I too picked up one of these catalogs at TRU, since it had a coupon in it
that asaved me money :)
They are listed as Summer/Fall 1999 on the front. It has info on Legoland
California, has the standard line of toys with suggested retail (does not
seem to included shop at home stuff, and the prices don't seem inflated),
and has their software listed.
The back has a spot for a "Store" address and a "To" address, and bulk rate
postage paid by "Lego Consumer Affairs".
My GUESS would be that these were promotional catalogs send out by TLG in
conjuction with participating stores. As in, "Mom & Pop Toys" wants to do
some promotion, so they pay TLG a set price to mail one of these catalogs to
everyone on the toy stores customer list. It's a good way for smaller toy
stores to get exposure, and costs less then producing their own full color
flyer. I note again that this is just MY GUESS.
Since it is now November, i'd say TLG has got thier winter/spring catalogs
in now, and are dumping these on whoever will take them.

| While at Toys R Us this past weekend (in Novi, MI) I was given a mysterious Lego catalog by a very nice cashier. In fact, she even cut the coupon out of the back of the catalog for me, so that I could get $2 off of my purchase 8448. The catalog is (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
