After checking out the Star Wars Exhibit at OMSI here in Portland, curiosity arose as to where a guy could get his own Star Wars items, and our searches brought us at least one reasonably priced droid.

Hammacher Schlemmer has a voice activated R2-D2 droid replica that you can get for about $120 that follows 40 different voice commands and has an infrared sensor to detect objects and movement.

The movement detection can sound an alarm when in sentry mode, and the R2-D2 will make noises and mimic sounds from the original droid and from Star Wars movies.

Not to disappoint after the build up, but this R2-D2 replica runs on 4 AA batteries and only stands 15″ high, so it’s size is nowhere near the original, but it’s looks are very similar and it carries the same attitude of the original R2-D2.
