Hopefully you're right. I had wondered whether it might be that Belville
just wasn't being given space in this catalog but would show up in the
Spring one. Just to let you know though, Trains had a full 6 pages and
Technic had 4 (with another 4 for Bionicle).

I agree with you about the last few Belville sets. I didn't bother to
purchase any of those sets. I was tempted by the Enchanted Garden set
(5834) because it does have some good pieces (trans-blue four-sided roof
peak piece for one) but am put off by the plastic mat and the fact that I
wish the baseplate-like piece was more compatible in coloring with the one
from the Enchanted Palace set.
Guess we'll have to see what happens. Thanks for trying to instill some
hope Steve.
