Coming soon, to a mailbox near you…

According to the Houston Chronicle, the United States Postal Service is going to be turning some mailboxes in 200 US cities into everyone’s favorite little astro droid — R2-D2. It’s not only to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, but a fun promotion for the release of a new stamp. (Hat tip: Matt’s mom.) I actually do collect stamps and sure, it’s a way dorky pastime made even geekier by what I can only assume are stamps based on Star Wars. Speaking of dorky pastimes, if you would like to build your own Astromech droid (which I admittedly kinda want to do right now), I suggest you look at a resource like this one where The Force is nothing but strong, of course.
