R2-D2 Mailbox Sighting! Reader Responds

March 22, 2007

After hearing the United States Postal Service has decided to pay homage to the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars series by covering select mailboxes with R2-D2 shells I went on a hunt in San Francisco in search of pimped out mailboxes.

I searched and I searched, but it was all in vain. Luckily, msugar and her friend Anika spotted the kitschy mailboxes near their office in Oregon. Apparently, Anika's first reaction was "where's C-3PO?"

We have one too! The one by my office is across from a comic book/anime/kitschy stuff store and my coworker said, "wow...how did the store get the post office to let them do that?" Because I read geeksugar, I said, "nonono...the post office did it!" I thought about taking a picture of us with it...I'll definitely do it this weekend! :)

There's actually one of these mailboxes on the corner of my office building. They're not really as impressive in real life. I don't think anyone really took notice of it. I'll enjoy the pictures of them instead.
