I really dig the RCX 4 Star Stryker. But I’ve got to believe that several cease and desist letters are being fedexed as we speak to the company that produces this Star Wars X-wing look-a-like.
The RCX 4 Star Stryker can be controlled up to a mile away, it flies for ten minutes on a full charge and uses 3D gyroscopic technology to balance while in flight, making hovering a breeze. It is priced at $399.
Was this a case where Lucas and co. nixed the licensing deal at the final hour, then the makers of the RCX said we’ve gone this far so let’s put it on the market and see what happens? Who knows. But if you plan to get the RCX it might be a good idea to purchase it while you can because it may not be around in a few weeks.
See it in action below.

I’m guessing that this will be in about three weeks. And when all is said and done I think this film will end its box office gross above 2.1 Billion. Crazy stuff. Anyway it’s good to see a film that is actually great doing amazing numbers. Cheers to Cameron and company.

Now as further confirmation that devices like those used in the movie are indeed on there way we need to only look at devices like the laptop with the transparent screen and the Samsung Ice Touch. …Continue reading … »
