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.


For us in North America it would be “Not available in any store” and “Quantities limited - order now”, respectively. Just a trivia.

I, for myself, is waiting for the big Technic crane. Can you scan that page for us?

   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.

Winter in Australia would be June. So Spring would be around September... Just about right. :P

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

No not really. They care more about Germany... Check out this thread: http://news.lugnet.com/dear-lego/?n=5243

   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.

Do you still have to pay for those? When I travelled to Adelaide back in 1994 I remember having to BUY the catalog for 50 cents AUD. I still have that catalog with me!

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 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.loc.au)
