This year's "Tickle Me Elmo"

[ThinkAboutIt]

Star Wars/Disney's BB-8 droid will be on everyone's list. Might need two of these if you can find them, one of which should never leave the box. 

 

BB-8 also comes in an autonomous mode where it will explore its surrounding on its own. Haven't confirmed, but it looks like you might be able to monitor it though its lens.

Price: $150

Thats freakin awesome. I always wanted an R2-D2 that could do this when I was a kid....but who did not.

I knew what this was going to be about before I even clicked it lol. I believe scalpers have scooped up most of these already anyways.

You can still get them from Sphero's website directly, looks like they are making another batch scheduled to be released in October.

I ordered one. Paid for one.  Two showed up.  Hmm.

[Wyank]

I would just get it.  

 

Give in to the temptation.  Embrace the dark side of wasteful spending.

I don't know.  I haven't opened either box up yet.
