R2 Laundry Baskets

[Buzz Bumble]

ThinkGeek, via those crazy Japanese R2 fanatics, have come up with yet another R2-based object for your home ... this time it's for your dirty washing ...

Use the Force... to move X-Wings and do your laundry

Does your laundry have a nasty habit of piling up on your floor when you least expect it? Luckily these stylish Star Wars R2-D2 laundry baskets are imported from Japan and are here to assist. You get a set of two; One classic blue R2-D2 and one red R2-D1 (R2-M5 for you purists). These handy droids do all the work. Simply remove your laundry from the floor, and sort into light sides and dark sides (we prefer R2-D1 for the darks) by opening each droid's head and dropping in your clothing. When a droid is full, take the contents and dump it in your washing machine with some detergent. Now press "start". Voila! amazing mechanized laundry service at it's best. Now get to cleaning up that tauntaun dung in your garage.

Cool. I'd like them better if they were taller......closer to life-size. But then I guess they would be pretty big around and take up a lot of floor space.
