My timing stinks. I bought him a Game Boy advance last year a few months before SP came out.:disgust:

Yep, I second this idea

A kit one would be best, something you can make together, and he can see his work come together, and then get to play with it

gamecubes have dropped below $100 w/ that zelda collection(does not include wind waker).

i don't think that is considered that techie though.

What about Tehnics?

He has a Dreamcast and his own computer with a network DSL connection.

lego mindstorms is very cool but might be a little advanced.

 

[XZeroII]

Slot Cars! WOOT!

 

[slag]

i think a gameboy advance is more suited for a 4-5 yr old, not a 7 yr old

Remote control anything comes to mind or a laptop for a 7 yr old. Nothing fancy.. just a pentium 2 or 3 laptop

Kids love 2 way radios also.

 

[Papagayo]

Anything LeapFrog...

Mindstorm is cool. He's pretty clever (a chip off the old block!) so he may be able to handle it. Good tip!

For $7, PC game classic The Incredible Machine!

 

[Riprorin]

Thanks, he'll enjoy that. He has a similar PC game that he enjoys (I don't recall the name) but this one looks more interesting.

I'd like to get him slot cars but we don't have any space for it - we use our basement as living area.

My 9 year old daughter wants iQuest (LeapFrog). I think my mom is going to buy it for her upcoming b-day.

Robotix - I'm pretty sure they are still around and the sets are designed for different age brackets starting at 6 or 7 years...
