R2D2 Mailbox Map: Dispatches From The American Hoth

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Looks like the rumors of R2D2's postal death have been greatly exaggerated.

This past weekend we received our two favorite R2D2 mailbox spottings to date-- Alaska and Hawaii.

Jaunted tipster Scott, in Hawaii, tells us he suspects at least three droid mail units in the Aloha state, the one he submitted, one in Waikiki, and one on Maui. Meanwhile, up on America's very own planet Hoth, a couple of rowdy storm troopers took a great shot of them with their captured R2 unit.

The lesson here, aside from the fact that it snows in Alaska in May, is that the game is still afoot. So get out there and find your local droid mail drop and send it in.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: The Last Days Of Droid Mail?

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

A Jaunted tipster sent in this photo from the Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech.

The USPS Star Wars stamp promo ends this Friday, and with just a couple days of voting left, somehow the Star Wars scene that inspired this R2 mailbox photo is only in third place.

Will the R2D2 mailboxes disappear from American street corners once this promo ends? More than likely, so get back out there before the end of hte week and locate more of the 380 R2 units spread across the U.S., snap a photo, send it our way and we will add it to the R2D2 USPS Mailbox Map.

Is The R2D2 Mailbox Promotion Over?

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

Nope. Don't worry young Jedi, the R2D2 Mailbox takeover is still going strong. The USPS Star Wars stamp promotion doesn't even hit stores until May 25th. Besides we have photographic proof that there are still plenty of R2D2 mailboxes around.

As proof of life, we offer our favorite droid mail to date, which arrived in our inbox earlier this week. The above R2 pic, taken in Anaheim, CA, is a stunning photo, don't you think?

That said, it is time to get back out there and locate more of the 380 R2 units spread across the U.S., snap a photo and send it our way.

Also in this update, Miami Beach locations.

R2D2 Mailbox Map: Droid Mail on the Road

Contribute your R2D2 mailbox locations by uploading your photo, with mailbox address to the Jaunted Flickr Photo Pool, or sending us the photo and street address via email.

To promote a new Star Wars 30th Anniversary the U.S. Postal Service announced a new stamp pane featuring 15 Star Wars stamps available until May 25.

To generate buzz for this promotion, in March, the USPS placed somewhere between 200 and 400 mailboxes throughout the nation, all dressed up as Artoo units--cool. Here is a list of the cities with R2D2 mailboxes.

We have seen a couple of these mailboxes in person and decided to put them on a map for y'all.

Many R2 mailbox photos and city locations exist on Flickr and on Frappr, but our hope is to detail the exact location of many R2D2 mailboxes, just in case you want to see one up close an personal. The best news? With so many cities on the list, odds are you won't have to travel far to see the droid mail units.

Want to help your fellow travelers find droid mail? You can add to the R2D2 mailbox map. Just send us a photo along with a street address and we will add it to the map.
