... 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.
