I was all fired up to comment about how incredibly stupid this thing is, but you know what? It's pretty freaking cool. I mean sure, it's pointless and would get old after about 10 uses, but comeonnn (spoken with the Peter Griffen voice). It's a freakin remote controlled R2.
I personally prefer the webcam that you can control through the internet. How long till some hackers figure out how to control yours and roam through your house looking at your stuff? My question is, what's the market for this thing? I bet they sell 100 tops.

It'd probably be worth it, but only if it played 'the' original theme song as it roamed the house.

A quick search on eBay brings up over 30,000 Star Wars items, so yes, there certainly is an important market for R2! Now if only "he" would bring coffee to the bed, and wash dishes... I might have a chance to convince my wife... |

Star Wars Fan or Not
If you have money to burn, that's a cool toy!
I mean the guest come around, oh we'll just watch some home video's of the kids growing up. And R2D2 rolls out, actually just for a laugh, even though I don't smoke, it should have a cigarette lighter come out on R2's utility arm thingy he uses in the movie to zap things, and heck maybe even a built in smoke machine and then it'll be the ultimate party/DJ tool. lol Sorry getting carried away here, but yes it's cool Adam |

I'm a geek!
I'd love to have one that combines a projector and a video camera in one full-size (960 mm tall) unit.
Looks like I'd better start building.

This rules! But I'm spending my $3K on a Red Scarlet.
