Now you can own R2-D2.

This thing is pretty sweet if you have the cash to get one.

The R2-D2 is smaller than what is in the movies but it has a mp3 player, a CD player, a FM radio, a card reader, a DVD projector, an integrated webcam and it comes with a Lightsaber Skype phone.

I've put up pictures and a video on my blog.
Have Your Own R2-D2

I was reading about this earlier off a link I found at IGN. This thing looks awesome! I can't imagine how cool it would be to drive little R-2 around, stop him, put a movie in and watch it on my wall! (All while he beeps and talks of course).

Sadly I can't imagine myself ever paying that much for him. Although it might be worth it.

I think the price tag is fair, but I'd never pay for one.

What does a little R2-D2 go for these days?

I peaked around your blog and the Nikko site, but was unable to come across any figures.

$2500.00US

....Wow!

Note to self: Cancel shipment on 2nd R2-D2.
