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.
