LYNDORA — A biker Stormtrooper and other emissaries of the Empire greeted visitors to the Butler Area Toy Show Saturday at the General Vagabond Hall, 138 Whitestown Road.

In addition to the members of the 501st Legion Starkiller Garrison of Western Pennsylvania Star Wars cosplayers, the event was filled with 36 vendors spread over 92 tables and attendees browsing over collections of toys, wrestling figures, books, posters, VHS tapes, action figures, vintage video games, and My Little Pony and Polly Pocket collections.

The three, collectors themselves, had been working six months to put together the inaugural toy show.
