I haven't seen many, but it was pretty pointless. I am glad I didn't pay to
join. What I liked was the cover letter describing it as 'the first awesome
issue for 2001', if the rest are just as 'awesome' as this one, don't bother!
I think we should write a letter in the 'Dear Lego' newsgroup and complain
about it. Surely they could borrow more content from the US/Europe
versions, they have 3 months between issues after all. Most of it seemed
like larger versions of pages from the catalogue.

Probably not much of that at all, unless they get S@H going here.

I'm sure they could have found some sets lying around (even junk ones) to
put together a special offer.
From the looks of this offering, either they don't have enough members to
make it worthwhile them spending a lot of effort on it, or they couldn't be
bothered, you decide!
