R2D2 relegated to laundry basket

Oh, how the mighty has fallen! The ever-faithful astromech droid R2D2 has saved galaxies in his prime, but back home on earth all he does is laze around your living room and watch DVDs while grooving on your carpet listening to his iPod. Lately, his leisure time has even been cut in as he acts as a postbox, standing idly all day long. Why not put that droid to work by turning him into a laundry basket? It would really be cool if you could actually control him remotely over to your laundry basket instead of opening up that tin can head of his. At 15.74″ tall, you can hold a pretty impressive amount of clothing before visiting the laundromat. The R2D2 Laundry Basket retails for $35 and will ship this August.
