With the holidays around the corner we'll all be thinking about toys at some point in the next few days. Today we are fast forwarding to five by looking at the inner workings of a couple of toys.

With "Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens" coming out soon, we had to take a look at just how BB-8 works. He is a hot toy this holiday season, and some of us will have a little BB-8 rolling around our houses so we might as well see how it works.
