R2-D2 Pepper Mill
Dustin: Have you ever sat in front of a steaming steak and muttered to yourself, "You know Francis, that steak needs some pepper and an R2-D2 pepper mill would be just the right tool to crush those peppercorns!"
Two Star Wars pepper mills made of ABS plastic and measuring 11cm (4.33") tall are on their way to the Japanese market on February 29, 2008. Both hold about 1 oz worth of peppercorns. To crush them, twist R2's dome and flakes of pepper obediently drop from its bottom. Two variants are on offer - a blue and white R2-D2 and a black and gold R2-Q5. |

Own A R2-D2 Mailbox
Dustin: Ok, so it might not be exactly a real full sized R2-D2 mailbox, but it's as close as you're gonna get without serving time in the big house. Our good friend Bonnie over at Lucas Online has posted instructions on how you can build a cool papercraft 3-D model of the mailbox. All you need to do is print out the handy PDF they've made available and build your own droid*! Click here for more details and to download the PDF you'll need.
*Oil bath not reccommended for paper droids. |
TAC R2-D2 Variation Found
Dustin: From Rebelscum.com:
"Rebelscum reader Joe Macudzinski writes in to alert variation hunters of a purple-hued blast effect he found of R2-D2 while searching for new figures. Although Joe found 4 like this, there's no word if this is an intentional change, or an error similar to the Holographic Obi-Wan Kenobi from last year." |
Me & R2
Dustin: I found the R2-D2 mailbox here in Cincinnati and figured I'd get some proof. |

Hasbro's Titanium Figure Line Up Cancelled
Dustin: At San Diego Comic Con last year Hasbro displayed the above Titanium R2-D2 as a future product. However it was recently disclosed at Toy Fair 2007 that the line has not performed very well and is being discontinued just short of the R2-D2 release. So if anyone has a good lead on how I can score the one in the photo above, please drop me a line ;-) |
