Does anyone know where you can purchase or subscribe to the OFFicial Star Trek Fact files?????

I keep on seeing instances where you can buy them in England or Australia, but how about right here in the US?

Thanx

As far as I know, you can't get them in the States. However, Star Trek: The Magazine is our monthly equivalent to the FF, but in several cases, there is information in one source that isn't in the other, & vice versa. If you're interested in specific text or pics from the FF, there are several good websites that have them (not to mention several people at this board who those sites belong to).

Actually I would really love to swap FF information for scans from the Magazine - especially since the Fact Files does NOT contain production articles!
Any takers?

With well over 200 issues of the Fact Files now, I can't say whether or not I can help on any given topic (and I won't be able to get info to people very early, since the magazines are at home and I'm at university) but please ask if you have any requests and would like to swap

Starbuck: do you live in England? Here in Germany we are up to issue 150 of the Fact Files, so you are well ahead.
Could you tell me, is there information about the Norway class in one of the more recent issues (150 to ~200)?

Gr��e aus Dortmund nach MR.Powers!

Well, i heard there are diagrams of the Enterprise-C and Equinox bridges in one of the later issues!
Currently Germany is at issue 151 if i'm not mistaken...
but i think issue number is not really relevant,because they are mixing up the german issues out of the english ones.
If anyone has the scans of these bridges could someone post them.... please?

I was a good boy and behaved well this year, mum!

Nothing on the Norway-class yet.

Bridge scans... a lot of our Forumites post them, I believe, but try checking out Ex Astris Scientia ( http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org ) - Bernd cleans them up for posting

Might I suggest that cornucopia of riches: eBay? Whole sets of Fact Files have been auctioned in the past month. Some were asking a reasonable but still pricey $200 for 200 issues, but one lucky soul got a batch of 164 issues for $20 plus shipping across the pond. Even if it's $50 for shipping that much, it's still a good deal compared to �2 per issue (roughly $3 US). And it's a steal compared to the highway robbery of $8 an issue for Star Trek-The Magazine. Then again, both frequently suffer from really embarrassing and egregious errors.
