    I've just started to read and collect manuals, encyclopedias, etc. When I have time, I go and read stuff on Star Fleet Academy and the Star Trek website... so mainly B and C.

    Let's see... Geek, probably. Hard B. Soft A and even softer C. Or something.

    B, with a softer A and C. I've seen all the shows and movies at least once (except TAS), some multiple times, and own it all on DVD and Bluray. I have some novels, comics and reference books. I also have some ship models and figures (mostly the retro Megos).

    I don't know what that makes me but I voted for B/C because that felt closest. I certainly don't like everything Trek (I especially don't care for Abramstrek) and some shows are better than others, and some characters better than other. But generally I'm into the mythos, or world-building.

    I am B and C. I love the technical aspects as well as enjoying watching the shows ad movies. (Except Kelvin Universe).

    Really it all describes me. I haven't worked my way up to an outfit yet but I have plenty of collectibles on top of all my trek books and I can talk the episodes all day long. I'm just trying to will myself to watch TAS finally.

    I used to be B & C - bought over 100 novels and most of the PC games, and spent a stack on the Star Trek CCG.

    However, I stopped buying novels around 2001, the game stopped coming out and the CCG died. I suppose that means I'm just B now.

    I have seen everything, can't quote Starfleet regulations or engine specs.........I do have a shelf full of ships and maybe a phaser or two.

    I picked B and C. I've seen every episode, and I have a few model spaceships and books. But I don't go overboard with my collecting. However, truth be told, I'd collect more if I could afford to.

    I've gone for B&C
    I've got and read the tech manuals but I can't remember most of it! The eps I've seen countless times and my recall is pretty good
    My collecting isn't as prolific as it once was now being a family man! It mostly consists of books and T shirts with some mugs and the occasional models thrown in.

    Right here buddy.
    I kind of want to add a "D) I'm just your average fan" to the poll but lots of votes have been cast already and even though change your vote is on, the poll wouldn't reflect those who don't come back's votes correctly.

    Or maybe I'm over thinking it.

    None of them... I'm just enjoying the show as it is.
    I've got one book about TOS, one book and a magazine about TNG series and a biography, though; I did read a few comics, some interviews, a few fanfics and I had a quick look to the technical manual, to some specifications; just being curious, but not learning every aspect of it.
    Maybe it's just me, but I haven't got much money to get everything of the show, so I just get what I think is worthy.
