Star Wars toys keep getting better with each new movie. Two years ago, when “The Force Awakens” introduced the cute droid BB-8, Sphero introduced their incredibly accurate working version of the droid. Star Wars toys are an integral aspect of the experience: many of us grew up playing with them. So with a new movie arriving this year, Best Buy will help ensure this tradition continues by giving away almost $4000 worth of Star Wars toys in this contest! Which one are you dying to add to your collection?
Star Wars toys are not just for kids
Star Wars toys were always the coolest thing around. When we were kids they were cool, and nothing has change: kids today still love them. Interestingly, adults still love them too. They are not just for collectors either. I’ve met many adults who either still have Star Wars toys from when they were a kid, or ones they’ve acquired more recently.
I have a shiny silver Millennium Falcon that I think is great. It sits next to my computer at Best Buy’s head office. I used to have this massive tie fighter (shown in the image on the right) at my desk too. Unfortunately, our office was recently rearranged and it had to be moved. If I was to choose one of the newest toys as a replacement it would definitely be the Propel Speeder Bike Drone shown in the image at the top.

The little bits R2 because it looks like a lot of fun and I could do it with my kids, I have Star Wars statues that just sit there would be sweet to have something we could play with.
The grown up in me says the LITTLEBITS STAR WARS DROID INVENTOR KIT is the most sensible gift, as my son has motor delays, and the fine motor manipulation this would require is like physio without the boredom. But, the more fun grown up in me says LENOVO STAR WARS: JEDI CHALLENGES is the best – and therefor my fave – because it would help confirm my suspicion that *I* am actually the last Jedi.
The PROPEL SW TIE FIGHTER DRONE CLR ED because it would be awesome to be able to pilot a Tie Fighter.
It’s a toss up. Either the x-wing or the Jedi challenge. Can use either one to live out boyhood fantasies!!!
Sphero star wars BB-9 because we were well overdue for a bad ass droid!
It’s has to be the stormtrooper my little boy just has a thing for them
The Lenovo Star Wars Jedi challenge would be pretty amazing! I have yet to experience VR and would love to try it with a virtual lightsaber!!
The LENOVO STAR WARS: JEDI CHALLENGES. A VR system letting you train using a light sabre would be really cool. Plus it is close to the training Luke had at the beginning.
For me this contest is such a great opportunity to try to win the SPHERO BB-8 or BB9E. I am so amazed with this technology as I have seen them in action online.
Thanks Best Buy for offering such a cool contest!!
Jedi Challenges would fulfil a dream since I was 5 years old and saw Star Wars in the drive through. Lightsaber battles and Jedi training. It is an elegant weapon.
The BB8 RC is the one I want. BB8 just keeps on rolling no matter what. Gotta love that! BB8 became my new favourite droid the first time I saw it.
I would love the SPHERO STAR WARS R2-D2 APP-ENABLED DROID
S Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit because he’s so cute and therefore timeless, I would love it if everyone enjoyed these as much as me..
Lenovo Star Wars: Jedi Challenges because VR is always very cool and I want to become a Jedi with a real lightsaber.
Lenovo Star Wars: Jedi Challenges VR , because fighting with a lightsaber would be fantastic.
My favourite would be SPHERO STAR WARS BB-9E APP-ENABLED DROID. This is my favourite because the black droid looks very sharp and I could see myself playing with this the most.
I am literally shaking at the thought of seeing my 7 year old sons face if I could bring all of these home. The Lenovo Star Wars Jedi Challenges would be at the top of our list. Why? simply because we made a pact together after watching the first star wars film that we would find a way to join the Academy together and bring honor to the Universe. This would allow us to complete our training. It is very Wow oh my goodness this prize is unbelievable.
The SPHERO STAR WARS R2-D2 APP-ENABLED DROID – because it’s the closest I’ll ever come to having an actual droid
The Littlebits star wars droid inventor kit. My son loves to build and keeps asking his dad to build a robot with him. This would bring so much happiness to his life. Thank you.
I have been collecting Star Wars toys since I was was a kid. My dad made me a Darth Vader costume in 1977 when I was 10. I would love to have the new UB TECH STORMTROOPER in my collection with all the other toys.
I like the SPHERO STAR WARS R2-D2 APP-ENABLED DROID
My favorite is the little bits droid (R2D2) inventor kit. Such a great way to tinker and expand the mind and open up posibilities.
Thank you for running the contest.
Star Wars BB-9E App-Enabled Droid has to be my favourite !
BB-8 was a a huge hit in my house hold, and I can just imagine my siblings racing the two droids around.
