The Malaysia International Toys Fair 2010 (MITF2010) was a historic event for the 501st Legion: Malaysia-Brunei Outpost. Held at the Mid Valley Convention Centre, the 2 day fair which started on the 24th of July 2010 saw the largest gathering of suited members from the Outpost.
On day one of the event, the 501st Legion were given the honour to escort Datuk Danny Ooi (founder of The Malaysia Book Of Records) in officiating the event and during his tour of the exhibition hall.
Through the day, a constant flow of attendees flocked to our Field Headquarters to meet and have their photograph taken with the 12 suited–up members of the 501st Legion. The line-up of Star Wars characters present that day consists of Darth Vader, a Snowtrooper Commander, an AT-ST Pilot, one Biker Scout, a Royal Guard, an Imperial Officer, an Imperial Crewman, three Stormtroopers, and two of Malaysia’s first screen-accurate Boba Fetts – one from The Empire Strikes Back and the other from Return Of The Jedi.
The second ever 501st Legion Droid Hunt in Malaysia was held on Day Two. More than 30 participants joined the Droid Hunt – a number far larger than we ever expected. It was a huge hit!
Day Two also saw the largest turnout of fully-suited 501st Legion members – 15! The impressive line-up consisted of Darth Vader, Boba Fett (Empire Strikes Back), a Sandtrooper, an Imperial Officer, an Imperial Crewman, a TIE Fighter Pilot, two Biker Scouts, two Royal Guards, four Stormtroopers, and Malaysia’s first ever Jawa!
All things considered, the Malaysia International Toys Fair 2010 was a huge success for the 501st Legion: Malaysia-Brunei Outpost.
