BB-8 is a droid which appears in the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie and thanks to Sphero and their cooperation with Lucasfilm and Disney Consumer products, we are able to have a smaller version of it in our homes, which sports some of the featu...

Star Wars branding, Simple controls, Accurate controls, Durable, Design/personality is appealing, Learns room layouts through Patrol mode,
Head falls off often, Head's wheels attract dust, lint, and pet fur, Have to re-pair with app every time BB-8 is used, Lasting appeal is questionable, Messages feature is unimpressive, Voice control was unreliable at times, Droid sounds go through the iPh
It's impressive how far a bit of paint, a head, and some droid-like sounds go towards turning the Sphero from a simple robotic ball to a toy with a lot of personality. BB-8 is an undeniably cute toy, but as with some other Sphero products, I question how...
It was difficult at first to separate the excitement over a Star Wars product you can drive with your phone with the excitement over another Sphero product. While it isn't lost on any of us just how weird it is to get excited over a toy verison of a Star...
Authentic design. Easy setup. Great manual controls. Fun and simple app.
Expensive. Gets dirty fast. Can't detect elevation. Magnetic head frequently falls off. Doesn't really learn anything. Grainy holographic messages. Voice commands are iOS-only. Long charge time
Sphero's $150 app-enabled BB-8 Droid is a fun robotic toy, but the novelty wears off once you realize there's not much to do with it beyond driving it around and watching it bump into things...
Irresistibly cute, Plenty of options, Roomba-esque Patrol mode, Cats will love this
Not cheap, 1 hour battery, Hard to control, Hologram selfies are weak
Sphero's BB-8 is a hell of a lot of fun and is undeniably charming. But it's also £130. For something that's essentially a remote controlled car that can't handle thick carpets or traverse gentle inclines, it's a bit steep (pun intended).The fact that you...
As with the rest of the droid's features, this requires you to have Sphero's app on during the entirety of the film, both so BB-8 can "hear" what's going on and react accordingly: You're going to want your iPhone plugged in if you don't want a massive bat...
Abstract: The "BB-8 by Sphero" is a robot toy that combines the high-tech remote-control spherical fun of the original Sphero with the life force of the newest droid hero from Star Wars. This is the "ball droid" you've likely seen in the first, second, and/or third...

Remember that time all those parents were fighting over Tickle Me Elmo toys before the holidays? You can probably expect to see the same thing happen between Star Wars fans desperate to buy a store’s last BB-8—except they’ll probably be using plastic ligh...
