Oh my goodness, love you two! Just bought the BB Unit for my Son's birthday and it stopped working after we got back form the pool. My wife and I were crushed based on how much this puppy costs. Turns out the first fix worked! Thanks soo much!
Oh...I'm so glad we saved your BB 8.
Thank you guy!! I bought mine home today and when he wasn't working I freaked out but this was so helpful💕💕 I owe you guys big time for saving my bb😂💕
Shama Saleem I’m glad our video saved your BB 8 👍
I didn’t know you can make that! I wish I knew it sooner because I went for my first time dang it but yeah thx this video is so cool
Does this work for c and r droids
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! After a couple of years I thought our BB was bad and would need some kind of repair. the re-linking procedure did the job :)
Thank you. We just got back home from Disneyland and these instructions were very helpful for my 1st grader.
I ❤️ BB grape! It would be interesting to see how he reacts to another droid. Dale you have to get one when the Florida Galaxy’s Edge opens.
They do not react to other droids at all outside of the Disney Park. The needed signals to let them interact only exist there. They do random beeps, but thats it.
I wonder how many times your dog thought you got him a new toy! Lol
Thank you very much for your help. The video was a huge help. Now my 7 years old is happy with his BB unit and is ready to play again. Thank you (mom
Thank you for showing me how to set him up, I totally thought I needed batteries. I've had my BB121 for over a year and never used him except in the park and it was packed that day.
Thanks for the info me and my granddaughter we’re at Disneyland this last Saturday and we built this one and spent all that money and it stopped working the next day crazy we will do this thanks so much for the info
Thank you my niece and two nephews are going in a couple of weeks and they are going to build a BB unit. I'm so happy I found this so they don't get upset if this happens. Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to kid's toys malfunctioning. This comment is told from experience. LOL
Thank you the first tip was helpful and so my BB unit is working again.
Awesome video, I am staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and my sons BB-8 stopped working. This video saved me a trip back back to to droid depot. Thank you
Park Hopping I’m glad this video saved you lots of time from standing in line.
Very interesting and informative video. This video will definitely help people who have purchased one😀
Thanks for sharing!
Just built my BB unit with one of my daughters this past Thanksgiving at Hollywood Studios. Named it BB-TRKY since I built him on TG - ha! Great tip on the carpet! Didn’t know about the chips
Thank you very much! Very helpful for my daughter 👍🏼
Wonderful information. Maybe this video should come with each unit sold.
Thanks so much for this super helpful video - we got our droid at Galaxay’s edge in March, the week before Covid lock downs....we struggled with it (probably due to stress) and never really got it up and going. One year later, I pulled them out, found your video, and finally understand how it works.
Neat video! I'm planning to get an R2 droid in Galaxy's Edge here in Hollywood Studios!
Great video! I really like watching BBGrape in action. Also, I love the new sounds it makes with the personality chip. Thanks for sharing. :)
Many thanks for this upload!!🙏🏼.
Nice and informative. For the controller I have seen that the redundant buttons do different things in the R units. Top left and right turn the dome and the bottom turns the body. One of the noise buttons does the accessory sound effects on the R unit for the jets and blasters.
Awesome vlog Jenna, and Dale!! It doesn't seem as hard as I thought, troubleshooting the droid. Glad to see BB Grape again. Chloe playing with the squeaky toy was cute!! Now, you need a light saber! I mean, scrap metal.... 😉
How cute are the little mickey heads you have on your nails! 😍 Hahaha, when Chloe was playing with her squeaker toy, my fur baby Daisy jumped out of her bed and was looking for the squeaker toy.
This is so good! I was about to return mine because it wasnt turning on xD
I'm so glad we were able to help get yours going again!!
Keeps rocking back and forth!!
That was really awesome! I’m definitely saving this for when I get a droid when I go to Galaxy’s Edge in WDW. Thank you for sharing these very helpful tips!
Love the video. My son watched this vlog with me and he wants one for his birthday. He will be 31 in October and your never too old for Disney things. Thanks so much for sharing Dale and Jenna.
Thorough review & how to! By the way, BB-Grape is a great name 💜💜💜
BB-GRAPE! I was watching when you built it...
BB Grape is just so cool!! He is a talker with that personality chip😂
Thank you so much we thought the batterys already died you saved us a lot of trouble
Glad this helped!!
So that's how those things move around. Very impressive.
Love the name BB-Grape!
Hello. It is now December 2021 and I am just watching this. I built an R series droid at Galaxy's Edge 3 months ago and I absolutely love it! I would like to build another, but I am undecided whether to build a BB or R series droid. I didn't get the backpack as I didn't know about them until I got home,but I can't wait to go back. I will bring my droid with me for sure!. P.S. please bring your droid to HS with you the next time you are there. It would be fun to see him respond. When I was there,my droid was interacting with other droids on the Disney bus!
