'm glad to know it's a hit. I think I'll get him the first for Christmas.

A lot of things mentioned are on my list for my 7 yo, however one thing I didn't see are Jaw Bones:

They are a great building set! The parts stay together well yet are easily manipulated/turned. DS got a small set as a gift and we are going to get him some more.

I just bought this Laser Tag set for DS1. The price I got it at ($18.xx) is the lowest it's ever been (according to camelcamelcamel.com) and it gets excellent reviews! Our 9 year old neighbor boy is here all the time and I bet he and DS will have a blast playing with it.

Oh, and I just ordered this Cyclaws Remote Control Vehicle for $36.80 which is the lowest it's ever been as well. It's $50 on the TRU website. DS1 keeps mentioning wanting a remote control car and talks about the Cars 2 car, but this one seems way better.

The Razor Rip Rider is so much fun!!! My son loves it! (He is 7 yrs. old.)

Every kid in our cul-de-sac wants to ride on it. The kids fight over
who gets the next turn.

This will be DS's big gift. Also getting beyblades, hex bugs, itunes gc, Redskins gear, Penn State gear, and whatever else I think of later!
