Slashdot noted this cool item about an upcoming R2D2 model. Actually, consider aibo and his ilk, I'm surprised it took this long for someone to come up with it. Probably something to do with Lucas licen$ing fees. I especially like the model holding the beer can.

Do any of our readers actually own an Aibo? Ellen, predictably, wants the cat one (we've linked to it once or twice, go into the CAT archives to find), but I think that one looks more than a little strange.
