If you’re starting your Christmas shopping early, check out the deal on the Sphero Star Wars BB-8 Smart Droid, which can be controlled from your iPhone or iPad via the company’s iOS app.
This normally retails for $149.99 at Best Buy and other retailers, but Wireless Wave (of all places!) has it available for 67% off at $49.99, saving you $100. This was posted on RedFlagDeals, so it’s not going to last long. Could make a great gift for any Star Wars nerd in your family.
Update 11:49AM PT: Deal is now dead 🙁

Gary, you’re a star! Thank very much for posting that here, so wanted one for my boy and couldn’t say no to that discount 🙂
it’s going to be a great present, cheers!
Looks like almost all orders are being cancelled.
Yep, disappointing but not unexpected to be honest. They probably only had a dozen to sell.
Does bestbuy price match this?
Give it a shot and find out, they should!
Went to bestbuy. Just as the deal went dead. They honoured it anyways with a bit of smooth talking. 🙂 thanks Gary.
Lol, change your name to ‘slick rick’, Dave. nice!
Thank You! Just ordered one…what a great deal!
The kids are going to flip!
Cheers! this is a crazy price
Sadly, after jumping on this deal immediately and receiving a confirmation email, I received a second email several hours later explaining that “due to overwhelming demand” they are unable to fulfill my order.
Any recourse in a situation like this? Anyone else (or maybe everyone else!) get this email?
Please advise!
Cheers
Yes, got the same email as well
