R2-D2 is as cold as Hoth

R2-D2 ice bucketHan Solo carbonite ice cube trayI love Star Wars, and R2-D2 is my favorite droid. Does anybody not love little R2? Anyway, you can get just about anything in the shape of R2-D2 these days, but this is a new one. It's a talking R2-D2 ice bucket! But that's not the best part! The thing I love most about this gadget is the ice cube tray that comes with it. You can make your very own "Han Solo in carbonite" ice cubes! How awesome is that?! I bet you could even use that tray to make carbonite-shaped chocolate bars. I might get this just for that tray. Seriously. (seen at GeekDad)

Oh ‘way cool! I’ve seen diamond ice cubes and cute little pet ice cubes but not this!

Personally, I’d love little Yoda with a light-sabre ice cubes. :)

Those are very very cool, though some how I think I would have a difficult time getting them past the wife-to-be

Hmmm. That is just what I would like to drink. A melted “Han Solo”.

What I want to know is will it keep my beer cold.

I love the ice bucket! R2 D2 was always my favorite. I would have to hide it from my son, I’m sure he would want to take it in the bath.

[...] a post called “R2-D2 is as cold as Hoth“, we learn about an R2-D2 ice bucket with ice trays that make “Han Solo in carbonite” ice [...]

I’d love to have someone make a “tailgate sized” version of this with RC controls. Talk about being the talk of your tailgate! …or anime convention! Either way, it would be a good time.

This looks pretty cool. I will have to add it to my wish list. Have you seen the R2-D2 DVD Projector yet? It is a pretty high tech system made especially for the Star Wars nerds. If you are interested I blogged about it recently.
