Yes!!! So pumped to see this finally released. The mechanics of this toy are so cool. @rossingram how do you see this marketed, to adults vs kids (or both)?
Ross Ingram
@davidspinks everyone that wants a Droid in their life :)
Josh Barkin
Want one of these, obviously. Really smart move by Sphero too. The only thing that's disappointing, at least from the video, is that it droid looks too glossy and illustrated. I think if this droid's texture was more rugged, with a matt finish and some subtle imperfections to it, then it would be even more authentic and totally awesome.

I knew, the minute they let the cat out of the bag about BB-8 on this viral video (https://youtu.be/A_K10fX9DSY), that a Sphero toy would be imminent! Didn't expect it this soon. This will definitely be the hard-to-find toy come holiday season. #bleepblip

How does that head stay on there? Is it magnetized?

Oh My Stars. Can't wait to take this thing for a walk in the park and be the coolest kid around. (100% serious) Note: This is how it's done, as opposed to the great Baby Groot Fail of 2014.

Even though my product is also on PH today, I can't help but upvote this. Looks like it will be so much fun.

Co-founder of Celery here. We're super excited to be helping the Sphero team with pre-sales for the BB-8!

This is genius, @rossingram and team. Waiting for the Star Wars puns to roll in...

When can we buy it?
Daniel Jacob Archer
@w1tch_ It's available at all Apple Stores, Best Buy, Disney Store, and their website starting at midnight tonight! I think all Disney stores are open at midnight to celebrate!

Easiest purchase I'll make this year. Well, this and the Millennium Falcon drone.

Why this is not the first product ever?!?! :D

My childhood fantasies are coming true...I can't wait.

I feel like my credit card just jumped out of my wallet to buy this. Squeeeeee!
Saul Sutcher
Love this. Bravo on taking the feature set further than just a controllable BB8
Sam Houston
Love this! Thinking about getting one for our office :)
David Bellisario
This is going to be a best selling and probably a cult.

So @rossingram .. is this the droid I am looking for? *apologies, couldn't help it*
Ross Ingram
@zedsq Yes. This is the Droid you're looking for.

Very cool. Paired with Thalmic Labs' Myo and you are a Jedi.
Gökcan Degirmenci
Cool 🐧 but I really want to see this with integrated action cam! It would be more awesome 😎
