ALF Newsletter 1996

Post by ALFsince86 »

Does anyone remember the ALF newsletter that came about in 1996 (for the tenth anniversary)? Did anyone here have a part in that or own a copy? Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a couple (can't find it).

I think it was called ALF Times, not sure. I realize the original fan club letter was called Extraterrestrial Times, I'm not talking about that.

ALFsince86,

I believe the newsletter you are seeking was titled "ALFMEISTERS", which was published/distributed by the "ALFMEISTERS FAN CLUB" in 1995, 1996, and 1997. Both the fan club and the newsletter were short-lived, and just seemed to to disappear without any prior announcement. My personal experience with "ALFMEISTERS" ended in Dec., 1997 when my check for membership renewal was uncashed/unreturned, and all subsequent attempts to establish written communication went unanswered.

There were only four issues of "ALFMEISTERS" newsletter which I received as a member of the Fan Club, and still have to this day in my ALF collection. The release information for the four issues of "ALFMEISTERS" is as follows:

VOL. 1 NO. 1 - PREMIER EDITION - MAR., 1995
VOL. 1 NO. 2 - FEB., 1996
VOL. 2 NO. 1 - OCT., 1996
VOL. 2 NO. 2 - OCT., 1997

Finding any, let alone all. of the four issues of "ALFMEISTERS" might prove most difficult, for I cannot recall ever seeing any of the issues available for sale/trade in any media.

Good Luck,

Mike

Thanks for your reply. I didn't realize there were so many issues (I know you only listed four, but I thought there might only be one). You are talking exactly about what I was thinking of. I wish I had held onto my copy better.
