    We got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it. It's easy to set up and fairly easy to use. He sets up obstacles and puts it in explore mode to see if it will find its way out.

    If you like BB8, you like this. It works really well and if you put in the time to learn can do alot of things. It is pretty accurate moving around but needs some room.

    My son got this for Xmas and loved it. It's fun, but then suddenly it stopped working. It wouldn't link with my iPad or his iPad mini. Very frustrating. Thankfully the folks at Best Buy were more than happy to exchange it. The new one is working fine.

    My son is a huge Star Wars fan and loves this. I have been wanting to get him one for a while but they are so expensive! Luckily I snagged one on Black Friday for $35.00.

    Cool gimmick, learning curve but plenty of fun

    Pretty fun toy. Seemingly durable construction, really cool magnetic connection of the head to stay (usually) on the top of the sphere, straightforward app installation and Bluetooth pairing. Takes a little bit of practice to control effectively but after a few minutes you can gain some confidence. That all said, it's a novelty that you probably won't play with daily after the first few days. At the normal MSRP I'd recommend purchase for only die-hard Star Wars fans. Purchased during the Black Friday promotion for $30, and I'm glad I didn't spend much more than that because of how quickly the novelty wore off.

    Fun Remote Controled Droid.

    "This is the droid your looking for." BB-ATE is controlled by a smartphone or tablet device (Android or iPhone) and all sounds emitted from droid is played from the controller. Unit runs best on hardwood floors and short carpet and does not run well on thick carpet (well its a ball). Easy to control and drive like a pro. Battery has lasted for 50 to 60 min per 2 hour charge. With the App you get additional features like Patrol, Interaction sounds and movement, pre programed maneuvers (figure 8 ect) and projected holograms that you can watch on screen that looks like its being projected from the droid using the camera. You can watch pre recorded or record your own message to warn the Jedi.

    Realistic sound and movement. Force band takes time to get use to and does not have all the controls as the iPhone. Really cool feature is bb8's ability to watch rogue one with you! Awesome!

    Bought this for my daughter. She loves it!! Has been using it everyday. From what I’ve seen it seems very easy to use but complicated enough to keep kids interested.

    When this BB-8 came out in 2016 it was pretty amazing for home tech. Mobile controlled interactive, and the movement on it is very different. A very fun little toy.

    My son received one of these on his 6th birthday. Its challenging at first to get the hang of the controls and the head pops off when he runs it into the wall but other than that is good.

    Its a beautiful technology, works great thru app and this is the only legit version. I've seen other remote control versions but they're not good as this. I Definitely recommend this one

    Wanted these when they first came out, but couldn’t bite on the $150 tag. Got this on sale. I played with it a lot at first, but it just sits on my desk now
