STAR WARS CELEBRITY BILLY DEE WILLIAMS TO ATTEND PITTSBURGH TOY SHOW!

Pittsburgh, -- Orangestone Promotions, Inc., promoters of Pennsylvania's Largest
Toy Show (http://www.pittsburghtoyshow.com) has announced very exciting news about
its upcoming July 29-30, 2006 Toy Show at the Pittsburgh Expomart - Monroeville.
Nothing brings a crowd to an event like Star Wars celebrities. What really brings
the biggest crowds are celebrities that make rare appearances. Show Promoter,
Dominic Alessandria states that "we are very pleased to announce that we have signed
Billy Dee Williams to appear at our upcoming convention. Billy Dee Williams is best
know for his role as "Lando" in the classic Star Wars movies, but also reached fame
from other hits such as Brian's Song and Nighthawks. Mr. Alessandria goes on to say
that "while we are very excited about signing Mr. Williams, we are even more excited
that he chose to come to our event since he limits his number of public appearances.


Billy Dee Williams will also be receiving a special honor at the Pittsburgh Toy
Show. He will have the rare privilege of becoming an honorary member of the
501st Legion. Nearly all key Star Wars celebrities including George Lucas have
received this distinctive honor. For those not familiar with the 501st Legion,
it's an organization of over 5,000 members worldwide that dress up as the "bad
guys" from the Star Wars movies. The 501st Legion is known as the definitive
costuming organization. Mr. Williams is also slated to do a Q & A session to
answer questions from his most loyal fans.

If having Billy Dee Williams signing is not enough for you, the Pittsburgh Toy
Show has much more to offer! As another special treat for show attendees will be
the appearance of Richard Kiel. Richard Kiel is famous for his role as "Jaws" in
the James Bond 007 movies and Happy Gilmore. Richard Kiel has been noted for
being 7'2"and 340 pounds. This is Mr. Kiel's first signing in Pennsylvania. The
Show will also offer Comic Artists and Show Specials.

available for those who want to take part in the show. Additionally, the first 1,000
show attendees during the Early Buyer Event will receive a FREE Buffy the Vampire
/Angel action figure. Still want more? ..how about a Charity drawing in which an
attendee will win over $1,000 in toys for only $1.
