    Bought this for my kids. They really enjoy playing with it. I could see the novelty wearing off after a while, but it's worth the money. I paired this with the Force band, and despite being hard to find whether it works or not with R2-Q5, it does work. The mobile app is pretty good and Sphero Support was amazingly quick to respond. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that you can use the Sphero EDU app to program the droid as well.

    Nice exclusive if you are a hard core collector but functions exactly the same as R2-D2.

    I got this right after it went on sale. I think I paid like 40 or 50. Originally it was about 100 and something but for what i paid I think it's worth it. Fun little toy to pass time and also you get to marvel at how far robotics has come. There was once a time when your toy would just play music from a press of a button (90s oldy here) but this is a very smart toy. All in all, it's worth buying at the sale price for some fun.

    I have a couple of those robots, this one and a R2-D2, and one of the fun functions is that they can interact with each other, seemingly having some robot conversation, randomly, just by sitting next to each other on the shelf. I love those Sphero robots, those are not only nice toys, but you can play around with some basic programming and get the kids interested in the stuff.
