Wow! I got home last night, and found this beautiful, oversized
mini-catalog waiting for me. The front cover said, (quoting from memory)
"2002 Special Edition". I don't usually get excited about the S@H catalogs
(any more), but this is way cool! And it seems to be aimed at the AFOL
market -- it was addressed to me, not the kids. :)
It is obviously timed to coincide with SW2:AOTC. The main layouts are 100%
Star Wars; the center insert/order form has some of the LEGO Direct
exclusives (Red Baron, Breezeway Cafe, Blacksmith Shop, etc).
The layouts are all oversized, so you can see the details much better. I
don't think they shot any new photos for this book, and probably didn't
write any new copy. But it was a kick just to pour over all the pictures,
and do a little wishful drooling. And leaving the catalog lying around,
open to the RBR page was fun, too.[1]
So, did anyone else get this?

1) As previously mentioned, I have a weird idea of fun.
