Return of Blue Mail Boxes?

I like the new mail improvements, and it makes sense to only have one kind of mailbox, but the art and the frog animation on the blue boxes were soooo cute. I'm trying to come up with another use for them, though both the art and the frog are clearly postal in nature. Any ideas, fellow blue-box-lovers? Any other blue-box-lovers out there?

  • I wanted to ask if we could buy them as antiques when they get the house decoration feature put together.

  • I look forward to the return of the blue mail boxes with the same enthusiasm that I await the return of the 'game closed' sign: Not at all! To parody the lamp commercial: "You may be feeling sorry for this old [mail box system]. That's because you're crazy! It has no feelings! And the new one is much better!"

    All joking aside, I do wonder what role the frogs will be playing now, I haven't gotten anything from the new mail system yet. Didn't staff say the frogs would still be in action?

  • Frogs still deliver.

    Just there's no use for the blue boxes which were easy to spot and looked so ... efficient, with papers sticking out and a pen...even though they weren't.

    I do prefer the new system, though I am nostalgic for the big clunky boxes. Certainly *much* cheaper to send items.

    Asking for an emergency Meat Tetrazzini from a friend now is waaay expensive on their end :/

    10% of list price is too high esp. if it's a crafted item. With no-no the tax can be probably be more than half the creation cost.

  • Good idea Windborn! Maybe we could even use them to send old-timey mail from our improved homes?

  • The blue boxes scared me with their creepy stalker eyes. They wouldn't stop watching me!
