   Yep!  Several of my favorite kits ever were in that catalog.  I have all
of those Space and Castle sets, and quite a few of the Town sets, too.
Classic Space is my favorite of all Space subthemes - so that was one of the
best Lego years, for me.  Classic Castle was great, too, but I wish there
had been more than three sets before the grey castles came out.  I have a
1990 catalog which shows a lot of the greats from late 80s, too, and its
another great catalog (first year of Pirates, lots of good Castles and
Town... and Blacktron!).

   You know thats pretty weird.  I have seen the trademark before in other
literature, but I wonder why its only by Mini-figures once instead of by
every occurence in the catalog?

   Thanks, I did that while watching a movie.  I think it came out pretty
good.  If you have two monitors, its really cool, because the window pops up
on the other monitor!  Try it!
