eg any Membership pack for new members, hard copy magazines etc as it was in the past ?
 
The magazine is digital now. You can buy a copy though.

The only perks are fanclub presale, FTTB and eh... access to the forum?
 
It's okay because I buy a lot of their merch stuff, especially Tshirts, so the 10% pays off. The magazine (now online) is okay but nothing of big interest for me pesonally. And access to the FTTB lottery is always good.
 
I was a member for 24 years (from 1999 to earlier this year) and I think that what the Fan Club currently offers is not worth the membership fee. A shame. :(

I tend to agree with this. I've been an off-and-on member for 13 or so years, and I enjoyed presale tickets and collecting the magazines. But with the magazines going to digital, it's kind of a wash. You'll end up paying as much for the membership as you'd get back in discounts. Unless you buy a LOT of shit from the Maiden stores.

I've said this before, but if they had an online archive you could access and go back and read every single fanclub magazine, I'd rejoin just for that. That would be awesome and its certainly something that is within their reach I'd think.
