My apologies for replying to my own post... I forgot to mention one thing
though.  If anyone from LEGO happens upon this thread, I think it's worth at
least *thinking* about publishing a parents copy of the Shop At Home catalog,
even if it's just once a year, before Christmas.  In other words, a catalog with
'big people' words in it, not the sort of "Wowee!!" stuff that is written for
kids.

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 it I thought it was a Godiva Chocolate gift catalog.
Yum!  My two favorite things-- chocolate and LEGO!  The catalog was impressive
and I hope they put out a similar one this year.

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 possibly distributed in only certain areas?

In what way was it aimed at adults?  I'm curious to know how it was different
than the regular catalog.

Regards,
Allan B.
