Star Wars is coming to a Mailbox near you.

That’s right Rebles and Federation Storm Troopers, soon (if not already) you will be able to be sending out your snail mail (hey, does anyone still send snail mail?) by stuffing it inside R2D2. Yep, the US Postal service is indeed issuing mailboxes in the form of the little droid.
That’s right, Mail is fun again! You see, the Postal Service is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars with these R2D2-style mailboxes.
All I can say about this is that I’m surprised that the Postal service is suborning federal crimes, because you just know that some hard-up (hard core) fanboy is — sooner or later — going to boost one of these little babies and that‘s when the fun is going to start, because diverting U.S. Mail is a federal crime, worse (if you can imagine it) than rape or multiple homicide.
Personally, I can hardly wait.

Philadelphia has had the mailbox for over a month :) I’ve only seen one, but it’s on a major street and my husband and I got such a kick out of seeing it. Now I look for it everywhere :)

I saw one of those in San Antonio when I was there late June. I felt silly taking a photo, but I wasn’t the only one! heh
