Date: 03-04-10
Venue: Toys'r'us Townsville
Time: 1000 - 1400 hrs
Mission: To liberate the store for the Empire!
Trooper Attendance: Seantrooper - TK
Guest Trooper Attendance: none
Support Crew: my mum
Detail: Arrived at TRU a bit before 10 to get armoured up. The staff there were very helpful and gave me a private changing room (an old shower ). Only breaking about lunch time for a couple of minutes to get a drink and a bite to eat. I basically roamed the store searching for rebel scum, but only came across a few 2 foot-high spidermans (possibly ewok spies but not hairy enough) . I stood at the entrance very still and people thought i was only a display statue ! so when I moved they got a bit of a surprise. many people wanted photos with me and were really pleased to see me. I got called Darth Vader a few times by a couple of adults so i had my wrangler correct them lol.
Injuries: None, maybe a couple of blisters though.
Malfunctions: none, except a bit of helmet rub on my chest armour (damn fx)
Public Incidents: a couple of surprised customers and a handful of scared little kids. so nothing out of the ordinary.
Mission Status: a complete success for my first unofficial troop
Photos: watch this space.. will be up later today.
