The character from the movie is at home with you! I can't wait to get the band.. I originally got it for my 4 year old and we all love it.. I will defiantly be adding to the family with the other characters! You don't have to be a Star Wars fan to appreciate these droids.

Very disappointed with the ability to control with the force band..
Bought it for my son and he just got to frustrated trying to work it with the band. And opted just to use the iPad to control it, my hopes were less screen time.

This was a perfect gift for our 6.5 year old grandson. He brings it to visit grandparents and other relatives. He hasn't become bored with it two weeks out from Christmas. The adults love it too.

Concern is not with product, but with Best Buy. Item went to wrong address, was opened and used before being forwarded to my address. Luckily no damage and all parts were received. Item itself is great!

My kids got these for Christmas w the free wristband and they love whizzing them around with a wave of their arm. It seems very futuristic. The missions are fun although they've sort of lost interest.

My son wanted the BB8 droid for Christmas and I was lucky enough to find the BB8 at my local Best Buy and the ForceBand was included for FREE during a promotional period - thanks Best Buy!

This provides hours of fun and is very smart when paired to a smart phone. It can explore the house and be just plain fun!

Spheros are very cool STEM related tools, they can be programmed or driven with an app. It is a fun engaging toy for kids and adults.

Takes a bit to get the controls down on the wrist band but fun to drive around the house and chase the animals with.

Had a little bit of a rough start, but was able to work the kinks out and get BB-8 working. Cute, the cat loves it.

Anything above a very low nap rug and it just doesn't work.
Aside from that, tis a nice time-wasting little toy.
