I haven't got one of those yet.

I did ask if they had any 1999 set info, catalogues, promo
brochures, anything! But they had nothing........If anywhere
in the UK would have anything, you would have thought it to
be there.... I bought 5928 in the hope of a 1999 A4 sheet, but
again, nothing......so much for putting on the web full-size,
300dpi scans.......

Well, those early "Next Year" sheets never come out in the UK because it is all
1998 stock, we won't get any 1999 stock until Jan 1999 - it's just the way it
is.  Remember their 5928 is made in the USA while ours is made in Denmark
which don't release the 1999 stuff early.

A few Western, Aquanaut, pneumatic logger and trains on a
clearance stand, where purchase of any of the sets gets you
a free UFO sweater. However, they were not on sale. Nothing

Do you mean they are at normal prices or not available to be bought?

They still have loads of 1857 950 brick value boxes, at full
price of GBP13.50, and ironically, right next to there newest brick boxes
of 848 at GBP20.00!

I knoe that really does my head in!

As there was a report of '99 sets being available in the US next week, I had
rushed
to Legoland to have a look...........all in all a waste of time.

Obviously, we never get anything early - in all my 8 years experience, well I
suppose it could have been different.
