This is the coolest thing I’ve seen as far as Star Wars gadgets goes. This little R2-D2 is 1/2 scale and is controlled via the Millenium Falcon. It’s dome rotates 270 degrees and his ‘eye’

holds a projector that can project up to an 80 inch screen on the wall or ceiling. A DVD player, iPod dock, stereo speaker system, memory card, USB input, AV input, 11 classic R2-D2 sound FX

and a whole lot more are stashed into this sweet ass piece of Nikko goodness. I’m totally getting myself one.

Edit: Expect this in March and to pay around $2500.
