Toys'r'us Townsville 03-04-10 - seantrooper - Saturday 3-Apr-2010
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.
end of transmission
seantrooper over and out.

Well done!
About time someone sorted out those rebel scum up north.

Well done trooper. Trooping with others is easy but doing it on your own would be tough to do.

Nice work mate
RE: Toys'r'us Townsville 03-04-10 - The Scotsman - Saturday 3-Apr-2010
Well done on your first "unofficial" troop. Only a short matter of time until approval.
Really glad you were able to represent us up north. You shall make an excellent addition to the Empire.
With each troop you do, you will gather more Imperial Forces around you.
Great report. Can't wait to see the pix. Load them up on our PB account.
But please don't load them into the default album. And also please use the same date format as the others.
Cheers,
Scotty

Yeah I found that At At at Mt Gravvatt, Was so tempted to buy.
RE: Toys'r'us Townsville 03-04-10 - The Sniper - Saturday 3-Apr-2010
First class mate! Good to see you are keeping the Rebels in check up North.
RE: Toys'r'us Townsville 03-04-10 - The Scotsman - Saturday 3-Apr-2010
Looking the goods there, Trooper.
The first twelve months of any suit is trim/adjust/trim/adjust.
I see about three or so things that you can work on.
Your left thigh. Plus the length of thighs. It will give you better mobility.
Securing your chest and back plate better.
And you might need to have a look at your shoes.
Minor things I know, but they will make all the difference in the long run.
RE: Toys'r'us Townsville 03-04-10 - seantrooper - Saturday 3-Apr-2010
so what do i have to change on the left thigh? and how much do i need to take off the thighs?
boots are going to be fixed tomorrow.

I've tried to answer your questions over on your build thread, so not to derail your awesome effort at the troop today.
Again...... Top Job. Can't wait to troop with you one day.

Well done Sean, you looked great and are doing a great job "unofficially" representing the 501st up. It's really great that we will be spreading the Imperial love up north and im sure you will be recruiting more troopers and before you know it.
Once again, great work.
