Always glad to have new faces!! Fixed your original post to show your images directly.

Can we find out how many toys were donated? That's reportable on the charity reports. Let me know before the end of the month.

That's why they always are seen looking sideways in the speeder bike chase scene lol!!

What do you want your username changed to?

On September 15th, the Carolina Garrison deployed to the Florence Comic-Con in Florence, SC. This was the first sci-fi / comic convention in Florence, a joint effort by the local Legends Comics store, and Nuklear Comics in Sumter, SC.

The Garrison was very well received by both the convention staff and the attendees. The staff were kind enough to comp our tickets and table for us, and we had a nice ample area towards the back both to set up our display and even execute a Blast-A-Trooper!

At first it didn't look like the BAT wouldn't work out, but in the end it did, which is great because we raised $312 that went to the parents of a child by the name of Owen Plasman, who is battling bone cancer. This will no doubt help his parents with Owen's medical bills.

We've already been invited back next year for an even larger Florence Comic-Con 2014!

Had a great time, so glad we can make Richard's short time left here with us something really special for him and his family.

Also had a blast working on the Lego diorama and relaxing with you guys.

Al, when's that get-together Garrison party you mentioned a few months ago?

Have you thought about the Reserve Pilot / Imperial Crewman? The boots for it are a bit easier to find (jackboots as opposed to riding boots) and you actually have two costumes right out the door plus three more you can build to easily: Tie Pilot, Imperial Gunner, and Navy Trooper. I did my RP for about $100.
