The collection includes eggy versions of Yoda, Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, Darth Maul, C-3P0, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. I think that the Darth Maul and R2-D2 eggs are great, though Jabba’s face is pretty classic.

It must have been quite difficult to paint these eggs with so many details. If you like them, you can probably reproduce these at home, assuming you have a steady hand – and can wait until next Easter, that is.

The two figurines were released to cash in on commemorate the 35th anniversary of the first Star Wars film, A New Hope. The C3-PO figurine is hollow and only measures 1.26″ x 3.94″ x 1.89″, but it is made of pure gold. Artoo’s figurine on the other hand is made of 0.999 sterling silver, but obviously it’s even smaller than the one of C-3PO, measuring only 1.41″x2.36″x1.54″. I think I like Threepio better in his dirty brass golden armor.

I guess they’re reserving the pure carbonite Han Solo figurine for the 100th anniversary. The figurines are available for order from a Japanese company called Imperial Enterprises Inc.

The C3-PO figurine will cost you ¥500,000 (~$6,000 USD) while the R2-D2 figurine is being sold for ¥150,000 (approx. $1,800). If you still have extra cash, IEI is also selling an oversized 2.2lb. Star Wars coin that’s also made of sterling silver. Hit the link below for more details.

Naturally, the most compelling poster is of Darth Vader, comprised of the Death Star and what looks the entire Imperial fleet, though the one of the stormtroopers made of stormtroopers is pretty cool as well.

The one of Boba Fett reminds me of a question that I think of every time I watch the Star Wars Saga again. Would George Lucas have fed Boba Fett to the Sarlacc if he had known the popularity of the ultimate bounty hunter ahead of time? Yeah, it turns out Fett actually escaped in Dark Empire, but that was clearly an afterthought. If you still like to imagine that Fett was chewed to pieces by the Sarlacc, this poster should serve as a reminder.

But I digress. These awesome posters were created by the agency Bleublancrouge, and if you’d like to see the exhibit behind these posters, it starts April 19th in Montreal and on October 27th in Edmonton. Let’s hope they take this show on the road.

These awesomely geeky birdhouses are the creative product of one Ben Mayer, and his handmade birdhouse shop, NirdHaus. The R2-D2 birdhouse has been painted to look just like the little maintenance droid, and even has a functioning LED “optical unit” built into its facade. And if R2 isn’t enough for you, he’s accompanied by C-3PO – who just happens to be familiar with over 6 million species of birds.

R2-D2 sells for $60 (USD), while C-3PO is going for $35 – since he doesn’t have any LED or wiring to worry about.

If I actually thought I’d get anything other than nasty city pigeons landing in these things, I’d be the all over buying one. I suppose they’d look good sitting on a shelf inside too – then they won’t get all crapped up with bird droppings and bits of straw. If you want to beat me to the punch, you’d better head on over to Etsy and grab yours now.

R2 in fancy dress with a pipe? Someone please make a new Sherlock Holmes with the little droid as Holmes and C-3PO as Watson. I would pay good money to see that and it would beat the whole Data/Geordi Holmes thing from Star Trek.

Jabba certainly still looks evil, but now he’s an evil gentleman from the past. He could easily be Holmes’ arch-enemy Moriarty. Chewbacca is also available, but he just looks strange to me.

You can buy all of these portraits over on KULT, with prices starting at $125(USD). For that price, you get an unframed 9″ x 13″ Limited Edition hand numbered giclée print signed by the artist with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Robot builder Florida Robot built all but one of these robots, which include C-3PO, R2-D2, B9 from Lost in Space, Bender and a couple of others. Robby the Robot was already built by Fred Barton, but he modified it in order to “motorize and computerize some of his systems.” Apparently in need of some extra space in his house, these robot’s creator has put the entire robo-menagerie up for sale on eBay.

As you can see in the video above, both Robby and B9 light up in sync with audio tracks from a classic episode of Lost in Space, called “War of the Robots.” C-3PO, on the other hand, seems a bit more dignified. He’s got an awesome shiny vacu-metallized finish, and his eyes LED light up when someone approaches. Despite the fact that he’s supposed to be fluent in over 6 million languages, this 3PO isn’t talking, though.

And if that’s not the only droid you’re looking for, R2 is up for sale too.

He’s completely motorized, and can be driven remotely. His dome turns, his lights work, and he even makes all sorts of appropriately droidly sounds.

Now Bender, on the other hand. He seems too busy smoking and drinking to utter a word or even move. Still, he looks pretty cool just lazing around – though you might want to keep an eye on your valuables.

Last but not least in this awesome robo-collection are these boxy ‘bots who are inspired by an image on a 1958 issue of Fantastic Universe magazine, featuring a pair of robots sitting on a bench, waiting for the bus to come.

They’re also mechanical, and their heads move back and forth and eyes blink when a motion sensor detects someone approaching. They’re also completely charming.

Wow. I am so not adding that song to iTunes. That’s what you get when you let robots sing, I suppose. That and Mr. Roboto. I think all robot videos should actually be set to ELO’s Mr. Blue Sky.

But I digress. If you’re ready to adopt this lovingly-built family of robots (or you’re readying your own robot theme park), head on over to eBay and check out the auction now. The seller says that local pickup is available in Clearwater, Florida, and I can’t imagine how you’d ship these.

