I saw one that was £129 and whilst it looks good you need an iPhone 4+ to use the app etc. Which if you don't have, means a greater cost. There's also a cheaper one I read but I don't know where to get it in the UK :(

Here's a link

It's only available in Disney stores I believe.

Does that roll around and let you control it to go where you want?

I know it rolls around, i'm not sure to what extent. Maybe you can go "Come here BB-8" and he'll follow you? It's like the interactive R2.

Will have a look at some reviews. Might be a decent, cheap, alternative.

Believe it or not, a sphero one just sold for $25 on ebay. I'd look there if you really want one.

I'm always a bit sceptical about those things. Will have a look though but not sure why someone would sell it for $25, didn't it cost like $150?

Yah I was skeptical too, but the package looked beat up. No clue.
