showed me the 1999 NZ catalogue which includes two pages at the back for
Mindstorms so it seems its an official Lego policy not just Toyworld.

Toyworld Takapuna?  Love that name.  :-)

Also of interest in the catalogue the Throwbots are called Slizers
apparently because "The Slizers home planet is divided up into 8 different
Slices"  I didn't read the full blurb but I thought some of you people who
are big on nitpicking might find this interesting.

8 different slices?  That is so lame it's funny.  Bring on the bad pizza jokes!
