I've been wanting to buy it for a while, it's a lot of fun and with the bracelet, you get more control over the drone.

Great little droid. Head occasionally falls off if he hits a wall too fast. Would be nice if he had an internal speaker.

I grew up watching Star Wars and when my son was just a baby I was surprised how tuned into the movies he was. Fast forward 10 years and he stills enjoys them and can’t wait for the new movie to come out on the 15th. He’s been wanting this BB8 droid since his birthday in February and I grabbed it for $100 with the wrist band. Awesome deal! He’s going to love it!

We bought this for our sons 8th birthday. It was a hit! He had no trouble learning how to control BB8 once the Force Band app was downloaded(that took a bit of time). Everyone in the house has had a great time playing with it.

I bought this for my niece and didn’t really know what it was. Once she took it out and started playing with it I was very impressed with all that it can do.

I bought this as a holiday gift for my nephew. He spent the next two days playing with it non-stop. Everyone, my parents included, was in awe of the very cool robot. The toy works as described. I will also add that even though my nephew was being pretty rough with it, the robot was no worse for the wear. Very well made.

My son got this little guy for Christmas. Its full of character, and all his friends want to play with it when they come over. The app is easy enough to use... It took a little while to figure out how to configure it, but once we did, it has been a blast. The force band makes all the experience worthwhile.

Wife got this for Christmas as a gift. She really loves star wars and this thing is awesome. You move your hands, as if using the force and BB8 follows your commands.
Takes some learning to figure it out but not difficult. Wife has fun with it and BB8 moves all over.
It was a great buy
