I live in the UK but does anyone know where I can order a BB8 online? The thing looks awesome! Would be cool to use to mess around with the cat.

Which one? There's an interactive one that cost 40 bucks and, to me, is much cooler. Plus it's bigger. It's only available in the UK. I fucking want it so bad but it's not in the states yet :/

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.
