orangerfulOMG...this is cool. I'm afraid to find out what the final cost will be for this beauty but I want it. It's a 1/2 scale R2-D2 that has an mp3 player, dvd player, ipod port, AND projector!!
Star Wars and gadget geeks, you may want to sit down before readingthis post. This 1/2 scale remote controlled R2D2 has a projectorstashed in his dome, capable of an 80-inch picture. And said controlleris shaped like the Millenium Falcon. By the falcon's command, the sassylittle droid can be driven forward and back and right down the trashcompactor. The remote'll also spin his cute little dome piece around,trigger 11 R2 sounds from the movies. And there's a built in DVD playerwith stereo speakers, an iPod dock connector, USB and memory cardslots, as well as AV inputs. The droid also has safety sensors to makesure you don't drive it down a trash compactor chute, or try to projectit at a wall that's too close.
R2 pumps an 800 by 600 resolution image, is as bright as 1000lumens with a 500:1 contrast ratio. Next up: C3PO surround sound systemthat does 21.1 channels of jibbajabba in millions of languages. –BrianLam
Looks like it's made in the UK. It's ridiculous, I mean, why would I need an R2 that's a video and music player? I'm just happy if he moves and beeps at me. But still, it's darn cool.
okay, NEVER MIND - the price quote is $2,500!!! some collector's are a bit nutty....
