Title: How do I get the Animorphs Alliance material?
Post by: YeerkSalad on July 04, 2015, 10:20:21 PM

I am a crazy person. I recently found out about the Animorphs Alliance club-thing that used to exist. How can I acquire the merchandise from it?

I feel your craziness mannnn, I want all that stuff too :crazy:. I've hunted on Amazon and Ebay and racked the selves of my used bookstore. This only bit of random merchandise I've was the board game.

Probably should have chosen a different acronym. This is not Alcoholics Anonymous stuff. I've seen similarly bad acronyms, like... I'll save you your sanity, but trust me. These are nasteh. (Yes, nasteh.)

Would it be possible to end one's alcohol addiction by morphing and demorphing?

No. That's a mental thing. The only way you can fix your problem is if start the program like Quaf.

Overeating IS a real world problem.  I related it to Animorphs by talking about Andalites who morph human and can't resist eating everything in sight!

Title: Re: How do I get the Animorphs Alliance material?

Still no. You will still have your mind in this new morph. And your mind is alcoholic.

Real world, as in the world we live in. We live do not live in the world of animorphs. Therefor this andalite problem is a nonissue.

Also, I said this before, don't double post.

Post by: YeerkSalad on July 07, 2015, 12:17:16 PM

A conversation about hunting down old, no-longer-produced merchandise turns into a conversation about addiction. This escalates into a discussion of a theoretical world with a potential cure for alcoholism.

I love this forum.

I had hoped that the morphing and demorphing process would heal whatever makes people vulnerable to alcohol addiction.

Morphing and demorphing should heal the physical damage caused by alcohol abuse.

Physical damage, yes. Mental damage, not so much.

Still no. You will still have your mind in this new morph. And your mind is alcoholic.

If an alcoholic morphs a non-alcoholic, it would have both an alcoholic mind and a non-alcoholic mind.  I was hoping that the non-alcoholic mind would help the alcoholic mind resist alcohol.

That's not how that works. Like not at all. In morphing you get the instincts. Nonalcoholic isn't an instinct. Tim, I must also hold an intervention with you.

I got a reply on July 6th. Sorry about that. I forgot to tell you.

It says:
Hi YS,

Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately, Animorphs promotional material is no longer in production, and that includes the Alliance book club.

Ebay is really the only place I can think of, but if you're not having any luck there, then maybe look for websites that specialize in toys/collectables and try there.

(If you do end up finding such a site, then let me know. I'd love to get a hold of some of that stuff myself!)

Thanks,

Issam

slightly off topic but also a bit not. my dad once wrote a letter to scholastic complaining that it was becoming increasingly difficult to find the books in the UK and as some kind of sympathy prize they sent some bookmarks and large A2 sized poster of the megamorphs 1 cover. cant remember if i still have it at my parents house or if i chucked it out. hmm anyway, i also have one of the board games, the marco/rachel version i think. that one is still at my parents place hidingunder the bed collecting dust. lol.
