TK-1755 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Costa Mesa, CA - MEPD Officer Wellington Eng and fellow 501st Legion and Rebel Legion members entertained more than 600 visitors at the Pottery Barn Kids' STAR WARS promotional event on September 13, 2008. LFL had requested that we support the launch of the Pottery Barn Kids SW line of products. In agreement with LFL, Pottery Barn Kids will be making a charity donation to St Judes Children's Hospital on behalf of the entire legion. There was a special visit before the event started by a family whose mother is not supposed to live past the holidays. Officer Eng provided a special Hasbro Battle Pack (below) to her two boys on behalf of the 501st. After the event we had the unique opportunity to lunch with 501st LCO Mark Fordham (below, third from the right) and his two sons who had travelled from Utah to man the Manhattan Beach, CA PBK SW event. (Special thanks to MEPD's GenericFoster, who at the last minute, supplied me with a voice amp for this event after I had fried my old one. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice was excellent with the car stereo speakers on his back. And it looks like you got swamped with autographs too!! Both Jay and another Vader said it made their neck sore!

I'd love to get a Vortex V2! but i don't troop much as vader so it wouldn't be worth it. And a little trick i learned as vader dont use your whole head to look down. Look threw the mouth vent at the bottom I would have thought this thread would have way more pictures from troopers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
