    Quick to get around. Head falls off. Bb-8 not always responds after 10 feet and app sometimes freezes or maybe just my phone, galaxy prevail. Would be better if BB-8 made noises and not from the phone and include camera inside eye to see where BB-8 is when roaming. Overall fun to play with and happy to have it. Also being a Star Wars collector. Would be cooool to see something like this for Star Trek also!!!

    This product really exceeds my expectations. It is super fun for the kids and the cat loves it as well. It was REALLY hard to get my hands on one as the Force Friday deal was horrible on Best Buys part to have these available or at least help customers place orders for them (I placed 2 orders and after 3 weeks later place another order and got it within days) 3 orders/3 weeks later I got one. Product is awesome/Best buy customer service... Not so much.

    I give this product five stars because it's exactly what I expected it to be. I will say, it can be a little difficult to control at some times, but once you get used to it, it's really fun. And setting it on patrol is great. Just sit back and watch it zoom around.

    Big Star Wars fan! As soon as I saw some of the videos online of this little guy I knew i had to have one. Was a little smaller than I was expecting but it still loads of fun. Setup and operation are a breeze. A must for any Star Wars fan even with its costs.

    While the price tag is hefty, so was my love for BB-8, and the heart won out in the end. Smaller than expected but endlessly fun, my only complaint was that if my phone's audio is other occupied then you cant hear his adorable voice

    This is definitely worth the money! So much fun! Although it does not have a ton of features in the free app, this product still feels like a pet. Plus it does not go to the bathroom.

    Grandson's favorite Christmas gift

    My grandson received a new puppy a few days before Christmas that was being "loved" half to death. When he opened this on Christmas morning poor puppy finally got put down. Now of course the puppy is being stalked by the Droid. This was the best gift ever according to one 8 year old toy expert (and his papa).

    Got this for my spouse for Christmas (big Star Wars geek) and it is fun and cute but after awhile you're reminded it's just a toy and the fun wears off. Now it's a nightstand companion. Still gets 4 stars because it works as you'd expect and is pretty genius.

    If you want a sphero, why not get the bb-8 version. It is a fun toy. Works well with my iphone and as a bonus is a great cat toy.

    Great product, so much fun! If you want to bring home a bit of The Star Wars lifestyle a droid is a great way to start. This is fun for the entire family! My neighbor also a Star Wars fan loved it and went out and bought one of his own!

    I got this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He is 23 but this toy is fun for any age. The only bummer is that it gets stuck on thicker carpet sometimes, but other than that it's awesome.
