I sure would like to know what the articles says, particularly the "good"
(Fabuland!)parts. Also, I interested in any other information about this
publication that is available.  The only thread I have seen about it is
http://news.lugnet.com/loc/nl/?n=458
and beyond me.

This was a paper that the local Dutch Lego office issued as a marketing
instument. You could get them for free in the toy shops. A translated quote
from the tread on local.nederland:

Aaahh! Nostalgia! Always whining to the shop's staff "Has the new LEGO paper
arrived yet"

The first edition was pubished februari 15th 1976, it came out 4 times a year
and existed for about 15 years. The nature of the content was mainly:

1. introduction of new sets and themes
2. 'advetorial' stuff aimed at parents
    (such as the "list of criteria", elsewhere in this tread)
3. entertaining (bed-time) stories aimed at young childred.
    (the large Fabuland article is an example of this, with the appropriate
    reading-level, so if you want to learn Dutch, to be able to read the paper,
    start there :-) By the way, I'm not planning to translate it. It's so
    sweet my teeth would hurt)
4. Lego trivia
5. somtimes a puzzle or competition

Greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

While bumbling around recent additions to Kevin Loch's Brickshelf, I saw a real treasure added by Frank Buiting. While I haven't a clue as to what the text says the drawings are delightful and can be appreciated by all. (URL) I sure would like to (...)
