These boxes must be everywhere in the U.S. now. I saw them on the MN blogs and now in Greenville. I clicked on the link and see it Is a new campaign. Very good choice.

Eric at Paris Daily Photo said,
Does he bip when you put a letter inside? I’m not sure the french post office could ever get this clever.
ben said,
This is way too cool! Is there C3PO around somewhere?
Mandi said,
Wow! Very space age. It looks like R2D2! ;-)
Kate said,
A fine photograph and a good find! I can’t wait to see them when I return to MN next Sunday. I’m glad that the postal service is spiffing up its image!
isabella said,
Very cool! Does it beep at you when you your letter lacks postage (yes, I’ve done that)?
Laurie said,

zannnie said,
ohhh so ”Jedi” and futuristic looking ones!:)
Keropokman said,
i was looking at St Paul’s version, and now I see yours. It really gives a all rounded photo of it.
I would love to post something in this boxes :-)
Felicia said,
Denton, this is great…I posted the same :) R2D2 clones are invading the US! Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. That is cool that you’ve been successful making $ with this blog!!
Edwin said,
R2D2 does get about, doesn’t he? I like it that you shot it face on. Somewhat more 3D than the others. The colours pop.
Carol said,
These appeared “just in time” for Theme Day, but little did we know we would be inundated with R2D2 photos!! (Dang, I thought mine was going to be so unique… I shoulda known.)
Meg said,
Are these semi-permanent, or peel off jobs?
sophieandersen said,
The Force certainly is popular today….!
dijah said,

BTW,thanks for dropping by at ADP!

tomate farcie said,
Oh, that’s an original mailbox. Hope it doesn’t take our mail all the way into space.
Jenny said,
I’ve just learned about these Star Wars mailboxes - so funny!
Denton said,
Thanks for all yours comments. Theme days are always a lot of fun. This one turned out better than I had thought it would given the difficult subject.
I will have to do some research before I can answer those who asked if the R2D2 mailbox beeped or had a projector or if they are perminate.
Lessie said,
Muy cool! :)