Lenovo jedi challenge! My son is having a star wars bday party and they are doing various jedi challenges…my son would love this!
I’d be the best Jedi. I’d love to win Lenovo Star Wars Jedi Challenge
My favourite is the Sphero Star Wars R2-D2 App Enabled Droid. As a kid, I always thought R2-D2 was cute, and it would be so cool to have a mini version that I can control from my phone! I’d love to have it follow my friends around as a joke when they visit me.

This looks like so much fun! My kids would absolutely love this for Xmas and I can’t help but want to play with it as well.
I would love the Sphero R2-D2 because my kids and I loved playing with the BB-8 and R2 would be the ultimate addition to our collection. Does that make us Jawas? Ooteenee!!!!
I would love the Sphero R2-D2 app enabled droid because he is my absolute favourite Star Wars character! Plus he’s so cute!
I love the Sphero Star Wars BB-8 App-Enabled Droid. It is like having my own BB-8 that can run around my house.
It has to be the storm trooper smart watch. It can take photos and hold over 1600 photos. I love the special effects and the size of the screen. Yes I know it is designed for the youth market but it would be a lot of fun and would go great with my R2D2 carry on luggage. 🙂
I would love be to with either prize. I remember seeing star wars a new hope in the theatre when I was 6 years old. Love these movies.
Oh man, it’s gotta be a tie between the Sphero droids! I love that they were able to replicate the full size props. That being said the speeder bike drone is also amazing!
My favourite is definitely Lenovo Star Wars: Jedi Challenges VR. I like Jedi the best and the new movie is released on my birthday, December 15. It would be so amazing to attend the screening having all the toys! oh yeah!
The Sphero Star war droid. Would be awesome to see the look on my 4 kids face seeing this outside. So awesome. We’re a family that has watch Star Wars 20 times:)
The UB Tech Stormtrooper looks amazing – even if it is a little short for a Stormtrooper! Would love to win that!
Hello Best Buy People,
First off, thank you for hosting this contest! Second, I can not tell you how excited I would be to win an R2D2 app enabled droid! I have always loved my droids more than any Jedi or Sith. When I was a kid I had a piggy bank that the r2d2 would move when you put money on it and it was the most high tech thing I owned! To have this version would like reliving a modern day high version of my childhood.
The Lenovo Star Wars Jedi Challenge is my fave! It would be amazing to feel like I was training as a real Jedi! This is my childhood dream.
If I had to pick only 1 to be my favourite, I think it would be the Sphero Star Wars BB-9E App-Enabled Droid. It looks like it would be so much fun to play with. And the BB-9 looks so cool.
It’s gotta be the Lenovo Star Wars Jedi Challenges…. Imagine, being able to hold a lightsaber and test your reflexes and skills. That would be pretty awesome. I wonder if there’s a competitive mode. This would be like living out those childhood dreams without the hurt of hitting someone with a paper towel cardboard roll! Now if on the R2D2 was a portable beer fridge that would take the cake.
My favourite Star Wars toy is the Sphero Star Wars R2-D2 App Enabled Droid. I love this toy because R2-D2 is my favourite character of all time in any series. I love the idea of my own R2-D2 that I can control with my phone 🙂
I would definitely say the Lenovo Star Wars Jedi challenge. I want would say this is the most desireable because who doesn’t want to train like a real Jedi! Virtual reality is as close as I feel I will ever get! Thanks!
The VR set with lightsaber is my favourite. I’ve always wanted to be Jedi. Please Best Buy, make me a Jedi.
I like the Littlebits Droid inventors kit. It is my favorite because I have been teaching my son about electronics and he enjoys building things. This toy seems to encompass both of those things.
my kids would have endless hours of fun with the Sphero Star Wars BB-8 App-Enabled Droid. I would, I mean my kids would, have a blast with this, hehe.
I would love the Sphero R2-D2. Because I already own the Sphero BB-8 and love playing with it around my office. The R2 unit would be a great addition! Plus, it’s FRICKING R2!!
I’d love to win the SPHERO STAR WARS BB-9E APP-ENABLED DROID because even droids have an evil twin. Plus he looks pretty badass!
I would love to have the littleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit. In a world that it’s so driven buy kids being stuck to screens it’s great to get them interested in using there hands with those screens to be creative, collaborative, and use problem solving. I would have a blast giving this to my daughter to play and learn with.
I would love to walk into the next Con with the BB8 RC following alongside me …
Sphero Star Wars BB-8 App-Enabled Droid (R001TFC) – because I want to be able to send it wheel-ing down the street chasing after the neighbour’s remote control car. I’d love to see their reaction
