(...) They did something like this last year. Not exactly for group orders but definitely aimed at the adults. Remember The Greatest Gifts for 2003 catalog that had the gold LEGO brick with the red and gold ribbon around it? When I first glanced at (...)

(...) I can't say that I remember that one. I just pulled out my 'Holiday 2003' catalog and it's got a kid on the front looking at a catalog with his own picture on the front. What time of year did the 'Greatest Gifts' version come out? Was it (...) (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.lego)

(...) I got one. I agree with Maggie's characterization of the types of sets featured in it. Further, I feel the same way about the targeting, (with no hard evidence, but with a strong feeling) that she does, it was targeted at adults.
