R/C Laser Combat Cars

These tiny R/C cars are controlled via gamepad-like controllers and feature infrared lasers that can be fired to disable the competing car. To mix it up, each car has a faux "recoil" when the lasers are fired, while a button activates a five-second shield that protects the car from being tagged. And hey: "The manufacturer has confirmed that this item meets U.S. Federal toy safety standards for lead."

$100 at Hammacher Schlemmer, or $20 at Chinatown crap vendor within a few months.
