Star Wars R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set spruces up the kitchen

r2d2_measuring_cup_setI know that R2-D2, the little astromech droid that could, and did in fact, play an extremely crucial role in the Rebel Alliance striking at the heart of the Galactic Empire before, is also a little bit domesticated. What do I mean by that? Well, it might be able to get out of tight spots against other droids that are far larger and more powerful, but it is also a decent hand in the kitchen. Case in point, this $19.99 Star Wars R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set.

The Star Wars R2-D2 Measuring Cup Set, as its name suggests, will feature an entire set of measuring cups that resemble parts of R2-D2. In fact, its whole body is built from a quartet of measuring cups: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup. You will not be able to find this anywhere else, as it is a ThinkGeek creation and exclusive, and has also been officially licensed by Lucasfilm to roll off the production lines. The detachable utility arms can be used as nested measuring spoons of 1/4, 1/2, 1 tsp, and 1/3 tbsp, while the dome itself is both 1/2 cup and 1 tbsp. It might be able to withstand a laser shot or two, but this R2-D2 is extremely averse to being placed in a microwave.

Today is one of the busiest travel days of the year in the U.S. as people are taking the skies and the roads in order to get to their Thanksgiving destination. If there’s one thing we know about a road trip, it’s the fact that nowadays, you need a way to keep your cellphone charged, especially if you’re streaming media from it to your vehicle. Unfortunately, not all vehicles have USB ports, but if you have a 12 volt outlet and a free cup holder, then you can just have R2-D2 be your USB-charging co-pilot.

    R2 D2 With Built In Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 Now Available For $800

    Over the past couple of years, we’ve highlighted the R2-D2 multi-console game system, which allows you to play both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 within the famous droid’s small frame.

    Star Wars R2-D2 Trashcan

    Are you thinking along the lines that the Star Wars franchise can never be milked completely dry? After all, what is that saying, a fool is born every minute? The space opera that wowed little kids and adults alike back in 1977 has had its fair share of brickbats in the past (anyone remember The Phantom Menace?), but one thing’s for sure – the Star Wars film collection is set to expand even further after Disney bought over Lucasfilm, and we do know that Star Wars Episode VII is on its way to the silver screen, and hopefully they will not botch this. Since you are a huge fan of all things Star Wars, how about enhancing your home with some Star Wars swag? I am referring to this $129.99 Star Wars R2-D2 Trashcan.

    Now most folks would baulk at the idea of forking out that kind of good money for, of all things, a trashcan. Hey, this is no ordinary trash can, since it is an officially licensed Lucasfilm collectible, and it comes in a size which most offices would be more than comfortable with. All you need to do is step on R2-D2′s foot, and his head will flip open to receive whatever trash that you are going to dispose of. Imported from Japan, it is an incredibly detailed replica of R2-D2, but too bad it is unable to emit any beeping sounds for that added bit of realism. This is definitely the trash can you’ve been looking for…

    There’s been a lot of talk lately about Star Wars: Episode 7 now that we know all of the original Star Wars actors were accidentally confirmed by George Lucas himself. With that bit of news, Star Wars fans have immediately become extremely excited about the next film and just what kind of role each of the previous film’s stars will have in the new film.

    Star Wars R2D2 Smart Safe

    You can say that the most accomplished astromech droid ever in terms of its lifespan would be R2D2, having made an appearance in just about all of the Star Wars shows, and he has also been the subject of many a Star Wars toy and merchandize. With the £29.99 Star Wars R2D2 Smart Safe from Firebox, you can now utter a modification of the classic line, “Store my stuff Artoo, you’re my only hope!”

    The Star Wars R2D2 Smart Safe works great as it is able to integrate itself seamlessly with your smartphone, be it of the Android or iOS persuasion. Whenever you enter the right code, the Star Wars R2D2 Smart Safe will open up. Of course, folks who are more than desperate would use a hammer, but that is another situation altogether. The Star Wars R2D2 Smart Safe relies on sensor based technology, meaning there is no need for a connection or a jack. This officially licensed product is powered by a trio of AAA batteries, so make sure you always have spares around the house!

    R2D2 Luggage Would Be Way Cooler If It Automatically Followed You Around [Star Wars]

    Since no one here on earth currently has the need for an astromech droid capable of light spaceship repairs, re-purposing R2D2 as an autonomous suitcase is a brilliant idea. So it’s kind of disappointing that this rolling artoo luggage has to be manually dragged along. More »
