Today I was talking to the Lego rep. in Brisbane, Australia (who was
very friendly) and I told him that I'd seen three of the catalogues for
2001. He said that he'd only seen the range a fortnight ago (around when
we did) and mentioned some of the new stuff.

What we haven't seen so far:
Harry Potter Lego (we all know it's coming though)
Bob the Builder Lego
New soccer set's (I'm not sure if these are in the catalogue's that are
out now)

and...

A remote controlled F14-Tomcat retailing for about $1200AUD(maybe USD)
(although we won't see it in Aus).

Just thought I'd pass that on to the LUGNET community.

(...) Just the thing to terrorise the neighbourhood...I might have preferred a VTOL aircraft, but it looks like most of the backyard will be taken up by runway. Will they use Rock Raiders lasers for weapons delivery. Will the set include a Belville (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
