    I think the dog gets more fun out of this than the kids. A fun little toy to pass the time. Altho can get a little boring after a while.

    Very fun and intuitive little robot. Just wish sound came from actual robot instead of the phone or app. Great overall

    I wanted this so bad but when I finally bought it I played with it for 20 minutes and brought it back, I could not justify the money I spent.

    This is a fun and fairly well built app-controlled toy (kids 8 and up, I would say), when the clunky app works with the droid itself. The funnest part of this droid is letting him tool around on its own, using the AI mode. Another big pain is that the two pieces of the droid come apart, so if something bumps it hard or it gets stuck, the head pops off and resets the droid. Irregardless, I would still call this a win. My kids love it, and don't really care or even think about the little quirky things that drive me bonkers.

    Well designed and fun to play with. With the more reasonable price drop, recommended especially if you like BB-8.

    Easily power bb-8 with your phone and watch him zoom around the room. He also free roams and takes voice commands.

    Got this on a black friday deal that was very much discounted. Myself and my 6 year old grandson had a blast playing with BB-8, bumping into walls, losing his "head", trying to get the little dude to just run straight... that lasted a good few minutes. Not much replayability, clunky controls (via an app on your phone/tablet/ipod). I'm glad I didn't play full price for this.

    This BB-8 is rather small but is sooooo cute! I love it most when he shakes his head. "Robotically" hilarious.

    Bought BB8 for my daughter and she loves it. Had to watch the last movie a couple of times so that we could enjoy BB8's reaction.
