    I got this for my son. He loved it for about a week. Now its more of a conversational piece sitting on his bookshelf. Its cute, but for the price I would not buy if I had to do over

    The BB-8 was a big hit with my son. I was looking for something he could enjoy and this little guy hit the mark, a lot more fun than a remote control car and made us all laugh.

    BB-8 is smaller than expected, but the experience of moving him around with the app is pretty impressive, and there’s a lot that the little guy can do.

    Was able to pick this up on black friday for a really good price. My little one really likes to chase this BB8 unit around the house. Tons of fun for all.

    Fun to use. Easy to set up and control. One thing that I don't like about this is it wobbles when it's not moving. Kind of annoying but still fun overall

    This droid was smaller than I expected, but much more fun that I expected too! We got the controllable watch to go with it. Configuring the two was easy, we just had to watch a short youtube clip and we had it up and running. My 7 year old loves this and has no issues working it himself. My 46 year old husband loves it just as much! For the price and functionality, this was a great deal! We've had it for several months now and it still gets used regularly and works just the same as it did on day 1. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    Sphero products are cool, and this continues it. As soon as I plugged him in, his head came to life and my kids were ecstatic. We can't wait to program him to patrol the house !

    It is a fun toy to play around with. The fun lasted about a week. It has sat on a shelf ever since. Not really worth more than the Black Friday price.

    It takes a bit of practice to get it to go where you want it to go. It would have been way better had the sound comes from BB8 instead of your phone.

    This little droid is very entertaining. He takes a little getting used to but one you get the hang of it he's tons of fun. Don't forget to watch The Force Awakens with him!

    This toy is a lot of fun to drive around. It does well on hardwood and carpet, though sometimes on hardwood it spins too fast and stops itself.

    I love this toy. It works very well. Just don't use it on a rug. Battery life isn't the best but it's still loads of fun.

    I always wanted one and now that I got one for Christmas I see why people love these. Learning to control is a little tricky but a great time.

    Was fun for the first hour or so, and then it became fairly redundant. Would be nice if the sound came directly from the BB8 unit instead of the cell phone control panel.
