I'd like to see intelligent Lego like these blocks, able to colour change, output audio etc and be self charging when plugged into other lego blocks can communicate with say a Lego base that acts as the charging dock to charge their batteries when needed!
Toys of teh future are way cooler than toys I (we!) had.

It's awesome, I'll give it that, but I still rate a toy Optimus Prime or Thunder Cat sword (the one with the little light up red logo?) as better 
Edit - the spelling game..sounds awfully like the 80's orange game with blue words...what's it called? Speller? Or something.

Truely impressive stuff.As has been said abot keeping the cost down, if it can be done, we'll be seeing those everywhere in no time, what a brilliant learning tool.

As an idea it is great, but it is wrong as a toy.
The purpose of a toy is not just to keep kids busy, but it is to release the imagination.
If you pour a bowl of Lego in front of a child they could build:
a car, boat, plane, spaceship, hospital, nuclear weapons factory, farm...anything. Anything the child can think of, can be done. The child can then create their own interactions between lego characters.
You pour a bowl of these in front of a child, they can...do maths (how fun), create words (probably the most use of imagination), or create music loops (some imagination but with limited options as each instrument only has 4 versions). I don't see the point in the interactive cartoon, as again it is very limited to what the programmer has allowed interactions wise.
Toys these days are trying to be too inteligent. These may be useful in schools but as has already been said, they will be too expensive for most, and surely an 80p calculator could do the same maths problems.

Pretty cool
It says on wikipedia that they have their own nuclear reactor, I'm guessing it'll be a fission reactor of some sort.

the applications for classroom use are amazing, if he can churn them out at a reasonable price, it could be fantastic for the classroom
VERY impressive
