Hi folks....

I'm Victoria, 29, Science teacher (11-18), live in Solihull, England. Love attending cons especially Memorabilia and Collectormania. Likes Buffy, Angel, Spike, Supernatural, Smallville. Favourite superhero is a tie between Superman and Spider-man (and Batman is a close third), favourite game are the Tomb Raider games. I think Jensen Ackles is the best thing since sliced bread. Love reading, and my favourite author is Graham Masterton.

Anything you want to know, feel free to ask.

Hey Lior!

Few General questions...

What's your favorite part of BtVSFigs?

Narrowing down one favourite part is difficult. The whole site is pretty cool. I suppose what drew me were the figure release thread, what was coming, when, how much etc.

What's your least favorite part of BtVSFigs?

Don't think I have one. I have parts I don't frequent too often, but that isn't because I don't like them, it is due to time constraints on my part.

What are some things you'd like to see improve on the forum?

More contact from DST etc. But since that is beyond our control really, not a lot anyone can do.

What are some new things you'd like to see that the forum hasn't had yet?

Um, of the top of my head, nothing so far.

And few Personal questions...

Share with us 1 embarrassing moment from your life?

Honestly, don't think I have had a major one. Need to ponder that one and come back to it.

As far as Cons go, which was the most memorable so far and why?

I have many favourite ones for different reasons. The Memorabilia one in November as Doug Jones was just so fantastic, and this one this weekend was good at Milton Keynes because of the guests. You cannot specifically nail them down to one guest. That is not helpful is it.

From all of the actors and actresses you've met so far who was the nicest? And who didn't live up for you expectation?

Again, I cannot narrow guests down to who was the best as many were as equally good as each other for different reasons. Almost all of the actors I have met are genuinely nice people and recognise that without the fans they would be in a regular job.

I have ever only had two disappointments. 1) Eliza Dushku arrived over 2 hours late and was hungover, she sat at her table the entire time with her boobs dropping out of her top and was mean. No smiles, no small talk, no niceties, nothing. The overbearing impression to her fans was that the whole thing was beneath her and she had better things to do. 2) David Carradine was the second. He again arrived late, didn't have eye contact or acknowledge your existence, I was later told by con staff he was drunk/stoned and he only wanted to sit and smoke his cigars. He made the con difficult for the con staff too.

Knowing you have such a huge collection of trading cards - is there any particular card you are missing and wish to have?

I am only missing 2 cards from the whole Buffy and Angel series: Charisma's Buffy season 3 auto and Julie Benz and Juliet Landau's dual Angel autograph.

And Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider autos would be a hoot to own.

Thanks Lior.

Hey madvicks!

Hey!

1. What's the origin of your name madvicks?

I am not too keen on Vicki and my family call me Tor, Vicks just seemed like a better shortening of Victoria. And the mad comes from me being as nutty as a fruit cake!

2. Where do you get your cards? Have you had much luck with dealers at cons or on eBay? What other collections besides Supernatural and Buffy / Angel do you have?

Mainly eBay. Some from cons but not many. Also have bought 2 cases in my life and the odd few boxes.

I also have some Tomb raider cards. Bases, chases, PWs no autos though.

3. Do you keep them in binders? What do you do with spares?

Yep, in binders. The spares I have in an old case box and I try and eBay them occasionally, or offer them in trades. But as I don't buy many boxes, mainly the individual cards, I don't get an abundance of spares.

4. Any plans this weekend? Is mother's day big in the UK?

Our Mother's Day is in March, it is only the US one in May, but yep, the March one is pretty big.

I am going to my first convention (proper one), Asylum a Supernatural con by Rogue Events.

5. What are some concerts that you've been to?

Never been to a single one.

6. What are some things you've seen recently on youtube?

I only go to YouTube when I need clips for my lessons at school, so Displacement Reactions, and the start of Armageddon and some Armageddon and Deep Impact clips.

7. Have you been to many places in the rest of Europe?

France on a 4 day visit, and that is it.

8. Some of your favorite beverages?

Don't imbibe alcohol. So, cherry Coke, Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew. I love Mountain Dew and we cannot get it over here apart from an US import store and it costs £16 for 12 cans.

Thanks for the questions! ;D

[Deleted]

Why cards? What will you do when you snag those last two BtVS/AtS cards? If someone were to offer you an obscene amount of money, would you sell them? Or are you taking them to your grave?

If you could travel anywhere in the world for a month, a week, a day, where would you go, what would you do? Or would you choose to stay home and catch up on sleep?

What would be a perfect day?

Barry Manilow? Um, ... really?

[madvicks]

Hey! ;D

Why cards?

Prophecygirl started it all, I lay the blame at her door, I never wanted to get into cards and she got me started with a few part sets. So I thought I'd complete the part sets, and then may as well get all the Buffy ones, and then such a shame to have Buffy and not Angel and it goes on.

What will you do when you snag those last two BtVS/AtS cards?

Throw a party (I jest) and then probably wait a few months and start selling off my cards.

If someone were to offer you an obscene amount of money, would you sell them? Or are you taking them to your grave?

Oooh, it depends on how much money. But my Buffy stake card will be from my cold dead hands.

If you could travel anywhere in the world for a month, a week, a day, where would you go, what would you do? Or would you choose to stay home and catch up on sleep?

A day, stay at home and catch up on domestic stuff as I have had no chance recently. A week, may be Greece or Spain or Israel, somewhere warm and new. A month, touring the US and Canada as that is my dream.

What would be a perfect day?

Waking up and finding out the Headmaster of my school had disappeared off the face of the planet and taken a few key horrid people with him, the government getting a grip and making it easier for the regular, working, average Joe, that I had won a small amount but significant amount of money so Mom and Dad are secure for their retirement and having the time to sit and read a good book with no though of school reports or planning for lessons to do.

Barry Manilow? Um, ... really?

A resounding yes! Mom is 62, dad 65, I have been brainwashed with music from the 50/60/70s since I was little and Barry has made a few darn good songs. Many, Bermuda Triangle, Copacabana
to name 3.

Thanks for the questions.
