Use Correct Postage, Luke: X-Wing Mailbox
And you thought your mailbox was cool. Painted ducks aren't cool, X-wing fighters are cool. I love getting packages!
This little picture doesn't do the five-foot wing span of Craig Smith's X-Wing mailbox justice.
I made this so long ago, it is actually in need of weathering repairs and repainting. I never expected it to survive vandalism or theft for half a decade. But at five feet long and a five foot wingspan, theft would be quite difficult. Everybody from letter carriers to pizza delivery go out of their way to say how much they like it. There is a street about 10 miles away where older guys have a mailbox rivalry with custom car, firetruck and airplane mailboxes, I should mail them a photo.
Five-foot wingspan, good God! I'm honestly surprised Galactic vandals haven't beat the wings off this thing yet. Or are you Jedi mind-tricking them all? "This is not the maibox you're looking for." Chill out man, we're just here selling candy bars for a school fundraiser. Oh -- and cinch the robe bro, your lightsaber's peepin'. I'm serious, I can see it. Purple like Mace Windu's.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots.

Andy Helms went and redesigned minimalistic posters for the first three Star Wars films (the good ones). These are the results (other two after the jump). As you might have noticed, I used the most phallic one for the front page because I'm you're a pervert. And, if you're ... / Continue →

Won Park folds dollar bills. And so do I. But while he folds his into Star Wars and Star Trek ships, I fold mine in half the long way and give them to strippers. Obviously, we're equally talented. That's a $3 Millennium Falcon in the picture being pursued by what I suspect ... / Continue →
