    How awesome!?! Ever since I was a little kid and saw Star Wars, I've always wanted my own droid. Now it's a reality. This little guy is lots of fun. My kids and I have had a blast running him all around the house. Great toy!

    Evil R2D2

    This is the cool, evil version of the beloved R2D2. He's great like R2 with the same controls and sounds but black with what should be a tiny electronic black heart inside to match. The perfect companion droid for a Sith.

    I love this toy. its really easy to pair and maneuver. Being a Star Wars fan, this is a must have. I was looking for r2d2 but r2 q5 was just as excellent. The sound effects and how it reacts to the environment when it moves is just super cool. A great gift for a kid or a kid at heart. Comes in a really fancy box set.

    I have wanted a Sphero product for a while and bought this when it was on clearance. It was a great price for a great product. My son and I have had a lot of fun with it. I am looking forward to my next Sphero product!

    The app makes this little guy a ton of fun! I am learning the commands - which are easy to master. The startup of the app is Star Wars! I want to purchase a Force Band so I can control the droid with the force band.

    A fun addition to my Star Wars collection. Looks great and has nice effects. Works well with the app on my iPhone or just sitting in my bookcase spying on us.

    I have BB8 and when I saw this black Sphero I had to get it. It is adorable, pretty big and a conversation starter. Probably a better gift for a younger kid but I don't mind staring at him all day.

    I normally don’t collect star was items but this is really cool. You control it using the mobile app and it makes noises and moves around. If you’re a Star Wars can this is a must to own.

    I got this on sale (about 75% off) and that really made it worth it. It's basically the R2-D2 version, just with a different color. Not worth it at full price, but definitely get it if it's on sale.

    It doesn’t get any better. Star Wars and a smart robot. It’s very intelligent and you can do a lot with it. Very fun. I have all of them and they interact well together and can watch the movie with you

    I have several of the Spehero droids. They are just fun. You canot go wrong. Works with the app or the force band. And when you use a couple together they will communicate back and forth.

    Bought this for my 10 year old boy. Setting up on the iPad was a breeze and once connected, the controls were fun. There are several modes in which the robot does different tricks.

    Great little toy. It's a blast when the kids come into the office - and when the co-workers need to leave, I just pull him off the shelf and start ignoring them. Lots of fun!
