Mimobot Expands Their Star Wars USB Empire

Mark Wilson — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:40:00 EDT

In case you've missed earlier editions of Mimobot's Star Wars USB drives, they've returned (a la Jedi) with new, cuter than ever characters.

C-3P0, an Ewok and Vader himself comprise the new $40 line of 4GB flash drives. We'd love to see the three of these guys drink together. The Ewok passes out after his first beer. And with the little one asleep, C-3P0's eyes glance up at Vader, who reciprocates an intense, mechanical stare. Their metal hands reach across the table. And, if only for a moment, they consider another life that simply cannot be. [Vat19 via CrunchGear]

We love pretty much everything about mimobots—designer USB flash drives that come in flavors from Star Wars sex to pirates—except their designer price. But through Monday, they've knocked 36 percent off everything they sell (because that's how much of its value the Dow has lost through year), officially bring them into reasonably priced geek gift territory.

New Star Wars Series 3 Mimobot Flash Drives Are Now Up For Pre-Order

Mimobot, fine purveyors of geeky collectible flash drives, have introduced the next batch of Star Wars flash drives. There's an egg-headed C-3PO, Wicket, Imperial Guard and my favorite, Emperor Palpatine, who's channeling Dark Side force zaps at all times, keeping your data safe. Like the last batch they can play Star Wars sounds when you mount and unmount, if you want to go there. [mimobots via Underwire]

Mimobot Designer Flash Drives Grow to 8GB

If lack of storage was the major reason you were holding off on dropping the coin for a mimobot designer flash drive (which I have a soft spot for even though the price/value ratio is slightly outside of this reality), get ready to open up your tri-fold wallet, they've just started offering 8GB drives. They're $140, about double what you'd pay for a Cruzer Contour, which has its own design premium. But they are really cute. [Mimoco]
