I've just received my first US catalogue as a result of swapping
with my UK ones - and I can't believe how different they are.
Sure, the sets are mostly the same, and a lot of the pictures are
pretty similar but the design's completely different apart from that.
The US/Canada one is a lot smaller and
has hardly any text, whereas in the UK we get set names
and write-ups about each set. Plus we often get descriptions of who
the various minifigs are (lots of them have names)
and what they are doing (though not as much this
year as last year) - there doesn't seem to be any of that in the US/Canada
one.
Where do all the US set names that people use to refer to sets on the
Internet come from, since there aren't any names in the catalogue?
