Looks superb!
Want!
But don't want to wait for Christmas.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Well, I reckon that will cause many a Christmas punch up, when supply will undoubtedly fall short of demand
Oh that is cool! Thank goodness I have a 9 year old to justify its purchase!

Hold on fellas, apparently there's a Millenium Falcon drone coming next month.
My nephew just bought the AAT for £18.50
Lost a piece already!!!! Grrrrr
They look totally "sick"
The pricing is such a shame ..
Still Xmas presents maybe
In stock here, probably sell out before xmas: https://www.firebox.com/product/7260/Sphero-BB-8
Personally would love one, but my kids are too young, and I doubt I'd play with it for very long.
The Falcon drone on the other hand, thats an instant purchase.
Ordered. BB-8. Now can I keep it hidden until Christmas!
Not that impressed with the drone!
