Argh!  I *swear* I typed "lugnet.starwars", not "lugnet.space".  Oh, well.
Consider it cross-posted.

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?

Woo Hoo. I just got one in the mail today! I had given up on it but I got a nice suprise. The pictures are pretty nice and definitely a keeper. I will bring this to the next NELUG meeting if people would like... Eric Kingsley (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
