Enrico writes in with a new store find today revealing the app-enabled Smart R2-D2.

I came across these at a local Walmart in San Diego this morning. I tried to buy the 12″ Rebels Vader but wasn’t allowed to. The remote R2-D2 was a surprise item. I haven’t seen it in any advance catalog. Looking at the box, it’s controlled via an app on Android and iPhone. Sorry I didn’t get pictures of the box.

You can download the app now to control the Bluetooth Smart R2-D2 via iTunes app store.

UPDATE: Smart R2-D2 is exclusive to Walmart
