I've enjoyed this little droid. It does not move fast at all but it is cute and the noises it makes to get your attention when you stop playing it are fun. I'm glad I didn't pay the $80 retail price for a new one but it does what it says it does and it is easy to use. If you want something fast you will need to buy the sphero version, but this was good enough for what I wanted.

Our 7 year old loves it. He has been waiting for one for almost a year, and it was a hit! Sometimes the head falls off if it hits something abruptly, so as long as you don’t run into something, it’s fine. (There is a magnet inside that always ends up at the top so putting the head back on is easy.) Can’t figure out how to power it down despite reading/following the instructions repeatedly, but it auto-powers-down after 5 minutes of inactivity, so we just do that. All in all, great fun for a 7 year old!

I had been reading reviews about this item where people have been complaining that the “head does not stay on“- really? That certainly isn’t the same as this product, the moment the head found just the right spot, it snapped in place and it stuck! The only complaint I have is that I also have a D-0 “Wobot” which apparently is the same product line and so it uses the same kind of controller on the same frequency. It’s too bad that they couldn’t program a different radio frequency for the BB unit. This is a problem that I always run across when buying the RC cars that I collect. The idea was to race them, which I can’t do because one controller controls all of the cars. It’s only a minor problem though. I put this thing on my kitchen floor and he definitely avoids being stuck, he doesn’t like obstacles and he goes around them.  Definitely a companion for my D-0! if you jostle them, they will sit there and make a little noises and movements so it gives you the illusion that they are communicating. Read full review

Star Wars BB8 is a really fun Droid Robot. Kids love it and so do adults. Every family should have one of these.

I love BB-8 and I have all three major animated versions. This one has the one issue that all mention, the head comes off rather easily, but I have had little issue with that. He's moderately quick, the remote took some time to start working, and it's sort of a pain to put the two pieces of the body back together. As an adult, he's neat and he "talks" on his own. The Sphero is my favorite, but this guy is decent sized and worth the smaller price tag. Overall, still a 5/5.

kids love it, head falls off easily, not fast or powerful, but overall a good deal on bb-8 for the buck for my 5yo.

Great item and seller was willing to go above and beyond. I recommend item and seller! Toy can use some tweaks but all can be done for little extra. If you don't want to do extra, then don't and still enjoy! (Extras involve better magnets and foam in main unit)

Absolutely love it. So much fun and easy to set up

Fun toy if you get a good deal. May eventually be frustrating trying to not knock off the head when hitting sides or even changing direction. Have patience teaching your child to control this toy...
