hey guys we have supersorrell thank you very much
this is the hyperdrive bb8 unit all the way from galaxy's edge so disney store uh
got a load of galaxy's edge merchandising not the longest you guys remember i was shouting screaming
about the time i did a whole video and stuff and i did pick up the 99 pound ridiculously expensive
bb-8 unit i couldn't resist grabbing him um i do love bb-8 i do love my droids so i had to grab one
i'm going to be building my own droid when i go to galaxy's edge of florida
but for now i thought i'd grab one of these little units and have a play with him so i
believe it is going to be more or less the same uh or very similar to the ones that are in the park
which is pretty cool it's a nice little replica of the droid we're going to be getting
so that's just a warning leaflet
here we are the bb-8 hyperdrive unit
okie dokie the hyperdrive bb-8 oh he does a lot of things okay so i put all the batteries in
um okay i'm not gonna lie i did slightly get him out earlier so that i could put the batteries in
ready for this review guys so i have already assembled him but basically when you get him
uh all you need to do is pull him apart like that you just pull and it reveals the mechanic
unit inside you can put the six batteries it takes six double haze in this thing
there we go it takes six double a's in that and the controller takes three triple a's
and there's his head and it is the same as the sphero one we had a while back
so we'll find a little sweet spot there we go and then your bb-8 unit is assembled
okay put my controller to one side earlier so here's the controller i've put the batteries in it
so the bb-8 unit looks pretty cool actually i'm really enjoying it really can look at this
to turn it on you've got to shake him
that seems a bit weird
so you've got to shake him to wake him up then put him down
and put the head on when he's acting for five minutes he'll just turn himself off but you can
hold him upside down for two seconds to turn him off as well when light appears move joystick left
as shown to enter hyper drive mode so i guess that's gonna be when he's gonna fly really fast
and when stationary the bb8 unit should respond to noise okay
interesting instructions back in the box for now
okay let's try and turn this bad boy on so wake up bba
well we've definitely done now because bb-8 is making noise aren't you bb hello say hello baby
you're gonna start you're gonna go silent on me now you little bugger
so whoa okay there he goes wait hello baby so
i can move his head around i believe with that
i can move your head forwards it's very mechanically
that's very cool though and of course we shoot him into overdrive mode
i believe he's gonna be on the floor for that to work though
i'm loving the colors of this droid it's white black and red which is a very cool
color combination sorry i was touching his head he didn't like that so yes let's go ahead and
go down to the desk cam and we'll have a look in the hallway and play around with him so you guys
can see him up close and personal so let's do this all right baby let's see what you can do
wow
oh
bb-8 where you gone
there you are whoa okay what happens if we shove you into the hype drive mode
you just go really fast
ah okay
see if i hold that button about right so if i hold one of the top buttons in and push forwards
his head will remain on top so it makes it easier to navigate
he's a cute little droid though
and of course he's gonna need a name guys
so i'm gonna need you guys to help me name this new awesome droid so if you can help us
out think of any form of name for our new little bb8 unit here he's gonna be the new channel mascot
he's going to be the new channel mascot so if you guys can think of an awesome name for me
i want you guys want you guys as the uh as the community to name him
and i'll put some uh i'll basically wait for some people to
put some comments in and i'll choose the best ones and i'll put it to a public vote
so if you want to submit a name guys right now all you need to do is submit your name
decision in the comments down below i'll pick out
the top four of my favorites from those names and we'll put it to a public vote
yes guys it's a very cool droid i think it's a lot of fun
and i can see myself having tons of fun with super junior with this little droid
get back on camera
no it's not happening anymore some reason this seems to have tired out
i bet the batteries are almost dead you know already i bet this thing eats batteries
because he's not responding at all oh there we go
i think i was out of range i'm only sat across the room
there he is
all right guys let's go back to the main camera finish off this video
so guys just let you know hyperdrive bb-8 has been out before this isn't his first
uh rodeo should we say hyperdrive bb-8 did come out when the force awakens came out
and it was an argos exclusive here in the uk i did actually have one of these a long time ago and i
think the review is probably still on the channel it's probably one of the earliest reviews i did
um after the remote after the um talking bb8 one that i did you know the interactive one
um i did this one it was from argos and i wasn't a big fan of it um since then obviously
the technology's coming a little bit better the head is definitely more magnetic than i
remember this time around the head on the older used to fly off all the time so they definitely
learned from sphero and made a better model so this is a great addition to any collection it is
99.99 it is on the expensive side they may drop in price at disney but i doubt it it's galaxy
merchandise i don't think it will lose its value very easily but still it's a lot of fun
if you can if you something that you want to pick up i would recommend it i like it
it is a lot of fun and i can't wait to name him for the channel i love his colors as well
and i can't wait to go to uh florida and build an art unit i'm going to build an r4
i'm going to build an high unit and um i can't wait to show you guys what i end up building
and i don't know what color scheme to go with next time
well yes guys thank you very much for watching as always i'm your host supersorrell and i'll see you
in the next video and until then get naming the droid in the comments the best one will win
thank you very much watching and i'll see you next
video may the force be with you say goodbye bb-8 you say goodbye
thank you bye
you
