They say life-size but then they go on to say over 16″ tall. Well it needs to be way over 16″ to be life-size. BB-8 should be 26″ to be 1:1 scale. Is 16″ a typo?
in reality it’s not 16 inches …it’s the size of a beach ball so 26 inches is 1 /1 scale…I guess I won’t be buying this after all..the one that they have at Target is just about lifestyle unfortunately target won’t sell their displays
It’s not that it is a bad product but I feel let down big time that “life size” was used in the title of this story. Not sure if this is due to Spin Master or InsideTheMagic.net. Whoever it was… shame on them. 🙁

It was confirmed that the posted size is not a typo. Here are images from Toy Fair: http://www.yodasnews.com/nytf-16-spin-master-booth-images/

I’m so disappointed that i bought the sphero version that was $150 and the size of my hand. For $30 more I could’ve had this!?!? Oh well.

Sounds cheap for something like that. Whats the catch?

Catch is, it doesn’t come with an app.
