If you thought the DeLorean making a comeback was cool, then you have to check this out.
Hammacher Schlemmer has come out with the R2-D2 home theater system. Yes, you read that right. The life size R2-D2 from Star Wars projecting your movies from his radar eye.
The little droid can shoot out movies, TV shows, images and video games straight onto a screen at a resolution of 1024 x 768 and can project up to 16 1/2 feet away.
In addition, one of his mechanical arms houses a DVD/CD player that can be blasted out from its two built-in speakers. And also this R2 has a docking station that can connect to most iPods, including video iPods.
But all great things come with a price, with this little droid running for $2,7995.99.
If you do pick up one of these, you can get really creative.
For instance, you can take him out into your garage, dressed in last year’s Luke Skywalker halloween costume to give him a little tune-up. Act like you’re repairing it when all of a sudden, BAM! Princess Lea pops up on your screen saying “help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”
Make sure you hit it or something every few seconds so you get the repeat effect.
