in honor of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, the USPS is wrapping a bunch of mail boxes to look like R2D2

as an avid star wars fan....someone better offer these to the public!

I know it's got to be a federal offence but don't you think some of these are going to go missing in the middle of the night.

Pretty cool!

Cute. Our head engineer calls one of my lab techs (Arturo) "R2-D2"

yeah...I'm guessing they probably will.

I'm wondering how long before some brilliant soul puts one up on ebay!

If it is just a wrapper around the standard blue box, then I bet a knife cut, and you'll see that on e-bay. It would be a lot less hastle than the whole box.

following the link from engadget to force.net, there's more pics where you can see overspray--it is actually a paint job rather than a vinyl wrap.

Just saw one this morning and was wondering "***?"

It's just a wrapper around the standard old blue.
