The ProActive Sports Radio Controlled Incred-A-Ball is, as the name implies, a radio controlled golf ball; but don’t get any fantasies of sinking hole-in-ones from 400-yards, or magnificent puts from the edge of the green, it is a different kind of animal. The Incred-A-Ball has a radio activated gyroscope, turn it on and the ball goes crazy. It is recharged via a dock and is surprisingly cheap for a golf gadget.

For the 3rd year in a row, we bring you the coolest collection of toys on the planet. As we do ever year we add one more number to the list from the year previously which takes us to lucky number 13.
Without further ado, here is the 2008 collection of the coolest toys around. From hand crank locomotives to a dinosaur that gives bouncy rides, these toys are perfect for kids of all ages. Enjoy.
The Hand Crank Locomotives
The hand crank trains makes me wish I was a kid again, or at least a kid with rich parents.
This is the heirloom locomotive reminiscent of the ones encountered at carnivals and fairs in the 1940s that uses the simple pushing and pulling of a child’s arms on a hand-crank to propel it around an outdoor track. Each of the two included locomotives is made from cast aluminum with stainless-steel crank handles, and supports a single child up to 100 lbs. Minimal effort is required of children as they crank, so each train glides easily on precision-crafted, cast-iron wheels with a familiar “click-clack” sound with no slipping. The 30′ diam. 12-gauge circular track is made of welded steel, and sets up in under one hour with the included fasteners and wrenches; Includes two locomotives and track. Includes two nylon covers to protect locomotives. Ages 3-13.
Firing your Snowball Blaster is a simple process, pack the snow into the forming chambers, pull back the slingshot firing mechanism and let rip on targets up to 50 feet away. There are three forming chambers, which make three snowballs that are said to be perfectly spherical. You will always win the snowball fight as long as the snowball blaster is around.
Price: $30

EyeClops Night Vision Goggles
If your looking for a great excuse to buy the night vision goggles, ThinkGeek has you covered:
Here’s the situation: you wake up in the middle of the night and you have to pee. Real bad. But you don’t want to turn on all the lights, for they will burn your eyes with their incandescence. So, you either injure yourself, stumbling in the darkness, or you wet your bed. Neither is fun. If you have some of these awesome Night Vision Goggles next to your bed, you’ll be able to see in the dark and pee in safety and ease.
Ok, so you might think these things are just toys, the type that say “night vision” but really just have a pop out flashlight. Nope. These are the real deal; true infrared night vision, for the price of a toy. You can’t imagine the happy dance we did when we realized these worked really well. Now we can sneak around like the ninjas we know we are, in the dark, watching all - and you won’t be able to see us. Unless you’re a ninja too, and have some EyeClops Night Vision Goggles of your own.
If your kid loves to build stuff, especially 7′ 10′ towers this toy is for them. Plus, any company that starts with the word Uber, you now they must be good.

With lots of sound effects, including music, munching, stomping, and roaring, this baby dinosaur is a realistic creation. He even moves his head and tail and blinks his eyes.

The Floodlamp Desk Lamp is a cool piece of lighting equipment whether you love sports or not, but more so if you do. It stands 51 cm high and features a shiny chrome finish and the six lamps can be adjusted to point up or down. Other than that, it is just a lamp. The thing that got me though is the energy that this thing must burn through. It takes six E14 25W Bulbs, which seems more than a little wasteful for a desklamp. One can’t help but think that it should have been built taller, after all, that level of lighting would seem a little more appropriate in a floor lamp.
The Zamboni watch is a somewhat sports-geeky way of discreetly expressing your love for the game of ice hockey. The Zamboni is situated on the second hand of this kitsch, yet somewhat tasteful timepiece, with the face of the watch being the rink.