I actually want to call this little droid R2-MP4, since I think that would be a more appropriate name. The musical R2 unit even comes with earbuds which look like C-3PO’s head. Hopefully, when you stick them in your ears, he won’t go blathering on about how he he’s fluent in over six-million forms of communication, and just let you listen peacefully to your playlist.

Now, this R2-D2 media player isn’t exactly high-end. It’s only got 2GB of storage – or about 500 songs, and despite the screenshot above, I’m not convinced it can play video or view photos. That sure looks like an screen grab from an old iPod with some Star Wars images tossed in. But I could be wrong. Heck, maybe it can project holograms and hack into the Death Star’s security system for all we know.

Anyhow, if you’re buying this, you’re probably not getting it for its tech specs, and just because you have to own every Star Wars gadget and gizmo. R2-MP4 sells for $44.99 (USD). If you want one, you’ll have to go to your local Toys R Us and poke around, as they appear to be sold out online right now.

The bundle includes an Xbox 360 with a 320GB hard drive, the Kinect sensor and the motion-controlled Star Wars game. It also has the Kinect Adventures game, that’s usually bundled with Kinect. It will be released this holiday season and will cost $450 (USD), which is equivalent to the price of the components purchased separately.

The console is covered in R2-D2′s paint job, so it’s quite fetching. It will feature custom sounds that mimic the droid, while the controller takes on a golden hue of C-3Po. The Kinect sensor is white, to match the console. The game looks to be geared towards kids, who’ll probably go bonkers for it.

While I wouldn’t pick up the console just for the game, I’d definitely buy this limited edition, as my own Xbox 360 dates from November 16, 2005, the day the Xbox 360 was launched. It’s available for pre-order over at Amazon now.

But Flickr contributor bkrista77 clearly knows her way around the dessert kitchen, with this epic, albeit abstract mashup of R2-D2 and C-3PO. I think she should have called it the R2-PO cake. Or maybe C-3-D2. I can’t decide. They both roll off the tongue so nicely.

For some reason it makes me imagine what would have happened if R2 and 3PO were the ones who got stuck in the trash compactor in Episode IV.

The mosaic is nice and clean. It features C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca. These characters do seem to gel together in the movies and they do the same in this mosaic. There are more characters hidden away. I think I see a Luke Skywalker or Wedge Antilles peeking out as well.

Needless to say that I’d like to have one of these in my house, but I doubt that my wife or the new occupants of our duplex would approve.

We’re not sure if George Lucas himself has sanctioned these designs, so you’d better order one quick if you want your girlfriend to wear one for you next Summer when she can actually wear it without freezing her ass off. Of course you’re double-lucky if you live in Australia, since it’s Summer there and the guys who make this thing are located there, so you’ll save on shipping.

The Threepio Lycra swimsuit offers UPF 50+ sun protection, which sounds reasonable enough to me, but I’m not sure if it would protect you from Tatooine’s twin suns. But if you live here on Earth, it should be plenty. You can order the Threepio swimsuit over at BlackMilk for $85 (USD).

You see, it turns out that C-3PO knows how to rap – if you can call it that. R2 backs him up with some beeps and blips too.

Looks like this ridiculous clip was from a 1987 promo for Disney’s Star Tours, starring timeless actors Gil Gerard and Ernie Reyes, Jr. For some reason it reminds me of that time the Mr. T rapped about his mother.

The backpack is modeled after the one Chewy wore when 3PO was ripped limb from robotic limb in the Empire Strikes Back. The backpack measures 22″ H x 13″ W x 8″ D and has the golden droid crammed inside with his limbs torn off.

A zippered pouch on C-3PO measures 11″ x 8″ x 2.5″ and can hold things like your action figures or an iPad. The coolest part is that the limbs can be attached to the droid body with Velcro-style fasteners to build C-3PO and when assembled he is 40″ H x 17″ W x 8″ D. You can order yours for $59.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek.

It’s actually called the Golden Robot USB Flash Drive, and stores a whopping 4GB (which happens to be about the same amount of memory the real C-3PO has in his head from what I’ve heard). To use the drive, you pop off the head, and plug it into your computer. Everything about this is funny, even the way it looks while it’s plugged in.

The Golden Robot USB Flash Drive is available from Gadget4All for $25 (USD). Waste of money, or well worth it? You decide!

The C-3PO Mimobot is 2.5″ tall (2.49999″ head + 0.00001″ body) by 1″ wide. Like other Mimobots, this one also comes with the mimoByte Sound Software, so you’ll hear some of C-3PO’s classic lines whenever you remove or insert the flash disk. It’s available at mimoco’s online store; price starts at $30 USD for the 1Gb model.

I can’t believe there’s no Conehead Mimobot.

These huge Star Wars PEZ dispensers measure in at 12-inches tall, and dispense not single candies, but entire reams of 12 candies at a time from under their oversize flip-top heads. Did I happen to mention that they light up and play the theme music from the Star Wars movies? C’mon – what’s not to like?

And if you’re not in touch with your Sith side, they’re also available in C-3PO, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and Yoda versions for those who like to live on the light side of life.

Each one includes a dozen 12-packs of candy, so you can get working on that sweet tooth right away. You can get your grubby little mitts on the entire series over at the BulkCandyStore for around $18 to $20 a piece.
