Have received an email from The Hut Group saying they have 20% off at IWOOT for the next 2 hours and it works for the Sphero BB-8 giving a £25 discount to bring it down to £104.99
Update: Have got another email for 25% off using THGPOWER discount code. Max discount is £25 though, but these are available again for £104.99.

Yeah. I recommend this cheaper alternative.. You also roll it around the floor but I can guarantee most people will get more than 5 mins use out of it.

Buy a quadcopter for a quarter of the price, you'll have at least 30 minutes of fun rather than the 5 minutes you'll get with one of these.

I'll mention this as the adverts are a bit deceiving and I was disappointed by it. The unit itself does not make any noise, all the noises come through whatever device you are using to control it. Other than that it's good fun, for five minutes.

Same with the whole Hut group (Zavvi, The Hut etc). They are terrible, but do occasionally have some good prices

These are undoubtedly massively overpriced, but they're also massively cool.
Im guessing Amazon will have a deal on this this week as they had one on today for other Sphero product. One a day perhaps?

Wait - You mean there's a new Star Wars. Why did no one mention it ? :sunglasses:

Yep..this is the Jar Jar bins of the new Star Wars.
When I see stuff like this It puts me off watching the new film in fear they've pulled another crappy jar jar stunt.
Surely they realise why the original was so popular...the characters are basic and believable. All this CGI rubbish and trying too hard with silly new characters is ruining it imho.

Er, what? BB8 is a practical effect, like the majority of whatever they can do practically in the new film. They've been very clear about that from the beginning.

I tried this for a couple of minutes in-store, and I was bored with it even during that. It's not remotely worth the money imho.

They liquidised Jar Jar Binks and poured it inside this. It's basically the most vile hamster ball in the universe.

I did post it already, but looks like a mod has removed it because it bypasses their affiliate link = no commission for HUKD! Expect to see this removed soon too.
