I like the part where he and the Roomba greet each other 'good morning' and then he goes for a ride on the Roomba.

HE COMES IN ENGLISH!!!! :D
But I fear putting him together may be too complicated for me. Even if I could afford it.
BTW, look who appears in the magazine in the end ;)

Naw, I've been watching the Japanese video assembly instructions on YouTube (and I don't understand the language) and building Robi is easy! All you need is the screwdriver that comes with it. The hardest part is programming the servos with the provided programmer, and that is easy too. (Watch the videos and you'll learn how to count to twenty in Japanese.)
