I didn't get, but 8 y.o. granddaughter got a robotic hedgehog kit. "Will you help me put it together, Grandpa?"
150 parts - mostly injection-moulded PVC, but also a wee PCB, battery holder, some tiddly screws, and springs. Thankfully, the dogs didn't eat any of them.
The instructions were excellent and it did what it says on the tin, but assembly is well beyond the skills of an average 8 year old or even adult. It took me a few hours - I couldn't go home until it was done. ? Suitable for anybody who has the patience and fine dexterity - a skilled modeller, an electrician, or a surgeon. ?
