Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Special Edition BB-8™ App-Enabled Droid™ with Force Band™ for its ease of use, fun factor, and impressive movement. The force band and app provide good control, although some customers feel the droid is smaller than expected and the head can detach too easily.

    This is a fun toy. A little tricky at first but then easy to figure out in the end. Totally want to buy the R2-D2 now also!

    I got this item for my son and he just loves it. I was only able to play with it one time before I gave it to him for Christmas and it was really cool. He won't let me play with it anymore so I guess I'm going to have to get my own. A must-have for any Star Wars fan.

    Got this as a gift for my daughter who, like her dad, is a Star Wars fanatic. I had low expectations as I have serious remote control models but this definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of functionality and build quality, especially at the price it's offered for!

    I bought this for my 7 year old for Xmas he loves it. BB8 is just like it is in the movie. I was really surprised he moves just like Droid in the movie his sounds are like that the holograms everything is amazing. The force bad really makes him feel like he is a Jedi

    He is little smaller than I had imagined. Very light but solid. Great sculpt and paint job is perfect. I was surprised the instruction sheet in the box did not tell full function of the product, YouTube help much better. Overall, this BB-8 is a very great product.

    Got this gift for my girlfriend who is a major Star Wars fan. She played with it for hours. The control were easy and she loved the special edition bb8. The force band is not required but she completely geeked out by using it. She did say it was the best gift ever.

    The BB8 Droid with Force Band that I purchased for my son is Really Fun to play with, he Loves it!! It took a little practice to control the robot with the Force Band. After he got the hang of it it worked perfectly. And the extra activities you get with the Force Band just add to the fun!

    My wife wanted this for Christmas. I know it's details are pushed for kids but she is a huge Star Wars fan and loves this little guy rolling around the house. It's funny watching our dog watch it granted it had to learn that it wasn't a toy for her.

    My niece wanted this for Christmas and she has a blast with it. The force band is easy to use and control BB8 with. This one is much better than the cheaper version we got last year where the head fell off all the time, This one stays together!

    Picked this up for my 9 year old for Christmas. He loves his BB8 and when not cruising him around the house, he is using his force band in weapon training mode. Great piece for collectors and fans of Star Wars (big and small)!
