Make an R2-D2 mailbox out of paper
(Credit: PaperKraft.net)When the U.S. Postal Service launched several hundred R2-D2-skinned postal drop boxes around the country last year, it also quietly released a printable paper craft version for Star Wars fans who don't live near one of the limited edition mail receptacles. Being that I don't have good enough quality paper or glue stick skills to accomplish such a feat myself, I let the pros do the work then post their shots to Flickr.
Ron over at PaperKraft.net has put together a wonderful paper rendition of the lovable droid. While not as intricate as his Howl's Moving Castle or as nerdy as the paper weighted companion cube from Portal, I'm thinking about making one of these for some cubicle kitsch.

I have seen a number of pictures over the past few months of the US Star Wars Postal Boxes, but these little paper craft babies look fantastic.
'London needs Star Wars Post Boxes'
Darth Vader, Boba and Jango Fett helmet post boxes, R2D2, even a Jabba the Hutt. I hope Royal Mail are regular visitors to CNet and explore this unquestionably sensible suggestion.
May the Force Be with You....
