Don't most new sets include applications? What always strikes me as
funny is that they chrge $7 for additional memberships on the same
application. Who would pay $7 for the crummy advertizing brochure
otherwise known as Mania Magazine? (I get three copies now--I don't know
how or why. Two are addressed to me, one to Katelyn Lamprecht. I wonder
who ordered that one? There's no one in my family named Katelyn...)

Yes most sets now days do come with a free application. There was a time
however when they only came in larger sets. Smaller sets had applications that
you could send in with payment or a certain number of "collector points" or
something like that from the corner of the set's instructions. I remember
when I was a kid, probably early to mid-eighties, the only way you could join
was to pay, but they sent you a small set on your birthday!
I think the magazine is pretty good for their <12 year old target audience.
My little sister (11) sent in a picture of a Mos Eisley Cantina scene from
Star Wars (which they didn't print). She enjoys entering their contests.
I look forward to the coupons in the Christmas issue, and I enjoy reading the
bios they sometimes have on the minifig characters. I've been thinking of
creating a whos who of minifigs page to put on my website.

Sometimes we sign people up without their knowing. It's evil I know...
Of course it's family and friends and they all get read... heh heh.
What else do you do with 100's of the things...
Also, as a strange note, I know of the little forms you can get in the boxes.
That allow you to tell LEGO what you have and what you like etc. My friends
who only buy a few sets get them but my wife and I who have bought over 200
sets have never seen one...

Yeah, I've probably bought 500+ sets in the last 2 years, and have never gotten a
survey card :-/

Weird, as I opened my Dino sets last couple days, there was a survey card in
#5955, AND in
#5987. It says I'll get a free gift if I reply. Woo Hoo!
As an aside I have probably bought 100 to 150 sets and not seen one in the
past.

I bought a bunch of Freestyle polybags and maybe one in four had a
survey card. Too bad the cards had expired. You can see the card in the
bag through the clear panel, so if you really want one it's something to
look for.
