BB-8 Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“Despite its fairly small size, LEGO BB-8 is full of personality. The “thumbs up” feature is pretty cool, and his wobbly head is downright charming. BB-8 will make a great display model next to R2-D2 on your office shelf or desk.”
FBTB
“75187 BB-8 won Construction Toy of the Year from this year's Toy Fair awards. It is well deserved and like I said earlier in the post, it belong on the desk of every Star Wars fan, young and old. It looks accurate but there's more to this model than just good looks. If... More you're exploring how to build geometric shapes out of LEGO, BB-8 would make a great case study into spheres. Even the two play features can teach a few things on moving parts within a model.”
Brick Fanatics
“Perhaps the reason 75187 BB-8 is such an enjoyable experience, both as a build and as a completed model, is that character sculptures come along so rarely in the LEGO Star Wars theme. If the execution is as perfect as it is in this case every time, then it really is worth... More the wait. If you buy only one LEGO set from the Star Wars: The Last Jedi range, then buy this one – BB-8 stole the show in The Force Awakens, and now the plucky droid does the same in the LEGO Star Wars 2017 line-up.”
