Although LEGO Review is primarily an inhouse publication, it is obviously
also targeted to bussiness relations, job candidates, guests and others
seriously interested in the company. Hence, the contents are always in a
positive, motivating tone. You won't find *really* internal stuff here (no
dirty laundry or sneak previews). Reprinting is even allowed without prior
consent (if i remember correctly). That said, it gives a very interesting
(but polished) look into the processes, events and issues inside TLG.
So maybe it could be published on lugnet?

(I don't have a subscription on Review but have obtained a few issues on a
LEGO collectors fair.

Scans of the Shell Promotion article that featured in LEGO REVIEW - July • 1999
are now available at the direct link http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~jsds

The article covers the following issues amongst others.

- The lack of penetration in the US market.
- The 1998 football sets.
- The importance of the Dutch market.
- Disappointing test sales.
- Future expectations.
- New products for autumn 1999.

Sanjay,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't LEGO REVIEW an *internal* publication?
Printed by TLG for TLG eyes only?  If so, I wonder how comfortable TLG is
about a fan on the net disclosing private/internal TLG documents?

(Not that I don't find it interesting, but I worry that it makes us as a
group of fans online look more rogue to TLG than we really are.  Maybe the
info is old and they don't mind, or maybe you got permission from someone • at
TLG, I dunno.  Just something to think about.  If you did get permission, • it
might be a good idea to state that!  :-)
