Lot's of fun BB-8 Remote control droid
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.

BB-8 I was hoping he was the have to have this YR.
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.

Outstanding
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.

Great little toy , fantastic battery life
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!
