I'm a minifig nut... I'll admit it. I collect them like action figures. I've thought TLG aims for my kind to a certain degree. Let's examine the facts: 1)When I got my last S@H catalogue, they advertized an Insectoid set (2965) that pushed the fact (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-98, to lugnet.announce)

| | New 1999 Catalog Anyone?
|
|
Hasn't anyone found a new 1999 LEGO catalog in any of their purchases? I'm surprised, as Irving found his here on the West side of the States, and no one on the East, or MidWest. Post to Lugnet if found!!! We're all itching here!! :-) jeremy (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.announce)
