|

Maybe I missed information about this -- are pages 9 through 12 (the LEGO Mania 1999) a foldout centerfold spread? It appears that pages 6 through 8 and 13 through 15 are each three-page spreads, which would be consistent with a double-foldout (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I didn't see any firing cannons in the the catalog scans. Oh, well. Even if they are there, I'll bet it's just an artifact of the pictures being taken in Europe, and Enfield not bothering to redo them to leave out the non-NA elements. It would (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
