Cute looks and quailty build, Easy set-up, Fun,
Too expensive, Controls can be tricky, Head comes off too easily
Abstract: Is this the droid you're looking for? Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens is gearing up for its launch in December, and there's already a glut of merchandise out for the new movie, including what you could say is the successor to the fairly cute dr...
Simple controls, Easy to set up, Cool augmented reality messages
No level-up mode, Voice recognition is poor
As balls go, the BB-8 would easily reign triumphant in a Stuff Top 10 When you strip away its lights, high-pitched chirps and Star Wars regalia, the BB-8 is essentially a ball that you roll around with your smartphone. One that costs £130, which is £40 m...

Abstract: Sphero has always created interesting remote control toys, whether it's the original remote control ball, the Sphero, the faster and improved Sphero 2, or even the more recently release trick-focused Ollie. But the manufacturer's quirky devices likely hav...
Feel the Force, Luke, All the same great augmented app fun as the original, Plays nicely with other Sphero kit
Tougher to master than landing a bullseye on a womp rat, Force Band feels pretty cheap
Everything about this special edition BB-8 is well thought-out, from the extra paint details, to the matching Force Band, to the app's cutesy animations and added-value item hunts. It's not quite the same as being encased in carbonite, but the chunky meta...
