BB-8™ App-Enabled Droid™ by Sphero - White

I'm sure that by now everyone already knows about this cute little droid, so I wont bore you with the specifications about it. It's a lot of fun to roll around the house, or to just watch it roam around by itself (and bang into quite a few walls along the way). Somehow this little droid comes across as a real Star Wars droid come to life with how he interacts with everything around him. The app that controls BB-8 is put together well, and it's very easy to use for almost any age. I do like how the developers have made it so BB-8 can receive future updates to his software. This means there will be new things added to BB-8 every once in a while to give him new actions, sounds, etc. The fact that I now have BB-8 from the new Star Wars movie in my home is really neat, but the part that makes it great is that it moves and looks almost exactly like how the movie trailers show BB-8. Overall this is a great little droid, and I think that anyone who is a fan of Star Wars, or is just attracted by BB-8's cute looks should buy him. Even though it is a little pricey, it's worth it in my opinion.

Cute little BB-8 remote controlled droid. Works with an app on a smartphone. I still have not tried the watch with BB-8 feature that let's the droid interact while the film is played. The cats love it. It is fun to play with, but how long can you really play with a remote controlled ball? Be aware that it picks up dust and random hairs on the floor so it gets dirty quickly and the hairs and dust get caught in the wheel tracks on the head piece. It is a bit difficult to control, and only works on smooth flat floors. It is very fragile, the wires on the head can easily get bent or broken off. I knew what it was before I bought it, and I am still happy with the purchase. Not for kids unless they are careful, and what kids are careful? It is very expensive for what it is, and I was hoping for more features. Again, still love it, and I do not regret buying it.

This is a fun little Droid. The battery life has been great. Takes a nice bang into the wall well. 2 complaints though. At this price point I think it should work a bit better on carpet. Also it tends to get disoriented when turning multiple directions on a hard surface at speed. Let's not forget list price of this novelty toy is set at 149.99$. Also 2 of the phones I've used with this app/Droid get very hot after 10 minutes of use. But don't let this turn you away it's a fantastic way to pass time!

I bought him the day he came out in hopes he would be the have to have present this year. So every week I have looked to see if there were still BB-8s available and no shortage is evident so I finally opened him today instead of going and buying 10 of them to resell. I love him. He is a blast to play with. Wish I had less carpet in my home but he I still a blast.

Sphero made a really cool compact companion droid. The interaction through the iPhone gives you a futuristic experience. Bb8 will become an inseparable buddy in no time.

Both my 1 year old and 8 year old love this toy.keeps them busy and that's important to me ,to see them smile.

I did not have high expectations before purchasing bb-8. It was a pleasant surprise how much it can do and how toys are becoming more advanced. Definitely a tad steep for the price of this toy. However, I liked the packaging and enjoyed playing with the little bot and watching him in patrol mode.

My son loved his gift and the size on this bb-8 is perfect
