Reddit reviews Original BB-8 by Sphero (No Droid Trainer)

Anywhere?

Is this the good one?

This is the product with the cheaper, retail price (Amazon). I'm not sure why anyone on reddit would ever link to a product's Best Buy page instead of Amazon anyways. Best Buy is upcharging it 30 dollars above the retail price as is typical of a company that I only use to view products in-person and then price-check on Amazon...

Edit: Apparently the Best Buy link is to the Canada store so go there if you are from Canada... Go to mine if in U.S. Also, prime shipping will allow you to get it by Christmas.

To be fair they did link to canadian best buy, which is about the same prices as the american amazon accounting for exchange rate. This is the canadian amazon which is a rip off at $250 cad

Amazon has them too: http://amzn.com/B0107H5FJ6/

Is there a price point to stay under or around?

If it's under $20 I would recommend this terrarium. It's educational and kind of awesome.

If we are just staying under $100 I would recommend zoomer kitty. Fun for kids, and parents. Helps to teach some responsibility in having a pet.

If we are going all out then the sphere bot Would have to be my recomendation. It's fun, has multiple things it can do and will help unite families in their love of star wars themed items!

Much cheaper on Amazon.

If you are looking for snack ideas, there are several Star Wars cookbooks with themed recipes and fun names that you could use:

• Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes
  
  
• Darth Malt and More Galactic Recipes
  
  
• Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones, and Other Galactic Goodies
  
  
• And a new one will be released the day the movie comes out "BB-Ate: Awaken to the Force of Breakfast and Brunch"
  
  There's also a party book with more recipes, games and decoration ideas:
  
  
• The Star Wars Party Book: Recipes and Ideas for Galactic Occasions
  
  As far as giveaways go, there are plenty of directions to take that. I went to a screening of The Force Awakens and they sold raffle tickets for a chance to win one of several gift bags. The good thing is, there's a ton of Star Wars merchandise so chances are that you will be able to find just about any item to fit your price range and employee demographics. Here are a few ideas.
  
  Expensive:
  
  
• Vouchers to visit the new Star Wars Disney theme park when it opens in 2019.
  
  
• Voucher for passes to Star Wars Celebration (Official Star Wars convention) in 2019.
  
  
• Prop Replicas. Ex.- Captain Phasma's Helmet, First Order TIE Pilot Helmet, Anakin/Luke/Rey's Lightsaber
  
  
• Star Wars Battlefront II (with or without X-Box One or PS4)
  
  Moderately Priced:
  
  
• Sphero BB-8
  
  
• Blu-Ray collection of the films- Ep. 1-6, Ep. 7 and Rogue One.
  
  
• The complete series of The Clone Wars- Seasons 1-5 and The Lost Missions.
  
  
• Star Wars Rebels- Seasons 1, 2, and 3 (when it is released).
  
  
• An assortment of Star Wars novels (if you need help with those, we can provide a list of the most popular)
  
  
• An assortment of Star Wars comics (same deal)
  
  
• An assortment of Star Wars video games (ditto)
  
  Reasonably Priced:
  
  
• Star Wars action figures (preferably Black Series)
  
  
• Star Was Nerf Guns
  
  
• Star Wars Jewelry
  
  
• Star Wars apparel- ThinkGeek has a nice selection, but you can find T-shirts and the like at just about any retail store.
  
  
• Ticket vouchers to see The Last Jedi again (maybe in IMAX)
  
  
  
  
  Edit: If you really want to impress your hardcore fan employees, have the limited editions of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as a giveaway. Those specific releases of the film contain a bonus disc that has the last time that the original theatrical cuts of the films were released. Most releases of the films since '97 have had various changes made to them that some really hardcore fans dislike, so copies of the theatrical cut are highly sought after by certain fans.
