If you haven’t heard already, the Star Wars-inspired Sphero BB-8 toy will be going on sale this Friday at the Apple stores, Best Buy stores, or on the Sphero website for $149.99. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’re just going to have to take a look at the videos below. You’ll especially want to watch the Sphero BB-8 play with puppies.
This video explains how the round robot came about and shows how it works as a premiere toy.
It helps explain the purpose of the toy, yes, but what if you add puppies in the mix? Well, then you know that Star Wars merchandising has just nabbed another million or so buyers. Of course, I’m just guessing. I really have no idea if this video with puppies is going to garner anymore buyers, but cuteness does have a factor in a lot of merchandise being sold today, especially when it comes to Disney.
I have a feeling that even if I don’t get one myself, I’ll eventually see them around someone’s house soon enough.
