Cool Stuff: R2D2 Trash Can

ThinkGeek.com has an R2D2 Trash Can which might make throwing away trash cool again (at least for a few minutes, wait, was throwing away trash ever cool?). But at a list price of $149.99 (or ThinkGeek's discounted price of $99.99), I'm not quite sure if it's worth the investment. Apparently the product is imported from Japan, which might explain the price.

When you step on R2's center "foot", his dome shaped head swings open to collect your discarded Death Star plans and other waste materials. Rs stands two feet tall and is made of Durable Vinyl Construction. You can also remove the interior can with a handle which makes trash removal that much easier.
