Who is the 501st Legion? You can read about their history within the Star Wars saga, as well as the real-life members of the 501st Legion here. In the movies and books, they are under the command of Darth Vader himself. In real life, they are a worldwide organization that does a lot of great charity work. (If you click on the stormtroopers link in my sidebar, you can see what some of the local guys are involved in.)
Children often ask for the stormtroopers' autographs. My husband is a stormtrooper and a member of the 501st Legion. He has signed the action figure with his 501st ID. (Please note that he is not an actor and was not in any of the Star Wars films.)
The Imperial Cadet Manual and 501st Legion tattoo are exclusives that can only be obtained from a member of the 501st Legion. (The "Pottery Barn Kids" printed at the bottom is there because that particular run was given out by the stormtroopers at the PB launch of their new Star Wars line.) The back of the activity booklet is also signed.
To enter to win, simply leave a comment along with some way to contact you if you are the winner. I'll randomly choose a winner on Monday, November 3.

My almost 7 yr old son would LOVE this. We just got back from Disneyland where he went though Jedi training again. Although he is Jedi trained, he is definitely more into the Dark Side. He is Darth Vadar for Halloween and I can not begin to count the number of Star Wars Legos I have stepped on and ships I have helped him build. Oh WE would love this :)
wow --- our whole family is crazy about Star Wars.

My kids would love this. We missed the PB Star Wars day at ours because both Daddy and I were sick..!
My son is a huge Star Wars fan. He doesn't have any of these particular Star Wars items in his collection. I don't care one way or the other about Star Wars but I do think the light saber my son has is just way cool. Even I play with it when he's not home. Heaven forbid I drop and break it while I'm playing with it. I'd have to pack my bags and leave no forwarding address.

My step-brother battles droids in his sleep. How do we know this? He also talks and walks in his sleep. It'd be hilarious if it didn't always result in massive amounts of damage to our personal property.
