ThinkGeek has updated with the addition of an exclusive R2-D9* USB Car Charger available to Geek Points Members only. Like the R2-D2 Charger, R2-D9’s dome rotates and lights up; he whistles and beeps (when power is connected and when your device begins to charge; force him to animate by pressing his center button which turns power to the ports on). It is available now for $39.99
