I just got back from Target at Camberwell [Melbourne] and they had the new
catalogue for this year :)

It's 76 pages, with lego webpages to go with set/theme info, and lots of
descriptions.

I'll try and scan it tonight, and post the images. [WARNING: text WILL be
hard to read, as it's smaller and lighter than that in the 60's catalogues,
so post a message if you'd like transcripts from a page(s).]

[What's happening...LA is based in Sydney, but Melbourne gets the lego
first?]

NOTE: on the cover there's a "Not all products listed are available". Cover
is blue with a mixture of sets 'exploding' out of a circle in the centre of
the page. Back cover is almost identical to 2000.1 catalogues.

Also if you buy a set for > $49, you can get a 1 year world club membership
free. All you need to do is enclose the receipt....looks like we could get
more world club members [come on, everyone here in Aus will buy at least one
set over $49 won't you?]

I'll post replies to any queries I get before 4 this arvo about what's
shown.

To start with: Roborider 8516 "THE BOSS" looks like a small winged technic
model with a motorbike [not roborider wheels either :) ] Orange, dark grey
and black [JULY release]

Technic tractor, F1 and 4WD also shown :)

Remember I'll do my best to answer queries posted in loc.au :)

(...) Some people have all the luck! (...) Well, at least they admit now. I wonder though if it means "not available now but will be later" or "not available ever, we just want you to be envious of what the rest of the world gets!" (...) Myer Hobart (...)

Hm, I doubt it is the same 2000.2 catalog that has been around in Germany for a month now. Ours also has this new cover with sets exploding from a circle or something. There are plenty of URLs given as well, even the release date of 8516 is excactly (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au, lugnet.general)
  Re: 2000.2 Catalogue now out :)
 
Are there any new lines in the catalog, or anything that even looks remotely new? Or is it mostly expanding on existing lines? Be particularly interested about new SW stuff in it. Cheers ...

Okay...It's starting to go up. [I'm slowly adding images :) ] {Usual warning about 400K images...} I've put up the cover and a few inner pages, and hope to get the rest up tomorrow night and over the weekend. [it's taking too long to upload at the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au, lugnet.general)
