As a big Babylon 5, and after I betrayed star trek to come over to Babylon 5 so many years ago. I feel the UK has been forgotten by WB and JMS.
Merchandise. When I started watching Babylon 5 I was about 16 and was starting at collage (I was a Star trek fan for years before I joined B5, since then I havenÆt picked up a star trek ep in years) But when I was 16, I started collage and didnÆt have much money, so couldnÆt buy much B5 merchandise, since leaving collage vie got a good job and are some good money, when I come to buy B5 merchandise to my horror there is none. I have searched the internet to find no UK sites that sell B5 Merchandise, I have been to many cities in the UK and have travelled to many Sc-Fi shops to find anything of B5 and guess what? There was NONE, (well apart from a 30inch thin silver metal model that was going for ú100, which is about. $150.
Books- Where do I buy books from at all? Have you seen the Amazon list? Yes lots of books there but nearly 90% are ôlimited liabilityö which means none left, a few I can get but as im not a big fan on the fiction books they donÆt appeal to me, I have tried many bookshops, even waterstones in the second capital of Great Britain and its empire didnÆt have any books? Could you tell me the reason JMS? Also I would like to buy the B5 security Manual but a ú50 for a second hand copy ($80) it was a bit much.
Figers,models, badges etc û I gave up trying to find this type of merchandise a long time ago.
DVD û 29th March season 4 released? On the 10th of November season 3 was released, why is going to take 6 months to bring out a new box set JMS? You do know we wont get season 5 till like October, I donÆt feel this is very fair as I would like to buy it now, and as how other sc-fi box sets come out monthly (Star trek, Stargate etc et).
Babylon 5 is a huge program and would have a huge fan base if you had more publicity and more marketing in the UK, Babylon 5 is one of the best shows that has ever been aired (other than ôstar trek Original series, come on Kirk is classic, lol) but B5 has got some of the best actors, best scripts and put together in such a way that is unique and wonderful, I command you on a fine show. But I need merchandise to fill my addiction, lol. Does anyone else feel the same as me?

Despite the fact that I live in Huddersfield, I have never had any problems obtaining the B5 novels.
Via Mail Order.
FROM BIRMINGHAM!
If you are not already aware, one of the best SF books shops on the planet is in Brum - the Andromda Bookshop in SuffolkStreet - they can get any book if its in print.
There is always Forbidden Planet as well (where Nostalgia & Comics used to be).
If you don't get anywhere in Brum - try The Sheffield Space Centre.
Good Luck
