Radio Flyer Making Kid-Sized, Driveable Version of Star Wars Landspeeder

Featuring two forward speeds (2 and 5 mph), a reverse gear, an "interactive" light-up dashboard, seating for two, and sound effects from the actual movie, the Landspeeder is only missing one thing: the ability to hover.

Sadly, because this isn't a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, this miniature version is stuck on four wheels, though the company did a pretty good job blacking out everything underneath the body for a decent anti-gravity illusion. And all the details are there, right down to the missing cowling on the left-side engine. The whole package is powered by a rechargeable 12-volt battery.

All this intergalactic fun doesn't come cheap, though. The Radio Flyer Landspeeder will retail for $500 exclusively at Toys 'R' Us beginning on September 5, so make sure your kid doesn't try and pawn it off for a measly 2,000 credits.

Of course, with a "4+" age suggestion and a payload of 130 pounds, there are likely a few petite adults out there who can (and will) squeeze in for a quick run to Mos Eisley.
