This reply will probably sound much more snotty than I intend it to, so my
most humble apologies in advance. I mean this as a serious commentary.

If they are new then, shouldn't they *definitely* be in the catalog? Isn't
that the whole reason companies print catalogs in the first place? To show
off their latest greatest products?
This catalog is full-color printing on glossy paper. They are very
expensive to print and distribute. Why not make the most of it? Plan
ahead. Use every inch of the page. Put every single new product you have
into it. If the products weren't ready in time for the catalog, then why not?

I haven't seen either set of dinosaurs in stores around here, which also
lead to my confusion about which ones Frank was commenting on.
