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 (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

Argh! I *swear* I typed "lugnet.starwars", not "lugnet.space". Oh, well. Consider it cross-posted. (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I got it. It is a really 'in your face' brochure. it is printed on good paper too. I was very surprised, they must have spent some money on it. It was oversized too, more postage. Interesting how a lot of the bricks in the photo's were dinged (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) I don't have it handy, but it was 11"x11" or 12"x12", right? (...) Yeah, the LEGO photographers aren't as careful and painstaking as they used to be. I noticed some slightly-crooked stickers on the Republic Gunship, some bricks weren't seated (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Haven't got this one yet. Is there anything new aside from the Star Wars and Red Baron sets you mentioned? How about in the accessories and bulk packs? Bruce (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

From the mouth of a Lego Employee: ---...--- "The "2002 Special Edition" Catalog was printed in extreamly limited quantities and only sent to random entries in our mailing list. There are none left. Odds are, you won't get one yourself." I explained (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) WOW that makes me feel special. It totally rocks! I love the first page spread of the Republic Gunship. The measurements give me an idea of how really HUGE it is! It's wider than it is long! I may try to post some scans if anyone's interested. (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) Was the description of the Red Baron new? That was what really stood out to me---it was described as being from WWI. None of this "famous plane of the early part of the 20th century" nonsense we saw with the Sopwith Camel---TLC actually (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Nope. The entire 16 page (including both covers) catalog is devoted to the new and current Star Wars sets. The only mention of anything else is a gatefold insert, which displays the following sets: 10024 Red Baron 3739 Blacksmith Shop 10020 (...) (22 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.space)