Thank you I thought my droid stop working too! This helped a lot
I think this is very helpful! While the experience you had building him was very fun to watch, and the cast members made it very exciting, they weren't very forthcoming with the nuts and bolt of operation, were they?!?!
I love living vicariously through you😊! Welcome BB 🍇! ResortTV1 is a great family❣️
Very helpful! Thanks! My partner made the BB droid and I made the light saber; looks like she makes a light saber and I want my own BB-grape!
Thanks so much! Bought one and needed to learn how to operate it.😎
BBGrape! How cute! And such a creative name!!! 💜
Thank you. My daughter was sick for several months before she passed so it sad idle. We couldn't figure out how to get it going. Now if we can just get it open again. For some reason I cannot manage it. We tried turning it on and off but put it back together first. I guess we should have left it open until we got it going! Any idea how to replace batteries?
A very interesting droid. I love the sounds it makes. It would be interesting to see how it reacts with other droids. Is cloie scared of it? Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
BBGrape is so cute! Loved watching you make it!
Can't wait to show my grandson your video.
I know disney merch can be expensive but it is so worth the price.
we got one ,wasn't working until i watched ur video! , can't thank you enough!! , only one question plz , is there anyway he can make random noises by himself? do i have t press a button everytime i want him t make a sound? i was expecting more than just using the remote i don't know why 😄
only inside of GE or if you get a bluetooth beacon. look on YT for that.
sooooo Cool Thanks for Video
Thankyou so much! This was so helpful!
Second. I really want one of those😃😃
still so neat to se a working droid!
Great video. But how do you change the batteries?
Thanks for helping me!
Glad it helped!!!
the red button for any droid that isn't a bb unit, will turn just the head and the side arrows on the bottom would turn the body. But since the bb unit follows the head this does not apply to them and does the same thing.
BEAUTIFUL !
So helpful! Thank you!
Nice Droid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenna as I said on Instagram ..I got a BB-8 at Target a few years ago.Yours is very similar to mine but yours is a tad larger then mine
Very cool and interesting!
Extremely helpful! Idk why Disney doesn’t give those instructions with the purchase.
i have one exactly like it
Thank you so much! Life saver!
Glad this helped!!!
Very nice BB unit, what type of power source, battery , charger? I watched you build it at the time.
Im curious about this too. No one has really said. Im sure remote is batteries but
The droid itself runs on 6 aa batteries
The BB unit uses 6 AAs and the R2 units use 8 AAs. The remote takes a 9V I believe
I just got one. I was happy to see the controls... I was worried my buttons under the red weren’t working properly/not moving him properly. I originally wanted purple, but ended up with the original color (orange). Now I kind of wish I would’ve gotten purple. 😂 They are so hard to open. I had mine turned off at the depot. Is it better to keep him turned off when not using? It’s such a pain to open/close him. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! This is super helpful. ;)
Nice video! Just made my BB unit today. I was wondering how the “automatic 5-minutes turn off” works. I’m at the hotel now, haven’t used the droid for hours, but I just turned on the control to test if the bluetooth was still enabled, pressed the sound button on the remote control and the droid made a sound. Should I need to open the droid and turn off the switch manually for disabling it? Does it keeps spending battery if turned on? What’s the difference between both? Thanks!
(1)How long has the BB8 battery lasted?
(2) I would also like to see a video of the battery replacement.
(3) Is there a way to activate the BB8 after it goes to sleep mode after 5 minutes without opening the torso?
Thanks, very helpfull
Mine is turning off after just a few minutes even if I'm playing with it, sometimes it just turns of after a minute. I even changed the batteries
I built an R2 series unit at Disneyland 18 Sept 2019. I found it works well on hard surfaces but does not like carpet, at least longer pile type, so it is the opposite of the BB type. As another writer said, the remote is more adapted to the R2 series in that the blue buttons control forward / reverse and turning, the red rectangle spins the head, the lower red button the sound and the up red button the options features like the rockets. I missed the personality chips while there an hope they may be available on line soon. I expect to see someone reverse engineer them and maybe create other options depending on the complexity of the sound circuits. I am also waiting to see if a smartphone bluetooth interface app becomes available.
George Mells hey I bought the already made one for my son at Disneyland and I cannot get it to turn on at all. I changed the batteries and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Anyway you could give me some tips? I got r2 d2
@@madair219 I wish I had a better recommendation but it might be the pairing with the remote. The droid doesn't do much when first turned on. This is a link to the instruction sheet that is more informative than the ones on the bottom of the build it yourself box.
secure.cdn1.wdpromedia.com/dam/disneyland/shops/disneyland/droid-depot/R2-D2-Instruction-Sheet-060419.pdf
Maybe it will help if the problem is the pairing.
