Review – LEGO Star Wars The Last Jedi 75187 BB-8 Toy
Product overview
When The Force Awakens came onto our screens so did a new fan favorite. BB-8. And with that LEGO released their first droid LEGO set since R2D2. The model offers users a fresh new, certainly less predictable model to build. However, as with all large LEGO sets, BB-8’s 1106 pieces is a longer more challenging build than most. Probably not suitable for young children.
