Last Christmas I received a Star Trek shirt as a gift<\/a>. Since I am not exclusively a Trekkie, presumably I should hope for or buy other outfits from other franchises in future years, to build up a collection? If so, which would you choose? I\u2019d love to have a Doctor Who outfit \u2013 whether Tom Baker\u2019s scarf, Peter Davison\u2019s cricket uniform, or Sylvester McCoy\u2019s costume. And I\u2019ve always thought that the viper pilot uniforms from the classic Battlestar Galactica series are particularly cool. Which would be your choice? And is it one that you can just go out and buy, or one that you have to assemble or create for yourself?<\/p>\n
