Yes!!! So pumped to see this finally released. The mechanics of this toy are so cool. @rossingram how do you see this marketed, to adults vs kids (or both)?
Want one of these, obviously. Really smart move by Sphero too. The only thing that's disappointing, at least from the video, is that it droid looks too glossy and illustrated. I think if this droid's texture was more rugged, with a matt finish and some subtle imperfections to it, then it would be even more authentic and totally awesome.
@w1tch_ It's available at all Apple Stores, Best Buy, Disney Store, and their website starting at midnight tonight! I think all Disney stores are open at midnight to celebrate!
Even though my product is also on PH today, I can't help but upvote this. Looks like it will be so much fun.
Co-founder of Celery here. We're super excited to be helping the Sphero team with pre-sales for the BB-8!
I knew, the minute they let the cat out of the bag about BB-8 on this viral video (https://youtu.be/A_K10fX9DSY), that a Sphero toy would be imminent! Didn't expect it this soon. This will definitely be the hard-to-find toy come holiday season. #bleepblip
Easiest purchase I'll make this year. Well, this and the Millennium Falcon drone.
Oh
My
Stars.
Can't wait to take this thing for a walk in the park and be the coolest kid around. (100% serious)
Note: This is how it's done, as opposed to the great Baby Groot Fail of 2014.
