Comments on ‘Your very own R2 unit multimedia machine’

:O 

I SO want one of these! Then I'd organise it to play a clip of "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are my only hope."

Man these Japanese sure know how to appeal to nerds.

At that price... 

...these are not the droids I'm looking for.

"What's that, R2...?" 

"No, I will not load up 'Debbie Does Dagobah' !!!"

Me Wants!!!!!!!!!!! 

I've been waiting for this since I saw a video of it last year.

Anyone have any ideas on how to convince the wife that I need one of these?

It would only be worth £2000 if it was big enough for you to imprison dwarfs in, just like the original. add some controls inside and bingo...
