Scoring Winger
That looks like a blend of something out of the marvel/transformers universes. A bit too dark for a bunch of minion clones.

That one was designed by Square Enix.
The Boba Fett is pretty cool.

I don't know if I like that all that much, its cool and all, but makes me think its more in line with a Dark Trooper.

Kylo's hilt is connected to the actual saber in the figure... perhaps they are updating it for the movie?

The BB8 is pretty nifty. I can understand the mechanics of the body moving around, but how does the head stay on top? Magnets?

Because you didn't buy one for her too? That's the only reason I can think of why anyone would be unhappy with that purchase.
Best Buy is selling the BB-8 in Canada for $189.99:

Unfortunately, it's currently sold out online.

It actually seems like something that would be fairly easy to rig up.
