The hard part is actually rising to a
"Build us a robotic animal" type of challenge.  It's hard work.  Because with

Even after seeing Wild Windups (4093), Wild Collection (4101), and Little
Creations (4401) on a store shelf, I wasn't sufficiently inspired to pick
one up and build a mechanized animal for this event. I'm sure they are
nice sets full of new and useful pieces in beautiful colours, but that
sort of stuff is just not my thing. Micro Wheels (set 4096)? Yep, got
that. Mini Robots (4097), High Flyers (4098), and Robobots (4099)? Check,
check, check. Back-hoe (8455)? On my desk, waiting to be inventoried and
built. Clikits? My daughter loves these, and I've got more stashed away
for gifts.

So no, I'm not rising to that particular challenge.  If you two decide
that there will be room for the other stuff, then I will try to come up
with something.
