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
moment, and I need my beauty sleep.]

If there's any particular area/theme you'd like to see, let me know, and I'll
try and start there tomorrow night.
[I've scanned page 70 which shows a fair amount of detail of the "power
puller", and should help people know more about its engine. otherwise, it's
the first few pages, then a few even numbered pages, then page 70.]

Here's the location:

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 :)

So far it looks good. I will have to keep my eye out for one of these catalogs when they appear here in the west. One thing that I did notice was that there is a picture of what looks like lego rock raiders(?) for the game boy color. I didnt know (...)

  Re: 2000.2 Catalogue now out :)
 
Hi Benjamin, having seen the AUS version now, I think it's basically the same 2000.2 catalogue as the german [-European?] one, but there are also a couple of differences however. Nearly on every page you will find something which is slightly (...) (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au, lugnet.general)
