To the delight of pretty much everyone,
Star Wars is back and now you can bring everyone’s new favourite droid home with you, with Sphero’s BB-8. This battle-worn little guy is app-enabled and features a Bluetooth wrist band that allows you to control it, using, of course, The Force. As the droid patrols, it will map out collisions with objects and send information back to you, or you can use him to create holographic recordings using your smartphone. This has got to be one of the best toys of the year.
