    It's a decent little toy that my 7 year old daughter enjoys controlling and talking to...and is now interested in programming him! My cats are fascinated and afraid of BB-8, especially when on patrol. His little head pops off a lot which can be annoying, but it allows for the authentic movement, no doubt.

    Very interactive. My son loves it. I would warn that fuzz gets into the rollers for the head and I need to find a better way to clean it . Otherwise tons of fun.

    I bought this for my son-in-law for his birthday. He was so thrilled with it – I really had to laugh. The cat and the baby also are getting a kick out of it.

    So this is just a real droid. Probably the coolest "toy" I've ever played with. If you can find one of these, you must buy it. It is really something to behold.

    I bought this for my daughter (24 years old, haha) after she saw the movie and fell in love with BB8. It's a great unique device that is an instant classic.

    I thought it would do more than what it does. It is cool, but not for $150.

    It's fun, it's unique, and it's Star Wars. This toy has a lot going for it; but at the end of the day it IS just a remote controlled soccer ball essentially.

    It's fun for a few minutes, then becomes repetitious. It has it's nostalgia from the Star Wars universe, and would be nice if only used for a display piece.

    We got this Black Friday for $30. It was a present for a 6 year old. The two things that need to be noted: 1>The first charge takes 3 hours and you will get 1+ hours of play. 2>There are NO instructions in the box or online. We had to watch a review on YouTube to figure out some of the features. However, we still give it 5 stars.
