... at my favorite flea market and guess what little gem I found and brought home with me for $125:

A vintage 1996 Pepsi R2D2 cooler made in St. Louis, MO! Woo hoo! He was marked at $225 but I haggled a bit.

Edit - After I dusted the little guy off today I uncovered some stickers and found out he is a 1996 R2D2.

I have been looking for that for over a decade.

If Crayola had a color called "jealous green," that is what color I would be colored in my coloring book of life.

So.

I hope you sleep well.

PS. Even though I am jealous, I still love you.

I have one of those in my man-cave! They are great to fill with action figures... I'd never use it for soda pop!

Way to respect the Legion Staff there CJ!

Hey Rhonda, I don't think buying this qualifies as being an R2 Builder.

Thanks everyone.

Aw Kevin, I'm sorry. I'll keep a look out to see if another one shows up in the flea market.

I doubt I can find a Maul at that price though, Eric!

No worries, CJ. I know I'm a nerd - a computer nerd and Star Wars nerd. Rock on!

Rats, lol. Ok, well the R2 cooler will tide me over until I get my R2 built.

But I don't want my R2 signed.

I already have several items with his autograph.

I have the R2 cooler from Episode 3 from when I worked at break time. Although mine isn't in near the shape Rhonda's is mine was significantly cheaper heh. but I had to beg to get mine instead of haggle ah well he was worth it.

Awesome, my friend has one. Yes, we are all nerds, computers rock, Star Wars rocks, and Halo rocks.
