Sorry Val, but I wasn't about to sit back and take his comment about me being some "scared fan" lightly. It was uncalled for and a response by me was deserving. No need for that sort of stuff.
'Nuff said. Now on to bigger and better things.

I don't agree at all, just to let everyone know.
You can take it to PMs, if you really, really feel you need to defend yourself over a statement made on a message board.
I think we've said all there is to say on this subject.

Hey, different strokes for different folks.
Anyway, I sent an e-mail to Hyperspace customer service last week about the new FC subscription process. I asked if they could let me know exactly when my current subscription was set to expire (I have been using the auto-renewal option since I became a member). I wanted to know if they were going to send out e-mails to current members notifying them that they would have to manually re-subscribe to Hyperspace once their current membership lapses.
The responded back to me stating they have not yet decided on how (or if) they would do that. I think they just might leave it up to fans to re-new their FC membership on their own once the change-over takes place and Insider magazine becomes a separate item to order thru Titan Publishing.
Just wanted to pass that along...

I actually like Hyperspace and the Fan Club magazine. I don't think it's a waste at all.

When my 1st 3 or 4 books came damaged, they were actually quite helpful over the phone by extending my subscription by that many issues. That's the only real problem I've had with the people behind the magazine. I've just been tempted to pick it up in the stores (think my comic shop carries it) instead of subscribing. Maybe it's not their fault and it's my post office to blame. Not sure. I live in the sticks so who knows what they do with my magazines. =)

Hey Justin, you said you have two memberships..that you save one? Have you ever found they go up in value? I'm just curious because I saw a collection of Insider mags on Ebay awhile back, all in mint condition and they went for a LOT of money. I know with Comic books there are price guides and what not. Wasn't sure how it works with magainzes. Apparently there is a value to em...just wasn't sure how you determined what that value was.

GJ, yes my wife and I both have our own FC membership so we can read one issue of Insider and store the other copy in archival-safe poly bags. We've never really checked to see what the secondary market value of any of our saved issues. As with all of our SW items in our colelction, we don't place a monetary value on any of our pieces. We collect SW merchandise for the pure fun & excitemt of doing so - not for retaining them for a long period of time and then selling them on the secondary market.
But to answer your question, I'm not sure how we could assign a value to our mint saved Insider issues even if we were to sell them on eBay. Remember, how much something is "worth" will only be as high as somebody is willing to pay for it. I guess a few issues, such as the one given out exclusively at Best Buy during the OT DVD release back in 2004 (which we own) could be worth something down the road. And maybe the six collector issues that are currently commemorating the 30th anniversary might also increase in value as well years from now.

That's cool. I just never associated any kind of collectibility to them until you mentioned it and then I saw that collection on Ebay. If I recall correctly, it was like like $300 or something close to that. Not sure how many issues that was.

If I can jump in here with a related question: when you pay for a Hyperspace membership online via credit card, should you get some email confirmation back from them, perhaps with something that lets you into the Hyperspace portion of the website?
The reason I'm asking is because I did this last Monday 1/29/07 and haven't gotten anything from them so far. But perhaps this is normal and everything is sent via postal mail?

GJ, what we really like to collect (as far as magazines/publications are concerned) are the official program guides from all of the Star Wars Celebrations. We unfortunately did not have the chance to attend C1 or C2. However, I was able to obtain (thru eBay) a mint condition copy of the official C1 and C2 program guides to go along with our mint condition C3 program guide (and our future C4 guide as well).
If/when there is a C5 and a C6, we obviously will add those official program guides to our collection to form a complete set of C1 thru C6 guides. We consider that to be a really cool magazine collection to own in addition to our Insider magazines.

You're supposed to get the code number that you enter on the Hyperspace webpage that lets you into the site. You'll have to email them and see what's up.

I'm not much of a collector myself. I got the subscription mostly for the extra days into the con. I like the book though, just not how it was handled and I question it being worth $40. But anyway, I'm not a big collector. I like unique pieces, and I'm a big fan of posters. I have a lot of really nice posters. It's hard to collect those though because you can only hang so many.
