Description
Over the years, the magic of Star Wars has always lived on screen and in our imaginations. Thanks to our advancements in technology, we’ve made it possible to bring a new part of Star Wars: The Force Awakens into your home.

Meet BB-8 - the app-enabled Droid that's as authentic as it is advanced. BB-8 has something unlike any other robot - an adaptive personality that changes as you play. Based on your interactions, BB-8 will show a range of expressions and even perk up when you give voice commands. Set it to patrol and watch your Droid explore autonomously, make up your own adventure and guide BB-8 yourself, or create and view holographic recordings.

It’s now possible to explore the galaxy with your own trusty Astromech Droid by your side. BB-8 is more than a toy - it’s your companion.

  No big deal really. $229 delivered at Apple's site. HN beat it for me and I paid $225 in store.

    For an extra $5.95 it's shipped locally, or pick up in-store at an Apple store

  Still an overpriced rolling ball toy that you'll probably end up playing a handful of times before it sits on the top shelf collecting dust…

    Sadly I agree with you. The kids haven't played much with past robots that I've brought them, so I'll be resisting buying this one.

      Me and the wife are in the same boat as you. The kids have even said "I'll use some of my Christmas money towards buying it". Meanwhile the mini quad copters, Xbox360, other tech items etc just sit there in drawers. Funny thing is the Lego (standard and technic) keeps getting brought out to be played with all year and so do the soccer balls and the backyard cricket set.

  I'm not getting involved with any of this star wars shit until I've seen the movie. For all we know ant of these characters could be the next jar jar binks.
