Hi!
I've been visiting this site for along while but never got around to joining. Well now I have at last joined and I'd thought I'd introduce myself. I am a engineer in training and, obviously, love Star Trek. My favourite series are DS9 and TOS, although I love all incarnations (even TAS) , with
my favourite ship being the Defiant. Favourite characters include plain simple Garak, O'Brien (as I am an O'Brien myself), Sisko, Kirk, the Doc (EMH), Riker, McCoy, Data, Quark along with many others. Other than Star Trek, I am a massive fan of Gerry Anderson and all his shows, I am a FOL (fan of Lego), lots of various sitcoms (The Big Bang Theory, Frasier, Cheers), and comics (mainly Marvel due to all the changes to the DC universe). At the moment I am collecting Playmates, and so far over six months have 153 figures plus three shuttles, the TNG bridge, and the transporter. Oh, I also live in Birmingham, UK.
Thanks for letting me join this amazing site, and I look forward to knowing you all.
Thanks
Redshirt

Hey Redshirt#7,
Welcome to the board. Glad to see another UK collector here. I'm from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, a little under an hour away from Birmingham.
Good luck with the Playmates hunt. Most aren't too had to find here in the UK (mainly through eBay.) Although on Saturday is the Memorabilia Collectors Fair at the NEC and that's another great place for figures.
If you need any help with anything, let us know.
Take care,
Matty-lad

Thanks one and all for your welcomes! After being on here for a few weeks, I can't honestly believe how good TrekToy.com is! I have been on two forums before and, in my opinion, due to 20,000 people or so being on one in particular, it was wound very tight and anybody and everybody would ignore you unless you had 500 + posts, which is hard due to me not being at my computer all the time. Here, well, its like Quarks bar, nice and relaxing, some good discussion and heated debates, you meet some great people, get the latest news and have a good time. I look forward to be a part of the community here, and to all those here who are so welcoming, thanks very, very much.
