TLDR Review: Sphero BB-8 Droid

Bottom Line

The Sphero Battle-Worn BB-8 is a solid choice if you're a Star Wars fan or hunting for an engaging toy that'll actually hold your kids' attention, plus reviewers loved its durability and the fact that it's even fun for your furry friends. Just go in knowing that mastering the Force Band controls takes some practice, the lack of built-in sound effects is disappointing, and—this is important—double-check your listing to make sure you're getting the full Collector's Edition package with all the accessories included, because some sellers are only offering the droid itself at the same price point.
