One of the featured items -- and the most expensive -- on the list is KOTA The Triceratops Dinosaur from Playskool, which sells for about $300. Measuring more than 40 inches long, the robotic dinosaur uses advanced electronics and animatronics to react to touch and sound with realistic movements. It also features sensors on 11 parts of its body, which will trigger KOTA to move his head, tail, horns, or even roar. It also has a spring-loaded seat on its back, which allows children to ride on its back. KOTA also comes with leaves that it will eat when fed.

Another robotic toy that's expected to be popular this season is ThinkWay's Ultimate Wall-E, which sells for $289.95. The interactive robot -- which was featured in Disney's hit movie -- has the original voice from the movie and has the ability to dance, play music from an MP3 player, follow your child around or explore on his own. He comes with a programmable remote control that will allow a child to create more than 1,000 actions for him to perform.

The third most expensive item on Toy Wishes' list is Lego Agent's Mission 6: Mobile Command Center, which sells for $89.99. The Lego command center allows your child to have the ultimate spy adventure, complete with agents, villains, and all of the tools needed for undercover missions.

Kids can get active this season with Hasbro's U-Dance game, which sells for $74.99. The electronic dance system plugs into a television and features motion-sensing technology that allows the players to control the game and perform their own dance moves without the limitations of a dance mat.

According to Toy Wishes, another top toy for boys this holiday season is expected to be Bakugan Battle Brawlers ($12.99).

For girls, the Bratz Really Rock doll ($19.99) is expected to be popular, as is the Pacific Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker ($29.99), and the Disney Clickables Fairy Charms Starter Set ($29.99).

Both boys and girls alike could be asking for the Crayola Glow Station, which sells for $29.99.

For younger kids, the magazine lists Wild Planet's Animal Scramble ($29.99), Vtech's Sit To Stand Alphabet Train ($49.99) and Fisher Price's Wonder Pets "Is This Serious!" Ming-Ming ($37.99) as popular items.
