Default Birthday gift for 5yo boy that will be cool for him but but annoy his parents..?

Likes Dr Who and the spin offs but his folks get him everything going from those so looking for inspiration for something a bit different, any clues from those in the know..?

Nothing like encouraging the youth of today to play with what is in effect a very big knife

Big tool kit - imagine how much fun he'd have dismantling everything in the house, then how much fun the parents would have trying to put the Plasma TV back together !

get him a full size dalek for in the house, that will really annoy the hell out of his parents, and they will be forced upstairs out of his way (as we know Daleks cant go up stairs)
