the repainting of BB8 doesn’t spark my interests
Same here. $13 is a lot to ask for a BB-8 droid. I'll probably pick one up for completeness since I have all the others, but disappointing that they couldn't find a way to give him an extra like the others (santa hat, christmas toque, drink tray, etc). Feels like they cheaped out on this one.
If they had taken the time to give him a wreath/scarf around his neck or to use as a base or something else, would have been a lot more festive/fun than just a blah repaint.
