Personally I am really disappointed at the new lego catalogues.  They don't
feel very organised, and don't detail the sets properly.  I believe that the
booklets from the years 1993-1998 (which are the only others that I have)
are excellent, with little boxes and descriptions of all the sets in
production that year.  This one feels more like an ad to me, and as a child
I can't imagine spending hours porring over every page, like I did to the
aforementioned '93-'98 booklets.  It's sad that even the booklets aren't as
high quality nowdays.

One thing I've learned on LUGNET is that things are always better 5 - 10

It seems to me that the only saving grace for lego at the moment is the Star
Wars line (although I don't mind the Alpha team line either).

There's more: try a Vampire Crypt (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1381) or a
Werewolf Ambush (http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1380). Both excellent sets, and
better value on a cents-per-part basis than Star Wars.

(Incidentally, has anyone sighted the other monster sets down under?)
