Item was purchased online for store delivery. Was able to pick up in a good amount of time. This was my son's only request for Christmas. Checked the item out to inspect. Well made and is perfect for him. Can't wait for him to open and play with on the big day.

This is a great distraction and many hours of fun and I highly recommend for any Star Wars fan!!! I got this for Christmas from work and it has been a blast! Even my 3 year old wants to play with it. One my favorites is watching Star Wars Episode 7 with BB-8.

I bought this toy for my son on his 12th birthday. He was excited at first and he became bored with it and didn't touch it after a couple of days.
Lucky for me I was able to return it.
Thank you Best buy for taking it back.

My 9 y/o asked santa for this toy. He seemed to really enjoy it the first few days, but doesn't play with it so much a couple weeks later... this go for most things I waste my money on though... he does still play with it. Made him happy, so worth it!

Bought this for my grandson who is 7yrs old. I told my son that I was going to buy him a set of drums for Christmas. He begged me not to do that! Got him this Star Wars Sphero instead. Watching my son and grandson playing with this "PRICELESS".

I bought this for my 11 year old son for Christmas because we couldn't find a Cozmo. He told me Christmas night (after playing with it all day) he was glad that he got this set instead beacuse "the Force Band made this way cooler."

BB-8 is great, don't expect a gift card

BB-8 is great, but this package is horrible. The gift card was supposed to be delivered with a gift for my nephew, but it never arrived. I bough the BB-8 at Best Buy because of the gift card and I never received it. What a waste!

This was hands down my nephew's favorite gift this year! He was so excited when he opened it! Charged it right up and "it came to life!" I highly recommend this toy for any young Star Wars fans on your list!

Cool toy but...

It was for my 7 year old, he likes it but it's difficult to control with the wristband. Overall the actual robot is cool but the control seems too difficult. The Anki cozmo is a better investment I believe. It doesn't hold my son's attention very well.

Very cute, but maybe too expensive

I got this for our nephews because my husband read good things about it. It was the first toy they went to after opening gifts and it wasn't too difficult for them to get it set up and working. It was also really cute and they seemed to have fun playing with it while everyone else enjoyed watching it. However, the battery died pretty quickly and then it had to sit and recharge, sometimes so long they kind of forgot about it. The actual amount of playing time compared to the 6 hours we were together makes me question if it was worth the price. I don't know how much they have played with it since they went back home, and I don't think I want to ask, in case it's "not at all".

I'm in my 20s and love this little robot! It's not just a toy for kids but it's a toy for adults as well. It's interesting to get to know the knew tech out there and this bot keeps you entertained.

This is for a true stars fan who loves the unique quarks from special creations of Star Wars characters. I love it and so do the animals. There is a definite learning curve to it but super fun!

I bought this as a gift for my son. Setting up the app and force band was simple. He's four years old and understands how to use the force band which I thought might have been a problem.

My son is so excited to be getting this. He's a huge Star Wars fan and robot fanatic. He's turning 8 and has played with one in the past. It's great at helping his attention span

It's a cool little gadget.
Haven't really gone through all the different modes and features to really tell about the whole thing, but so far it's pretty neat and the droid respond very well to the different commands.

My son reviewed several different alternatives and we decided to go for Bb-8. It has been fun, he has had several hours of entertainment, but as everything else, once you master it, you stop playing it.
