R2D2 Mailbox

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. [...]
