R2-D2 Mailboxes in a Post Office Far Far Away

R2D2 Mailbox

We’ve had the R2-D2 Trashcan and the cool R2D2 Webcam and the absolutely coolest of cool R2D2 R/C DVD Projector. Now the US Postal Service has noticed the versatility of the talented little astromech droid and we’re going to see R2D2 mailboxes.

[...] The USPS is releasing Star Wars-themed postage stamps on 25 May, which I think is cool. Just think for a minute how much Star Wars is part of popular culture, and not just in the US, but internationally, too. Anyway, on this USPS site you can vote for your favorite stamp design which, according to the USPS is happening for only the second time in its 256 year history. The winning stamp will become its own stamp sheet. To honor the occasion, the USPS has decorated those blue mailboxes you see on street corners to look like R2D2. [...]
