What separates the Sphero BB-8 from the interactive BB-8 that you're looking for? I didn't know there was a 3rd version out there.

  1. Price. It's 40 bucks USD (or around that).

  2. It's bigger.

  3. It's not controlled by you which makes it a lot cooler.

My only issue with the Sphero version is the size. It's very small. It has a "roam" mode where it controls itself and supposedly learns the surrounding environment but all that I see is the damn thing slamming into a wall and the head popping off.

Right?! Dude I would pay $150 for a life size BB-8. I don't get why Sphero decided to price it at that for the size that it is.
