Kevin,
Your suggestion made me think a little more, and upon further discussion,
it is beginning to appear that you are right! From the latest
conversations, we have concluded that it is very possible that these models
were available from TLG for displays. Not only that, but Gary Istok has one
of the buildings that was used as a display which is pictured in this
brochure (and later in some idea books). So, our latest guess is that the
brochure was mailed to stores, and stores could buy these (prebuilt) models
for displays in their stores. My first guess that this was a consumer
catalog seems to be wrong, but not too far off, either. I guess this does
not belong in this newsgroup anymore, but I am not sure where it should go.

Have fun!
