2 - A B5 t-shirt?

3 - Anything from the Official Fan Club? What is/was it?

4 - A B5 calendar?

5 - Any of the B5 comic books?

6 - Any B5 action figures? Which one(s)?

7 - B5 micro-machines or pewter miniatures?

8 - All of the Babylon 5 DVDs? If not all, which are you missing?

9 - B5 clothing other than t-shirt (jacket, polo shirt, etc.)?

10 - Babylon 5 watch?

11 - Anything autographed by JMS or any B5 actor?

12 - Babylon 5 poster or lithograph?

And just for fun, what's the most rare or unusual B5 item you have, licensed or not?

All of the above, though I'll have to get back to you after I decide what is the rarest or unusual. And I really don't want to list everything. Many of the CD's. Some, not much, of the Fan Club stuff from when I was a member. Most if not all of the action figures.

I think the most rare and unusual thing is the small version of "Declaration of Principles" I got signed by JMS at Phoenix CC - though it competes with my Psi Corps pin signed by Pat Tallman.

That is actually more than I thought it would be . . .

Updates may follow.

Great idea! I'll add my list when I have the chance to check a couple things tonight. I think my list is going to be fairly lacking though

Would it be an idea to add novels, magazines, trading cards, and RPG materials to the standardized list?

Yeah ! I have trading cards and most of the books as well.

[Looney]

Maybe rare and unusual item might be my life-size Claudia standee. I don't know how rare it is, but I just looked at it. LOL Or the JMS autographed Variant Declaration of Principles that I believe is 1 of 10 according to the lovely person I got it from.

I had so many choices that I thought if this one ends up popular, I may do more than one. Meanwhile folks have an 'excuse' to play with their cool stuff!

This looks like fun

1 - Any Babylon 5 Soundtrack CDs? Which?
-> All of them.

2 - A B5 t-shirt?
-> Yes, four self-made ones.

3 - Anything from the Official Fan Club? What is/was it?
-> Were the official B5-magazines released via the fan club? If so, yes. If not, no.

4 - A B5 calendar?
-> Yes. I think it was the 1999 one.

5 - Any of the B5 comic books?
-> Yes. All of them. Single issues as well as the three collections "The Price of Peace", "Shadows Past and Present" and "In Valen's Name".

6 - Any B5 action figures? Which one(s)?
-> No.

7 - B5 micro-machines or pewter miniatures?
-> No.

8 - All of the Babylon 5 DVDs? If not all, which are you missing?
-> Yes, all of them. Most of them twice, actually.
I bought the Season 1-5 boxes (german, R2) when they were released independently. I also bought all the tv-movies (except Legend of the Rangers) when they were released individually (also german, R2). However, they then released a "monster box" featuring all the movies (up to "Legend of the Rangers") as well as all the seasons, and I bought it again. I also bought the US movie box because it features the re-edit of the pilot. Thus, I actually got most of the B5-movies three times. And of course, I also bought "The Lost Tales" twice, first the US release (I just didn't wanna wait for the release over here), and then the german R2 DVD.

9 - B5 clothing other than t-shirt (jacket, polo shirt, etc.)?
-> The german "monster box" included a B5 cap.

10 - Babylon 5 watch?
-> nope.

11 - Anything autographed by JMS or any B5 actor?
-> Yes. From JMS: B5 lithograph, a small miniprint of the same poster, B5 20 book, the booklet from the german "monster box", the "Lost Tales"-comic, the PCC poster, and a reprint of a drawing of the B5 station from the unproduced Arne Starr-comic.
B5 cast: Lithograph, B5 20 book, and individual signatures on character portraits.

12 - Babylon 5 poster or lithograph?
-> Yes, that one: http://www.lightspeedfineart.com/pro...graph-unsigned
When looking on their page it just occured to me that they would have had a Bruce Boxleitner signed one. If I would have known in advance that he won't be able to attend PCC, I could have gotten that one. Would definitely have been cheaper than to now attend a con just to get his signature on that damn thing .

And just for fun, what's the most rare or unusual B5 item you have, licensed or not?
-> The unproduced "Gut Reactions" script signed by Bill Mumy and Peter David (thanks to you, Jan ), and a self-made CD of the "Into the Fire" soundtrack.

[Brandon Klassen]

Yes! Including the Gathering / In The Beginning "Two Volume Set" double-sided disc in those old cardboard style cases, as well as a "TV PREMIERE DVD" of The Gathering only in a "record jacket" style cardboard hanger (cheapest packaging ever, the disc is probably getting scratched in there).

Nope.

10 - Babylon 5 watch?
Nope.

11 - Anything autographed by JMS or any B5 actor?
Just the Script Book Volume 15 by JMS.

Cancelled video game lenticular promo mousepad? Volume 15 personalized from JMS? Do those count?

I have a small handful of other stuff in categories not covered, overall it's a humble collection, which is probably good though because in the past I have been a bit of a collector with some things, and you don't want your collecting to get out of hand

cornholio, that is crazy (and incredibly awesome) that you've got all the soundtracks. I LOVE soundtracks. Man, I just can't imagine!
