In a Queenstown first, on Saturday 24th June, Reel
Collectibles is bringing into Queenstown up to a dozen Star Wars
Stormtroopers and costumed characters.
The event has been timed by Reel Collectibles to
coincide with the Queenstown Winter Festival as an extra exclusive
feature for the community, children and Star Wars fans in general.
The troopers are all members of Outpost 42, the
New Zealand Garrison of the worldwide 501st Legion which is the
premiere organisation for people who own and proudly wear the
professional quality costumes of the Stormtroopers (and other
imperial characters) from the Star Wars movies.
This will be the biggest concentration of authentically
costumed Star Wars characters in one place in New Zealand since
the release of Episode 3:Revenge of the Sith in May 2005.
The troopers will be available for group and individual
photos with public at Reel Collectibles, First Floor, Stratton
House, Beach St, Queenstown from 2pm to 4pm. Public are advised
to bring their cameras for this great opportunity to meet a Stormtrooper
or Star Wars character.
