Yes most sets now days do come with a free application. There was a time
however when they only came in larger sets. Smaller sets had applications that
you could send in with payment or a certain number of "collector points" or
something like that from the corner of the set's instructions. I remember
when I was a kid, probably early to mid-eighties, the only way you could join
was to pay, but they sent you a small set on your birthday!
I think the magazine is pretty good for their <12 year old target audience.
My little sister (11) sent in a picture of a Mos Eisley Cantina scene from
Star Wars (which they didn't print). She enjoys entering their contests.
I look forward to the coupons in the Christmas issue, and I enjoy reading the
bios they sometimes have on the minifig characters. I've been thinking of
creating a whos who of minifigs page to put on my website.
