I want one. So do you.

Apparently, this is no CGI or camera tricks, but an actual product that you can already buy commercially.

Impressive. Most impressive. And only 149.99 msrp will allow you to take it home with a complimentary matching set of power converters.

No. The power converters are sold separately at the tashi station.

The power converters are normally sold at Tashi Station, but you can get them as a special introductory bundle when you order now. Call in the next five minutes and receive your own Imperial maintenance droid at no cost to you! Operators are standing by. Call now.

I did think about posting this under a new posting category, but I feel this advertisement falls under the "I want it, and so do you," idea quite nicely. Ah, what a time to living in Star Wars merchandising. Minus the Leia slave binkinis of course. Those have gone the way of the old Jedi orders.

Okay that's actually really clever. And yes, of course, I want one. $40 on Amazon.

It costs 40 dollars on Think Geek as well. Support your local Internet Nerd store.

I know that Saul would probably want this one simply for the cover art. I love that cat!

Yay! Kitty!

Unlike the rest of this thread, here is something you may or may not want depending on your love of nerd kitch. With Star Wars Episode VII on the way, retailers are scrambling to cram as much Star Wars swag as they can on their shelves before the movie's launch. One such retailer in England thought they were putting in an order for collectible toys. When the order arrived and the boxes were opened, they discovered something else. The action figures they received were not for Episode VII--they were for Episode I. And to add insult to injury, they were garishly colored knockoffs of Episode I action figures. Yes, instead of Obi-wan, you get "Toby-one Kenobi." Instead of Anakin Skywalker, you get "Little Girl." I think my favorite guy out of this bunch is "What," because I'm sure that's what I thought when I saw Watto on the screen for the first time. The force far from these things, but they're amusing to look at.
