I received the Sphero BB-8™ – the app-enabled Droid™ for free however the review is my honest opinion and includes affiliate links.

When the first series of teaser trailers came out for Star Wars: The Force Awakens there was these crazy little droid tearing along the sands. It was completely round but had a little head on top. People lost their minds wondering how that could even be possible. How could there be a completely round droid rolling around with a head unit. It looked likes something impossible but yet… Sphero created a personal miniature sized version of the droid, BB-8 and it is incredible.

When I first got the Sphero BB-8, I was impressed by the packaging. It was so cool. BB-8 was encased in foam to keep from bouncing around and his inductive charging base in the foam directly below.
