Fun build, looks really cute next to R2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited for this build to come. We have built many Star Wars Lego sets and love them all. BB-8 is such a cute little droid and we couldn't wait to set it up next to R2. The instructions were clear and it was super easy to put together. The wheel works just like it should and BB-8's head turns when it is rolled around. The other detail that I really like is that all the circular parts (except the door that opens) on the outside spin like little Lego fidget spinners. This set can be moved around and gently played with without falling apart. For an ages 10+ Lego set, two 40-somethings had fun putting it together. It is a little more expensive than I would have expected for a build of this size- even with it being a Star Wars set. All in all, it's adorable, fun to build, and we will be probably get our nephew one for Christmas next year.
Very cute Lego, but for the price, it should have been larger. Comparing it to my R2D2, which is one of my favorite builds, this is dinky and a bit unsatisfying to build. Even D-0 towers over it. Lego should know that true Star Wars/Lego fans want some meat to our builds. This did not check the box. Still very adorable and looks good on my shelf. Just not worth the price tag.
Lots of issues with build and pieces falling off constantly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry you're having trouble keeping your set together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build or if you find that any pieces aren't holding together as they should, feel free to give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help!
I was really looking forward to building this set. Unfortunately, I found parts of the build to be frustrating. I also found parts of the exterior design could have been better thought out. The set looks nice once completed, but getting there was more difficult than it needed to be.
