A First Look at The NEW Star Wars Toys from Force Friday

NEW Sphero Droids

We are big fans of Sphero products and already own the first generation BB-8 droid.  The new BB-8 includes a new standing base and the charging base looks different from the old one but other than the droid looks pretty much the same as the first gen one. The two new droids are super fun to drive and a good addition to your Sphero collection.

new littlebits r2d2

New! littleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit ($129.99) 

The littleBits R2-D2 is geared toward older children (8 and up) and I love how they can get creative and build and customize the R2-D2 themselves. I can see my son spending hours playing with this one, lots and lots of functions and operations.

Nourish their curiosity and plant the seed of creativity with this littleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit. This toolkit comes with all the magnetic building blocks needed to build and customize a fun and functional app-enabled R2-D2 droid. Once built, your R2 unit can dance, stand guard, snap selfies, deliver gifts, and much more.

NEW Star Wars Drones

O.k these were our favourite toys from the ones we played with today. The drones are so much fun! They can do tricks, go up to 35mph and they can even land smoothly. A big hit with my boys!  You get about 7-8 minutes of fly time per charge and they come with two batteries.  They also come in a special numbered edition collector box that lights up and plays memorable soundtracks, and comes with a USB charging cord for the collectors box.
