R2-D2 Chorus Line Requires Some Restraining Bolts

December 23rd, 2008 by Conner Flynn


Here’s a bunch of remote-controlled R2-D2s that dance together. Combine this with recent news that George Lucas has approved a Star Wars musical and my desire is to slap restraining bolts on each and every one of these dancing bots and sell ‘em to Jawas for scrap.

R2-D2 AstroWipe Droid Toilet Paper Cozy

December 22nd, 2008 by Conner Flynn

This plush R2-D2 is designed to dispense toilet paper. R2 really does come in handy for more then just hiding lightsabers and swimming in the Dagobah swamp. He’s squeezably soft and will keep your bum clean if you sit him on the back of the toilet as if he’s riding shotgun in your porcelain X-wing. $33.90

Steampunk C-3PO & R2-D2

Steampunk C-3PO & R2-D2

This pair of Steampunk droids may just be the one’s you are looking for. For once 3PO doesn’t look completely queer. I don’t have any other info on these, but I would guess they are actual modded figures.

Thanks Jared.

Lego R2-D2 USB Flash Drive

December 1st, 2008 by Conner Flynn

Our favorite droid gets a gadget makeover again. Big surprise. When is he ever going to get some respect? If he isn’t pulling aquarium duty, he’s showing up as cufflinks.

Well, now someone’s taken a Lego R2 and made him into a USB drive. Which is neat and all, but he still ain’t gettin no respect. Because when you plug the little guy into your usb port, he just looks like he got shot out of a cannon and got stuck in your laptop and should be flailing his legs. Such is the life of an overly merchandised droid. 4GB for $49.95.

R2-D2 & C-3PO Celebrate Christmas

November 24th, 2008 by Conner Flynn

R2-D2 and C3PO are all dressed up for Christmas. C3PO gets the Santa Claus costume and R2-D2 has antlers on his head. What could be better for a geek robot Christmas? Not much I say. You can get the display based on this image at Amazon.

Odd Star Wars Iron-On Decal

November 11th, 2008 by Conner Flynn

In the market for a cool Star Wars iron-on decal? How about one where C-3PO is wiping his golden wang all over the back of R2’s head? Is it just me or does it appear that R2 may actually be backing into it? Disgraceful.

Bidding begins at $0.01 with $2.99 shipping. How can you go wrong?

R2-D2 Aquarium Is Fishy

November 10th, 2008 by Conner Flynn

So, some Jawas got a hold of R2 and had their way with him once again. This time, they installed an aquarium in his body and really took all of his dignity. The domed head rotates with vocal commands and he beeps just like in the movies. But if Luke had this model with him in the Death Star, he would have had to stop and feed fish every so often. The radar eye houses the eyepiece to a built-in periscope that provides an intimate view of the tank.

Includes filter and overhead LED tank lights that switch between red, blue, and green and get this. It includes a two-sided waterproofed cardboard insert depicting scenes from the movie as a background. All for $129.95

Bot Fight: Data VS. R2-D2

October 21st, 2008 by Conner Flynn

Welcome to Bot Fight. Two bots enter, one bot leaves. Usually with broken parts and a rectal violation with a wrench.

Size advantage: Clearly Data

Special abilities:

Data-Can dress up as Sherlock Holmes. Do comedy with Joe Piscopo. Have sex with Tasha Yar. Own a cat. Is a daddy’s boy, searches out his creator Dr. Noonien Soong. Geordi LaForge’s butt-buddy.

R2-Can magically beep and just as magically have Star Wars humans understand him. Pals around with a Gay homosexual robot known as “Goldenrod”. Ejects lightsabers from his dome. Has bragging rights with a “third leg”. Backseat drives X-Wings. Somehow magically dodges room-fulls of stormtropper lasers.

Face Off: Lock both in a room and before you know it Data has himself a new pet. R2 has an android master who can understand his every flippin beep. They refuse to fight and instead laugh about C3PO, Q and the Borg. R2 feeds Data’s cat when he’s on the Bridge. During his Holmes holodeck excursions, Data introduces a Victorian suited R2 as his short friend from Brussels “Mr Arthur Desquared”. Geordi gets all emo and pissed off, soon devises a way to send R2 back to his own universe. At the last minute Q arrives and tells a sad Data that it was all a gift from him, to illustrate some BS sentiment. Data is sad but reflective. Cue end credits and preview next weeks steaming pile.
