The Official Star Wars Fan Club

[T-bone]

I just felt like starting up a thread for all things Fan Club related.

Njoy.

[Jjm3233]

Since I haven't seen another thread discussing it . . .

I kind of like the idea of rolling Hyperspace, the Fan Club and the mag in an all in one Fan Club. Simplifies the billing process at least.

There ya go.

Thank you Jjm and T! I read something really vague about the Fan club and Hyperspace on another board; the yokel didn't provide a link and I had absolutely no clue what it was about. I never go to the OS, so maybe that's my problem style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

Rolling them both into one? Makes sense, I guess, but ya think they would have thought of this sooner? It's only going to last 1 more year, then there's no more reason for Hyperspace.




Actually, there'll be no more reason for the Fan Club either.

That's what folks said in 1982....

No problem.

However, I agree with Katsu, we shouldn't write off Star Wars after 2005 - especially if the rumored TV series gets off the ground.

Anyone Get New Insider Yet ?

[Luvinna]

I haven't, but I'm not entirely sure I will be getting it. My subscription is up and I'm not sure if #76 was on the old subscription or not. I just renewed through the new Hyperspace fan club, so hopefully I won't miss #77. Only time will tell.

But if I'm not the only person who hasn't gotten #76 yet, maybe it's just coming late this time. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[Dark Helmet]

???????????

[general grievous]

no what is taking them
this is like the third issue ive had trouble getting

[Luvinna]

I just got my coupon code to renew my Hyperspace membership. Previously, my account said this:

You are currently a Hyperspace member. Your current subscription will end June 12, 2004.


Now it says this:

You are currently a Hyperspace member. Your current subscription will end March 27, 2278.


Methinks something has gone wrong. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[goodwije]

hey now that is a deal 274 years for $19.95 style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[Darth_Oracle]

no and i am quite annoyed about it! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif

[Tane Kyja]

No I didn't get it yet...I think I'm going to see if I can get it in the store. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Aurra Sing]

Hey I used to be a member..but then ....my money has gone bye bye and I haven't had the time to renew when I actually have money. I know I could use the money for something else more useful for living...like...food.

[P-Ray]

I don't know where this was moved to, but I still haven't gotten my new Insider yet.

Has anyone else? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/giveup.gif

[Luvinna]

Not me. But Darthy posted some pics from it in the Spoilers forum, so someone must have got it by now. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

There's always today's mail. *crosses fingers*

[StarWarsFan1]

Well I was looking aroudn on the internet for the insider website, to find a email or address I can have, because I was shorted on two issues I just got issue 76 today but never got 75 and 74. I couldn't find anything to write them or email. Does any one know where I can find an email or address to write to them so i can get my two issues that I never got. Thanks for all the help my fellow senaters.

[StarWarsFan1]

Thank you very much.

[Ripley the Warmaster]

I just read that Insider subscription is now only for Hyperspace members. Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. Anyone agree or disagree?

[goodwije]

actually i think (and could be wrong) that when you join the fanclub you get the insider and hyperspace membership. so it is a fanclub thing not a hyperspace thing

[Luvinna]

Merging w/ the Official Fan Club Thread. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Silmarillion]

Does anyone outside North America have the fan club thing? It kind of seems pointless...

[bluemilk]

well I finally went and renewed my hyperspace to include Insider.. I better get my free swag!

[Gazelle]

As a Brit, for the first time ever I was able to get my hands on an Insider magazine which it seems can only be obtained in the UK through the Borders bookshop.

Having waited a number of years to see one "in the flesh" as it were, may I say how disappointed I was with the content of the magazine.

Sorry.

[Sluggo]

The insider is just crummy. Has been for the past few years. Hyperspace is the shnizzle diggity bomb. Sorry. It sucks that now I have to pay close to 40 bones to get the same service that cost much less last year. BUt as a bonus, I get 6 issues of a magazine I don't want. Maybe it'll be better if it stays at the fan club. Each of its previous changes in publishers marked a visible difference in quality and content.

I totally wanted Hyperspace only and I am a little mad I had to do both. Still, Hyperspace has been a fine purchase.

[Gazelle]

Yeah, as a Brit having seen Insider I think I am happy to remain an Outsider.

[star_shooter]

I signed up to Hyperspace when it first came out, and now it has expired. I want to sign back up again, but why do I need to pay 49.99 for the Insider aswell, when I already have a subscription to it.

Is there anyway to sign up for just the $20 like before?

[RustyMuffler]

Nope. If you want Insider, you either have to sign up for Hyperspace, or grab it off the news stand. WOO HOO!

[Luvinna]

Your Insider subscription will be extended for another year when you purchase your Hyperspace fan club membership.

[T-bone]

mergy mergy style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[Luvinna]

Yes, sir, Boss, sir. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wave.gif

[star_shooter]

what if i dont want that lol.
So theres no way to just get Hyperspace without Insider?

[Luvinna]

Not anymore. Be it a good thing or bad thing depends on your point of view. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/saber.gif

[general grievous]

can you still get insider without hyperspace?

[star_shooter]

i suppose its cool that its easier and all, and I'm gonna get it now but that's weired you cant just get that anymore. i'm sure a lot of people wont come back....ahh who am I kidding therye star wars fans...

[star_shooter]

So if I do sign up now and I already have Insider, it will just add more issues to my subscription?

[Luvinna]

That is correct. Or, that's how I understood it anyway...

This is from Paizo's website:

That would be a negative. They've combined the two so in order to get one, you have to get both. See the link I posted above.

[star_shooter]

Alright thanks a lot.

[Luminara Skye]

When I renewed last year it was right before Hyperspace started, so I wound up paying for the Insider and Hyperspace separately. That way was more expense. This year I renewed right before they made the changes so I only paid for Insider and I still have Hyperspace. I like that they have combined it, but they still should have the option of either/or for the people who don't want both.

I really enjoy Insider mainly for the fiction. By the time you get it most of the news is old. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif I'm only bummed that we get only 6 six issues again. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif Hyperspace is better, though.

[T-bone]

OK - I'm going to rename this thread and remove the part about the Insider. I'm going to make a new thread specifically for the all new SW Insider from IDG/Lucasfilm. Take all Insider discussion there now, thanks.
