    Last year I got the BB-8 and loved it. I was going to get R2-D2, but once I saw this version. I had to have it. The technology on this is so much fun. The built on the hardware is solid, the software runs fairly smooth but has a learning curve. Other than than, its a tech toy collectible that is great for any Star Wars fan.

    The item purchase was fine. Except the stickers placed directly on the item is concerning. Putting a sticker on the item and possible damaging the box can be of a concern to collectors. I asked the sticker be removed prior to leaving the store. I enjoy the item completely for the sake of collecting it.

    You gotta buy this and then store it for 50 years, as it will easily sell for 5 to 10% more than what you invested. That is what I am doing. If I could afford more of these I would do it as it is the best way to make 10% in 50 years time frame that I can plan on.

    I own, BB8 and R2D2. Much better than BB8 in my opinion. Reason being is you know which is the front versus left, right or back. I know the BB8 has a light to indicate which way its pointing but I find it difficult to reorient it. This and BB8 is much better.

    I purchased as gift for a teenage girl. She is on a high school robotics team so I wasn't sure she'd be interested given her skill level. She was so happy with this; quirky fun but still enough Coding & tech sophistication to make this prove an excellent purchase.

    Haven't explored all of its features yet. However, among the ones I have checked, I liked the path following feature the most. It's amazing how accurate it's in terms of going over a predefined path. This is my first toy in this series and I liked it a lot.
