Well, good on you for keeping them so well. Don't have anything from when I was younger. I had all the A-Team toys too. But nothing's left.

Do you remember how you signed up? Did you have to fill out something on the back of a cereal box, a magazine, a comic? Was it advertised on tv and you sent a letter? How did you join the fan club back then? Did you have to pay money to join? How much?

I found an advertisement for the fan club in "Boy's Life" magazine in early 1984. You had to send in an entry form and pay $9.95 to join. The big draw to join was that all members were entered in a sweepstakes, and several winners of the drawing would get to go to Hollywood (with airfare and accommodations all paid for!) and meet the cast of The A-Team on the set!

I vaguely remember it being advertised in the Look-in magazine in the U.K. You did have to pay but I can't remember how much. I still have some of my old mags from then so if I find it I'll post the details

Would they fly you all the way from the UK to Hollywood if you won a sweepstakes??

Okay, you made me laugh out loud, peppardfan! You know one thing I love about TAT? I love how it sort of unites us fans from around the world. And I don't know that I realized there were fans around the world back in the day when the show was on, but I love "meeting" fans from around the world through this forum.

wow, Love all the images regarding this fan club pack along with the newsletters,
unfortunately when I try to open any of the images to view them better I get an error, is this because they have been archived or something?
I would love to share them all to my fan page on facebook if its possible to get at them all.
