Q: My grandson does not have a cell phone. Could this be used with an iPad? Thank you!
A: Yes it can be used with an iPad are I used mine with an iPad or an iPhone
A: I felt the same way. The only way is to be vigilant and keep tabs on it whenever possible. I saw it go back down to $30 early in the morning when I bought it. I only bought 1. If I didn't get it when it was on sale, then so be it. I say keep an eye on it next week before Christmas as stores want to make a last minute push. This is assuming that Best Buy will drop it back to $30.
Q: Can you use your computer to operate BB-8?
A: Not sure. App is easy to download and user friendly, even on a phone screen (although can use a tablet too). You have to "connect" (pair) the device with BB-8 each time you use it, so you may be tethered to a certain area if you can use it on a computer.
Q: What age is this recommended for?
A: My 9 year old has it and loves it.
A: Maybe 18 inches. Not very tall at all.
Q: Does this have the droid trainer? Does it have the Holographic simulation?
A: BB-8 does not come with a droid Trainer, but the BB-9E does. You should be able to take the holographic Tour either way
A: No. Once cartridge PKG is opened, it cannot be returned/ exchanged. Unfortunately, honest customers are punished for dishonest ones. I bought 2 pack, one cartridge defective, so I was out the expense.
