This one is awesome
on September 2, 2017

The BB 8 lego set is awesome I got it during Force Friday at our local store. I got home and built it right away it took me about 4 hours he has some awesome features like moving his head and sticking his lighter thumb out. Very well worth the money. It's my first lego set in a few years and I'm back on the lego train!
I would recommend this to a friend!

BB8 Extra Large Edition
on September 2, 2017
Posted by: DarkSamus
This adorable little guy has already got his Ucs debut with the Last Jedi line, I absolutely loved him in the force awakens and was eccentric when I saw that he was getting a big release. He is a good price for the pieces and the build is phenomenal! He's not too big, but that's fine by me as he is a smaller droid after all. His primary functions are wobbling his head around and giving the blue thumbs up! Both features are activated by these 2 working knobs on his side and work flawlessly, his head is also connected with a rubber band so that when you do turn his head, it looks more realistic and animated. Overall this set is fantastic and cute, any star wars fan would love this and definitely any Lego fan!

Easy Fun

I liked this kit. I am a huge Star Wars fan and my R2 needed his pal. BB-8 was an easy build. I completed it in just under 3 hours. The internal mechanism is cool although I did have some issue trying to get the lighter to be pointing upright when activating. Might take a few tweaks to get it to point upward more. There was only 1 piece missing, which was no biggie. I've always got 1 or 2 extras laying around. I'd recommend this for anyone that loves the lego experience! It's fun and my mode for relaxation!

Fantastic

This was my first ever lego set bought for me as a present and as soon as I seen it I couldn't wait to get building, the whole building process is so enjoyable and satisfying, the building process was not difficult at all because the instructions are very clear and the final result is amazing.
There isn't really anything that could make this set better apart from mabye lights and sounds.
The only minor thing I think could be changed about this is that there could be some attachment to the door on the front to close it when you wind back the welding torch but it's not really anything major and the set itself is still amazing.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone do not hesitate to buy it looks great and is great value for money.

BEEP WOO!!

First off, let me say that I love this set! My wife surprised me during a rough week by leaving it wrapped in my office. I hadn't even realized that this was a set!
The build was incredible-- sure, it's a bit repetitive, but I found each side of the sphere to be varied enough to hold my interest. The small nuances in each side keep the overall build from becoming stagnant. I took my time over 2 days to put the little guy together, and he was such a blast! A good blend of technic and block pieces-- and the details are incredible!
What surprised me most was the play feature! A rotating plate on BB-8's stage-right side spins his head, while a single rubber band around the spinning mechanism makes the head bob forwards and backwards as it spins. The action adds a huge amount of fun to the final, assembled product. I find myself going back to swivel his head multiple times per day.
The display is an added bonus, too. I think it helps him look more "official"-- certainly, it keeps him from accidentally rolling anywhere!
I would recommend this for just about anyone, as long as you like the look of the set! The plates are held in with technic pins, and the spinning discs on each side are easy to reattach if they accidentally pull off. Overall, a fun build, a fun finished product, and a sturdy model!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent

My sons adore this BB8, so much in fact that I had to purchase a second one from our local Lego store as they were constantly arguing about where it should sit. The head movement is simply amazing and very well rendered as well as the torch mechanism from the front of the model. My middle son found this a bit fiddly to build but with a bit of help was fine. Thanks Lego for another great model that has provided hours of building fun.

B B-RILLIANT

I bought this set because I wanted to add a fun and different piece to my lego starwars collection. This was the perfect choice as BB-8 is an iconic Star Wars character and he brought a nice brightly coloured touch to the collection. The build was quite challenging and towards the end got too repetitive for my liking. I also found that when I placed him on the stand he would never fit perfectly and when he did a bit broke of this was very frustrating. All in all though I love this set and I think it is worth the money I highly recommend this set.

This is the set you’re looking for
on November 13, 2017

Saw it leaked just before force Friday and I knew from the moment I saw it that I had to get it. If you or someone you know is a BB-8 enthusiast then stop reading this now and go buy it. But if you’re skeptical read on, a lot of people say the only real con for the set is it’s size, however I feel like if it was any bigger you wouldn’t want to pick it up in fear of dropping it and possibly even weight (I’m not calling this set heavy). TheLEGO designer that designed this set out did themself. The clever color coded panel building and “hollow” interior design is a true testimont to the skill these designers have. Then they gave us a treat by packing BB-8 with action features that are a nice homage to the movie and almost make BB-8 feel alive. The genuine brick detail that went into this set cannot go without saying as it looks even better in person. The value of the set is everything I could of asked for since it seems that LEGO has inflated over the past 10 years or so in price it’s nice to get a set that even with paying for Disney and Star Wars branding, we get a set that seems right on the mark with its price tag, this should be on the list of any LEGO and Star Wars enthusiast as a must buy. I highly recommend this set and hope the same designer considers making a BB-9E set to go alongside it.
