R2D2 moves in with Moyles

Radio One DJ Chris Moyles took delivery of his half-scale multi-function entertainment unit over the weekend admitting he couldn’t quite remember making the two grand purchase online last year due to inebriation.

The DVD playing, iPod docking, stereo-sound delivering dustbin on wheels has had us hot under the collar since our first sighting back in early 2007 but seemed to be consigned to the scrap yard after Nikko went bust in the UK.

The killer application has to be its 270 degree twisting head which achieves the optimum beam angle for the 60 inch projection, done with a rather smart Millennium Falcon replica remote.

Now only available as a limited edition 2,500 run we reckon there are more purchases that could well have been made under the influence, so if you’ve had a major credit card query of late expect a new arrival soon. Whilst there’s no doubt the price is a stellar sum for the individual parts what price can you put on guests’ jaws hitting the deck when they meet yours?
