Jan 16 Adidas Originals Gold Coast - Lestat - Sunday 17-Jan-2010
Date:
16 January 2010
Venue:
Adidas Originals, 3170 Surfers Paradise Blvd (Cnr Cavill Ave), Surfers Paradise
Time:
1000hrs - 1400hrs
Mission:
To maintain a strong imperial presence for the launch of the Adidas Originals x Star Wars Collection Launch
Trooper Attendance:
TK5705 Goose
TD8375 Dredd
TK8321 Lestat
TI2478 -Rents-
TK9893 RedaV
Wranglers:
Mel
Cristy
Mouldman
Detail:
Whilst the armory was a little on the cramped side (even for the Economical Assault Troopers) everyone geared up and was ready for any possible rebel disturbance. With the sun blazing down and humidity rising the toopers bravely took up their post at the main entrance to the store.
It wasn’t long before the local inhabitants fell under the charm and influence of the darkside with alot of smiles and photos being taken.
After several hours it was time for the troops to head back to the deathstar knowing that the Gold Coast was now safely an Imperial stronghold.
Injuries:
None that I’m aware of.
Malfunctions:
No major malfunctions reported except a belt or two that kept sliding down.
Public Incidents:
One rebel infiltrator attempted to tackle a trooper but no injuries were sustained.
Mission Status:
A big success with Adidas staff and the local inhabitants having a great time.

RE: Jan 16 Adidas Originals Gold Coast - The Scotsman - Sunday 17-Jan-2010
Well done and great work Troopers.
Fantastic report.
RE: Jan 16 Adidas Originals Gold Coast - The Sniper - Sunday 17-Jan-2010
Good stuff guys. Thought we would see a few meter maids though.
RE: Jan 16 Adidas Originals Gold Coast - Goose - Sunday 17-Jan-2010
Sorry fellow Redbacks, not a Meter Maid to be seen!
Congrats to our Gold Coast guys in armour. Lestat and RedaV did a great jobespecially as this was only their 2nd troop!
BUT I do have a complaint to make. Whenever the guys turned side on, they sorta disapeared. Several citizens made offers on the "Life sized cardboard stand ups", but were told that they were real Stormtroopers (But we were willing to take offers!). I can see now why they are called the the "EATS" squad. I felt like Jabba the Hutt next to these guys
Well done troops! The crew from Adidas want us back for the next wave of products, so Cristy gave them Kev details, plus we got to hand out some of our new trading cards (yay!)

I think we might have to issue all EAT Squad members with the following.

RE: Jan 16 Adidas Originals Gold Coast - Tachyon - Sunday 17-Jan-2010
I like The Scotsman's suggestion, but that would mean that we'd have to resize our armor
Good workon the troop guys.
RE: Jan 16 Adidas Originals Gold Coast - TD-1535 - Sunday 17-Jan-2010

I'd be up for that.
It'd make my Imp Off pop. Good thing I'm redoing the tunic.
