I bought this for my kids. Really. I promise. But if you ask my wife, she will confirm that my mom deprived me of Star Wars toys during my childhood. And that is why I must build my Star Wars empire now. For the kids of course.
This R2 unit has audio and visual sensors that allows him to follow you around a room. It can play back Princess Leah’s “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi”message, minus the hologram. It can play hide and seek by using a motion sensor. It can dance to the cantina bar song or it can just keep you company by talking to you. It really is magical. And all that for $119.

Hola Melvin!
Boy, I check your blog to see how you’re doing, and lo and behold, you’ve got a droid! Definitely the best christmas present ever. Glad my kids are asleep or the noises from the video would have brought them running, no matter how quiet I try to keep my speakers.
How do you find all this cool gadgetry?!
Grace and strength to you and Lilia & the kids! We miss you in SoCal…
