--Todd

To clarify things, whilst someone did post a link that went directly to a
picture of an unreleased set, for me at least ALL the sets new were, and still
are on some ISP's(!):-

A. all the new sections can be linked to from appropriate links on the catalog
front page, i.e. there is a button for Knights Kingdom, Lego Baby, etc
B. all the new sets in old and new sections are clearly listed in the drop
down menus

So whilst there may be a way to 'nose around' with that URL, I and others,
judging from the posts could see all the new stuff in the standard catalog
with working links

So, for what may have been a short period, and what may have been a mistake,
it was, and still is in some places, clearly in public view on their public
website without anyone having to be devious

lawrence
