Just a quick post to say that this years catalogue is available...but not in
stores as yet due to shipping delay [1].

Important info:

Number: 427.7346-AUS   [That's right...It's an AUSTRALIAN catalogue (and N.Z. from the look of the back cover) and not a UK/AUS one.]

AUS might be be AUSTRALASIA...

Cover: Blue with picture of new town crane (which is on the way, but hasn't got
to Australia quite yet...) and small boxed pictures on left of (from top)
bionicle, technic motorbike, duplo aircraft, minifig castle set.

Availability of sets: Note on back cover in small print states that "Some items
shown in this catalogue are available only via LEGO.com". Additionally, some
sets state "while stocks last" in their descriptions.


Is 'while stocks last' a first for a LEGO catalogue?

No DINO sets listed or shown :(

:( indeed.

And what everyone has been waiting for...
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1156445

Of course it says "FALL" (which I would think from my minor understanding of the
"seppo" language means autumn) implying that they are advertised for the next
couple of months (after all it IS an AUSTRALIAN catalogue, even if they didn't
print it in english...) but probably means spring.

Of course this last point is probably just LEGO showing us that they only really
care about North America...

[1] If you're interested in the catalogue, a call to the hard working people in
LEGO Australia (1800 683 100) on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 9:00 and
4:30 Sydney time (from memory) should get an answer...just ask about the
catalogue and if they can send you a copy.

We must be due for a world club magazine soon. They usually include a cattledog
in the autumn (fall?spring?) mailout.

Don't forget to hide the treasure and the womenfolk(1)!

(...) Oh yes...the world club magazines were going to be about 3-4 weeks late from what I gathered...still to find out why the last one was almost entirely copied from a "seppo" one. I hope this one isn't :) Benjamin Whytcross (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.loc.au)
