Title: Star Wars Invades the USPS
Post by: Geekyfanboy on March 21, 2007, 02:36:17 PM
The United States Postal Service is joining the Star Wars 30th Anniversary celebration by honoring the franchise with a 30th Anniversary Commemorative Stamp, which will be available for sale within a few short months. In addition, 320 post office boxes across the US will be redesigned to look like a replica of R2D2, and placed in high traffic areas to ensure the greatest public visability. The US Post Office want to remind people that theft of mailboxes and their contents is a violation of federal law.

These look like Drew Struzan's work, but I can't find any confirmation of that.

I wish they had some of the mailboxes near my house. 

I wonder if any nerds are going to steal them.  That would be lame.

I must say I will buy a few of these stamps when they come out. 

Call me geeky! :)
