Star Wars R2-D2 Fridge

Paul Strauss over at the great Technabob blog was surfing around, looking for the R2-D2 USB Mini Fridge, when he stumbled upon this awesome Artoo refrigerator.

The product has only been made in 1000 copies and they were intended as a prize for an “Attack of the Clones” contest, held at 7-11 stores in Japan back in 2002.

    Very nice piece of refrigeration equipment. I think it would be very useful for Star wars lunatics :)

    My, this mini fridge is as expensive as a full-size home fridge! I’m guessing this USB fridge uses the “Peltier effect” for cooling. i.e. passing electricity through folded diodes causes one side to cool and the other to heat. Otherwise, hard to get a refrigerator to such a small size.

  3. R2D2 Mini Fridge - August 27, 2008

    [...] This exclusive R2D2 shaped fridge had only 1000 copies ever produced. It was meant as a prize for an “Attack of the Clones” contest, back in 2002. They had it sold in 7-11 stores in Japan. The mini fridge can be set for either cold or warm. So you get to either keep your beers cold, or soup warm. But it may not be a great idea to flip it warm and cold too often. Even R2D2 can malfunction and broken if abused. The only thing about this cool looking mini fridge is that it is selling for a little over a g’s or $1070 to be exact, which can choke pretty much most average guys. But if you’re a die hard star wars fan, you may want to get your hands on this limited edition. [ToyEast VIA  GeekAlerts] [...]
