Something electronic for 9 year old boy

[winkywinkola]

I am struggling to find something that will engage my eldest ds.

I would love to get him some sort of electronic gadget to keep him entertained.

We were considering an iPad mini but decided due to cost to save that gift for his birthday in April.

Recommendations for a boy of this age?

They are super fun :) At 19.99 the most expensive I have ever seen it on Amazon which is a shame :( I bought mine in September for 7.50.
