NJ - Hoboken: R2D2 Mailbox

In 2007, hundreds of official U.S. Postal Service blue collection boxes in highly visible locations across 200 cities were transformed into Star Wars character R2D2 look-alikes. The decal-covered mailboxes were rolled out to promote a joint venture with Lucasfilm Ltd: a commemorative stamp roll celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars' release, that went on sale May 25 of that year.

 

"R2-D2 is the feisty little droid who embodies the trust and dependability for which the Postal Service is so renowned." (USPS.gov)
