We'll be shocked if this isn't a hoax, but BoingBoing claims the USPS will put out some R2-D2 mailboxes in honor of Star Wars' 30th anniversary.
We're keeping our fingers crossed for Pottery Barn to release a Chewbacca shag rug.

Yup, its true. I saw one of the R2D2's on Guadalupe St in Austin, Texas this weekend. It's even cooler in person.
I saw one of these mailboxes at Greensboro College yesterday, Greensboro, NC. It was very recognizable as I passed by at 35mph.
