Looks like the Takodana Encounter 3.75″ action figure set that I had mentioned before in three of my previous posts (here, here, and here) is now available for purchase on Walmart (tip of the hat to Jeditemplearchives.com)!
The Takondana Encounter figure set costs $16.90 and shipping is free.
Here’s the description of this set from Walmart:
This set includes the spherical BB-8, loyal Astromech droid of the Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, rolling alongside resilient scavenger Rey, a survivor toughened by a lifetime of dealing with the cutthroats of the harsh desert world of Jakku.
Together they join Finn (Jakku), a trained warrior desperate to escape his past but plunged into adventure as his confidence drives him down a heroic but dangerous path to an ancient castle on the planet Takodana, where they encounter the colorful Maz Kanata.
Maz reigns as the most knowledgeable smuggler around with centuries of experience and she has an uncanny knack for sensing the shifting tides of fortune in the galaxy.
The stronghold of Takodana must be protected and the power is in your hands. Collect and battle with these and other figures from Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

So when you turn on your Sphero BB-8 toy and select on the Watch With Me feature, it shows you which language you want to select before you can continue to the next part of the instructions for the Watch With Me feature.
The new languages are French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and Italian.
