Cool Stuff: R2-D2 Ice Bucket with Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Ice Cube Tray

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - the stuff we feature in Cool Stuff probably won’t get you laid. So when you bring the R2D2 Ice Bucket to your romantic picnic, don’t expect to get lucky. Although I’m pretty sure this is actually intended to be an accessory for that minibar you don’t have. The cosplaying girls at Comic Con might be impressed by the Han Solo in Carbonie Ice Molds (because, well, what geek wouldn’t?). Produced by Wesco, this Ice Buck also makes patented R2D2 noises which are sure to get you to first base. No more details have been revealed. You can preorder the item from Amazon.co.uk for about $33 American.

  • What
    I'll have a rum and coke with a Han Solo on the rocks please.

    Pity you can only get them shipped to the UK, they should know that there are sci-fi nerds with money ready to buy such things all over the world.
  • Rudin
    I just want the ice cube trays!
  • Jason
    Really, really cool item! They will not deliver to the States... Yet, hopefully soon tho. I was all set to get one. No lightsaber swizzle sticks tho?!?!?
  • Chimaera
    Oooh. Mmmm. I want you to rub that Han Solo (ice) all over me, lol. I can see it now.
  • Ali
    I want those ice cube trays. Seriously, they're amazing.
  • i hate to disagree with you peter, but star wars crap CAN get you laid. of course, you just need to meet these girls at star trek conventions of comic shops. THERE lies the real challenge. ;)

    I actually have an R2 cooler very similar to that, and as a matter of fact, it did one contribute to getting me laid.

    Cool stuff. I'd love those ice cube trays.
  • Boo. I finally got a hold of someone at Wesco. Here's exactly what she said to me in two emails:

    Hi Nicole
    Unfortunately we never went into production with any.

    Hi Nicole
    Don't think we will end up in production with this item as unfortunately the cost is too high.

    So too bad for all of us, huh? In my second email to her I'd asked about maybe just the Han ice trays, but that got the "cost is too high" response. Sad day.
