That's funny. But I'd rather watch them than read about them. What do you think about this car?

That car is one of our avatars I think. ;D I would rather watch than read too. I prefer the way the episodes actually came out over the book version.

Lucky little prick. I should post some of my collection online...not that it compares, especially since I have not met either of them.

I concur, HD...lucky bastard. He's probably been collecting for a while, though, and I've only had the better part of a year.
The one that really makes me green is the last one. Do you know how happy I, Amy, or Mosame would be to be in that same spot? ;D
As for the books, I guess I'm in a minority here, because I think the written word can be as exciting as a visual depiction for TAT. Must be the fact that I'm a librarian, I guess...

I know. It even looks like they are standing by the van in the last picture.
Oh, I love books. However, I have always found that books based off of movies or TV shows after the fact suffer...much like a book made into a movie seems to suffer.

All? You mean he had more than just one pair? I don't think I ever liked a film based on the book I read. When I read I imagine how the characters look and then they seem completely different on the screen ;D As for the A-team, some stories are interesting but what makes me really love this show is the actors' talent and skills. So my imagination is not enough in that case

That's impressive. It even has the thermos. Those are rare.

You people make me feel like less of a fan because I just don't have this desire to collect all this stuff. But even if I collected all this stuff it would just end up at my folks' house I guess and I wouldn't be enjoying it for the most part anyway. I'll console myself with that thought and try not to feel like a bad fan. Plus my folks don't need one more thing of mine cluttering up their house.

It's fine if you are not a packrat. That doesn't mean you can't help us find and collect it. ;D

Oh, ah...*nervous laugh* I just got rid of a ton of my XENA stuff because it was cluttering up the house and I needed some extra cash. In all reality, this is the extent of my A-Team collection:
DVDs, those nifty coasters, a T-shirt, an 8 by 10 of Murdock, and...that's actually it! As I've gotten older I realize that some of the best things in life are free, and you can't have everything, because where would you put it? I have started a scrapbook of my favorite shots of the guys, though, and that doesn't cost a dime! ;D

I'm just saving all those photos you email me, mizhowlinmad, onto my computer. I basically carry a computer with me almost everywhere I go, so as long as I have some battery power I can enjoy those A Team photos anytime! And of course I have the DVDs. I may end up buying them again because I'm coming to the U.S. in November for about four months and I don't want to live without A Team for four months! But I also don't want to haul all my DVDs with me. I need to buy season two again anyway because I have too many problems with one of the DVDs from it.
