A little while back, we went to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. I had wanted to assemble a BB-9 unit from the Droid Depot. When we first visited in June, they ran out of BB-9 parts. This time I asked first and was advised that those were not sold out. That turned out to be incorrect. So a BB-8 droid it was.

The process is fun and in the end you get a Bluetooth-Enabled, remote control droid. They respond to the environment while in Galaxy’s Edge via that Bluetooth connection, but I can’t see bringing the droid back to see it interact again. I’m still angling for a BB-9 though, and I think they respond to other droids which would be pretty cool.

Thumb’s up, would assemble again.

I guess you're not really supposed to do this at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, but I only had BB-8 out for a couple of minutes. It takes some practice to move the ball droids the way you want to.

The droids from Droid Depot roll best on carpet. Or at least turn best on carpet.