Do you get any kind of instruction manual with the droid? Or did you have to figure all of this out on your own? Thanks for the video, very informative!
You can ask for an instructional sheet, from what I've seen reported. But doesn't come with your purchase, which is odd...
Great video it was very informative but how much do they cost? cause I've never been!
He's a handsome little fella.
🌟😎🌟
Does it work without a personality chip??
The red button is mainly for the R units to turn there heads and the blue ones are for turning the body
How do you change the batteries? We also have a bb-8
Great color choice!
My BB has a problem with the case opening up while controlling it, any advice for this?
what was chloes reaction to bb grape
I had my droid shipped back since my carry on wasn’t big enough. Anyways I can get my droid to turn on and make noises with the sound button but if I touch any movement button including the ones to move the head it instantly goes to sleep. Any ideas?
Do they talk on their own? I’ve seen videos where they just start bleeping without any remote control. Also so you have to turn him on ever time you want to use him?
I’m not the creator but, you have to press a button. Sometimes if you don’t use him for like 2-3 minutes he’ll spin his head or talk to you before shutting off
You going to do another video of BB Grape and Chloe together? Lol.
Very neat! Does this happen to be same interactive bb-8 droid sold online at shopdisney.com? Just curious because trying to sell a bb8 hero droid made by spin master and everyone says its 99 bucks on disney site. The spin master version ad video is still even listed on Disney site saying available now although discontinued. Not trying to start any crazy backlash, I'm just curious if i'm listing my item at correct rate. I love Star Wars and am extremely excited to visit Galaxys Edge.
I got a bb unit from galaxy's edge, but it makes weird noises while moving and the head wobbles slot which affect its direction. Any tips please.
Right before you turn on the remote when you have to hold the button until it flashes my light never flashes so is there a way to fix this?
I brought mine home today and the thing isn’t working it may of been cause I removed the batteries and tried to give it new ones, but once I put them back it still wouldn’t work
My droid is so easy to control now
You know the BB unit is kinda of cool, but the whole body must get "scuff" marks like crazy(having to gut the Droid to turn the switch on and off is crazy). I think the way to go is the R2 units
I got the R unit and the big rectangular red button is to rotate their heads while the left/right blue buttons are to traverse the droid left and right. For some reason though only the bottom noise button works on my droid he doesnt speak when I press the top one. Anyone know why?
"That is what turns him on" lol 😆
Crazy that you have to take it apart to switch it back on. We made one just like it with my 5 yo daughter and she's bummed that she can't reboot it herself.
Yeah. We were really bummed about that too. Kind of poor design.
I thought this was a defect. So how long before it requires you to switch to off and back on? I didn’t notice your droid had the silver/grey wires on the black piece. Did you get those with your droid? My daughter forgot to install them. Was wondering if it was just for looks or to help balance the droid.
good job!
Thank YOU sooooo much!! Your video helped!! I thought the batteries died soooooo quickly.
Mine won’t open what should I do??
Just got it yesterday
Question where do you replace the batteries?
So is there a way to not keep opening the case and turning on and off switch just to wake him up from sleep mode. Don't you think that's a drag? But when we were at the park it didn't have that problem. It will wake up just by controlling the remote. Even being in sleep mode. What do you guys think? I mean that's a big drag to keep opening the case just to wake him up. I'm sure there's a way to wake him up without doing all that work. That's an ugly design if thats the casw
If anyone's having trouble with their bb8 bot, here's how to set it up when you first get it. (there were no instructions in our box, or on the box like i've seen elsewhere online) You need to PAIR the remote to the bot before it'll work. Find the power switch on the bot and hit the search button as they show in this video. The important step they leave out is you have to hold those two buttons they show WHEN YOU TURN IT ON. You can't turn it on and hold those two buttons down, you do it while its off.. Then turn it on while you're already pressing them. Did this and it finally paired after i was about to return the silly thing.
Hi what if that still doesn’t work but the remote is flashing and the droid makes noise so I don’t think it’s dead but they aren’t pairing
I should’ve got two-
When I was at the park he wouldn’t stop moving in the bag and that’s because there others around him and now he won’t make noise- never mind he’s talking again
Just so you know I heard your supposed to turn him off before you put the personality chip in after you shut him off because if you don’t the chip will probably fry 👍
ohh I think I’m first to comment!! woohoo !!
that was awesome and be very helpful to anyone who owns ones of these beautiful droids!!
Were happy with the purchase ?
