    This toy is fun to play with but it works best on hard floors. The patrol mode has issues on carpet since it has an issue getting started. The app is constantly updated, so there are new things you can do.

    Very easy to setup and understand how to operate! Gave as gift to nephew and he uses the wrist band remote with it as well. The adults had fun with it as well. Entertainment for the whole family.

    I bought for my grandson who's 4 years old. He loved it and very strong material it is recommended for 8+ , but he had dropped few times and it is still in great condition. So much fun for my grand son ..lil expensive for a 4 year eld kid, but worth it especially if is a fan of bb8 ;)

    Of all the Sphero droids, and with its only other toy competition being Hasbro's hero-droid version, this is the definitive BB-8. He can do everything each other droid can, and even without the "battleworn" cosmetic, the voice activation still works in the BB specific App. Just outstanding and legitimately brings me joy. Be sure to clean the underside of his dome every now and then to ensure his health and happiness. You know, insofar as that exists in droids.

    This is pretty cool. My older child loved driving it around and figured out the force band really quickly. My younger kids loved chasing after it :) I considered buying one to keep on my desk just because it’s actually kind of heavy and looks well made.

    Mimics the movement of BB-8 well. Little hard to steer because of it sometimes but still lots of fun.

    Its a great toy. Super cool BB8 we purchased it on sale during christmas season for my son and the forceband was free only in best buy. My son is really having so much fun playing with it and showed it to his friends. So fun to see BB8 rolling around the house. The only problem is that bb8 can get under furnitures with smaller spaces and gets stuck. We broke snap his antenna while taking it out under furniture.

    Purchased for my 3 and 8 year old. Both had a blast running it all over the house. We have only had it for a day but it seems to be holding up well to the abuse.

    Really excited to see how this works. Your staff took me on a trip to find something for a little girl that already has everything! Very thankful for his time.

    We are enjoying this droid. Overall good product, I was hoping the "patrol" mode was more than just bb8 slamming back & forth into walls, but it is still a fun mode.

    Bought it for my son. He loves it, it works great on wood as well as carpet floors. It came with a wrist band which also controls it great.

    I compared this BB8 to others and decided to do this one. This particular one came highly recommended from a friend who had an original Sphero.
