| | Catalog Format question
|
|
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)

|

Here's what I've been able to glean, and my thoughts... STAR WARS Looks great! Based on the catalog pics, it looks like the X-wing will have movable wings. Same with the snowspeeder - if you look closely at the catalog scan, you can see where it (...) (26 years ago, 7-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
