The Super Fantastic Veggie Fan Club was a magazine and fan club Big Idea ran from late 2001 through 2003. It replaced What's The Big Idea?. You could join by either getting a slip that came with the video you purchased, or on Big Idea's official website. It ended around 2003, just when the company was about to move from Lombard to Franklin.
Details
On the flyer in some videos, the yearly membership cost $19.95. According to the commercial, fans would access exclusive things, including a pick of their favorite VeggieTales show on videocasette, a member certificate, toys, and a Big Idea monthly newsletter from the company.

- Originally, the first two versions of this promo had an insert at the end, and Bob says "Be sure to see the insert that came with this video, or go to BigIdea.com for more information!". Later videos would cut out that part and go straight to the fan club's logo.
- An instrumental version of the song, "Look Olaf" (from the story of "Lyle, the Kindly Viking") was heard during the promo.
- Two years after it ended, a Brazilian version called Clubinho dos Vegetais ran until 2007.
