Japanese manufacturer Heart has started preorders for a wastebasket that's designed to look like the legendary R2D2 robot of Star Wars fame. Although the Heart Art Collection version of Artoo can't roll like the movie version or override computer systems, it can flip its dome to accept paper waste and other detritus. To pop R2-D2's top, step on the foot-lever at the base of the robot... just like any conventional wastebasket with foot powered mechanism. Trash-Can-R2-D2 measures 60cm or 23.62" tall which is about a foot shorter than the actual R2-D2 used in the Star Wars movies.
Pricing is set at Y14,800 or US$215 from NCS. Please note that the weight and size of this item will incur dimensional shipping freight from overseas and NCS' retail price reflects the import costs from Japan. View a larger photo for the wastebasket on the main NCSX website.
