Nabaztag alternatives?

Question

Are there some good alternatives for a Nabaztag? We want to get several of these, but they're not cheap.

Some alternatives:

Lava Lamps
Ambiant Orbs
The mentioned Tux droid
A build dashboard on a monitor or LDC (like Hudson's Radiator View or eXtreme Feedback Panel)

Also check the following questions:

Bunnies, a build dashboard, Lava Lamps, they'll all do the job. But racing against the wax of lava lamps (as mentioned in one of the question above) is indeed fun :)

Just put our Parabuild's build dashboard on a large LCD TV in the hallway and you will get a nice build radiator.

Depends on what you want to use it for and how you want it to look. But the Insignia™ - Infocast 3.5" Internet Media Display is down to $50. It's based on the Chumby (another option to consider) and is software and hardware hackable. Info on the hardware is at http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=1140
