Billy, the displays are ordered to be destroyed after the promoting is over. So its hard to get them. Most Post offices wont give them to fans. cry

On USPS.com it says you can preorder the stamps starting april 25th, yet there is no place to pre order them..I guess you have to call to order over the phone..

I know someone who preordered the stamps and already recieved them. I thought they cant release em early like that.

Oh and as for the stand up, I asked at my post office and they already have it reserved d for someone so I bet some will be saved. --Billy

I was very fortunate enough to get a hold of one of those stand ups. I know the people in my PO very well, they know Im a Star Wars fan. I came in one day and the clerk said "You wanted that stand up right?" I said "ah. . . oh yeah yeah sure. Yeah I was the one who asked for it."
She said she would call her supervisor and hold it for me. I still thought there is no way I'm getting this.
A few days later I walk in and see the display gone. I ask the clerk and he said "oh were holding it in the back for you."
I got it out of there as quick as I could.
It's now sitting in my living room.

The clerk later told me that the supervisor must be new because they werent supposed to let the standup go. My friend the clerk tryed to get another one for someone else and they squashed it. I got very lucky. --Billy
