This time however it was all planned and coordinated by Namco Bandai to celebrate the launch of the new Star Trek Online PC MMORPG game being released very soon. Roughly 100 people actually turned up for the record attempt so I doubt very much that they actually went into the Guinness records with that minor turn out, but it does show that us Brits will turn up to the opening of a cardboard box if we're invited to do it geekily!
The sad thing for me is that I actually recognised a few of the fans that turned up (especially the Jean Luc Picard guy who has been at a number of UK cons I've attended) and if you watch the video you'll also notice a certain little red head hottie who just so happens to be a popular UK glamour model, Radio 1 gaming advisor, Front magazine gaming columnist and a newly appointed columnist and blogger for Rising Star Games' Hoshi Club... Yep that's right the stunning and highly intellectual uber-geek 'Alex Sim-Wise' turned up of her own accord, every fanboys fantasy right there in one Dr. Crusher themed package! (even though she says she wanted to go as Dax, that's my kind of girl!)
Oh and the game looks cool too! Here's the trailer:
