Some of the fun went away during the bad years (around 1999) when themes as we
knew them submerged, and now there are so many other "leaks" and special treats
on the web that the catalog is not so new when it surfaces. Yeah, I miss that
too, and I also fondly remember the times when even the little insert sheet
would be the herald of an entirely new line like Ninja "in Summer 1998!"
I'm sure there are fans being made right now who will miss the good old days of
2003 later.
But, where is that catalog?
