Sphero's Star Wars BB-8 Drone

[aeluna]

Wow sold out at disney store, brookstone and bed bath and beyond....less than 1.5 hours!

Its still up at brookstone.

 

[TonTon]

Item is no longer available for order online.

That's nuts. I assumed the inventories were separate. It was showing in stock at every store around me.

 

[Cixx]

Want one. But seems 50$ overpriced.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sold out everywhere says it was priced correctly.

 

[BOLISARIO]

What isn't overpriced in this hobby, much less Star Wars merch?

 

[Cixx]

I'm just wondering come February 99$ everywhere sale.

 

[Wor-Gar]

This BB-8 is highly appealing for a variety of reasons well beyond Star Wars. It's "the" techie toy and stocking stuffer this year I think. Great for the office... the whole family can play with it, even the cat... it's for kids, geeks, techs, fans and nearly everyone else.

 

[TonTon]

Seems like it's back in stock at Bed, Bath. Act fast. Buy now!! Go go go!!

Seriously can't wait to play with this tomorrow. And I'm very glad it's essentially 1/6 scale. R2 gets a buddy.

Damn, man, clever.

You can just return your BBB order if you wanted to still get the brookstone.com deal. If not bothered by doing that, save you some coin.

That's a good tip (especially the $25 off part), did you do this already? Where do you enter the groupon part? I'm just worried by the time i get the groupon coupon BB-8 will be sold out on the site.

The groupon says not valid with other promos coupons (not sure if the ship99 free shipping qualifies as that).

The Bed, Bath, and Beyond is a reservation so I don't think they actually charge you until you pick it up. It'd be nice to get it tomorrow, but also nice to save $25.

you get the voucher immediately. get your brookstone order ready now and see if it is in stock still. Takes about 5 minutes to get the coupon, I think you are ok. I ordered 2 tonight.

Couldn't wait. I have two days to pick it up or the preorder just goes away.

You're the man. Order confirmed. Got sweaty palms from typing everything in so fast, mostly cause I was so nervous I'd be stuck with a gift card to a place like brookstone.

This is lame, but I'm still picking mine up tomorrow from BBB. Then I'll just return the new one I get from brookstone when it arrives.

Awesome deal, just did it! Thanks for the heads up. Wondering if the Discover Card discount will apply, since it says you can't use any promo codes and you need the ship99 code to get free shipping. Even is not, still a better deal than anywhere else!
