This of course is a never ending list since these items are invariably cheaper in US. However, mind the voltage dependency as well. You can get a good step-down transformer (1000Watts) for Rs 2000 to 2,500 in India and normally you can continue using these. However, you need to make sure your kid doesn't plug one of these items directly into the wall - with a mix of 110 and 220 volts items, it does become bit messy and you need to keep reminding yourself about where to plug-in what. Items like camera, laptop etc are not a big issue since most of these handle dual voltage well. Cost is definitely a factor - a good 55'' LCD/LED TV can cost you 1/3 more in India than buying in US. Also, shops don't have too many models in big sizes and finding the model that you need could be a challenge.
Shopping and buying early makes lot of sense here as well - you need enough time to decide on a good model (you are buying these for the long haul). Also, things like Home theater take time to setup and figure out (going by my personal experience). If you think the model is not good, you need to time to return and get a new one as well. So, deciding, shopping and buying these things early on makes lot of sense.
