Amazon currently offers the littleBits Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit for $54 shipped. Typically selling for $100, that saves you over $46, beats our previous mention by $21, and marks a new Amazon all-time low. The littleBits Droid Inventor Kit allows you to head to a galaxy far, far away to hone your programming skills. It includes over 22 different missions to teach you everything from the fundamentals to more in-depth coding know-how. Rated 4.2/5 stars from over 760 customers, and you can learn more in our hands-on review where we found it to be a great introduction to coding that “just about any Star Wars fan would love.”
Want to dive into an iOS-enabled coding experience but in a more affordable package? Sphero Mini enters with a $40 price tag and packs much of the same app-control and other programming functionality as the Droid Inventor Kit, but in a spheral shell. You will unfortunately give up the ability to assemble your own Astromech droid, but will save quite a bit of cash along the way. Learn more in our review.
