Star Wars invades Wal-Mart *pictures*

[ramanth]

A lot of stores across the country were doing special promotions or midnight sales with the release of the Episode III action figures/merchandise.

The vendor working with Wal-Mart asked the 501st if any of it's members could come out in costume.

We were more than happy to oblige. ;) :D

At the Howell Wal-Mart, Doug, Andy, and I suited up. A few others costumed at two other MI locations.

Here's the album of pictures taken with my camera.

I can't read it but there may be some in Munich. :)

I'm impressed- I never saw them here but it looks as if they have about 30 officers in Bavaria:D

[ramanth]

Cool! We're hard to spot when we dress like average citizens. ;) :D
