If I remember correctly, the Product Book is the retail book given to
authorized retailers of LEGO. I think it is a violation of LEGO's
confidentiality code to post the scans as there are dealer prices on
them.

This is what LEGO has done to merge all their "basic" subthemes together
into one catch-all theme. I highly doubt the Train Shed will be in the
retailers catalogue, because it is deemed a "Shop @ Home Exclusive" (you
can only acquire this from Lego.Com and not from individual retailers,
except where deals have been already made (like certain sets at Toys R US
and Target).
As for surprises, we'll see what gets leaked out around November, unless
LEGO decides to reveal something at Brickfest. I clearly remember January
of 2002, when the Blacksmith Shop and the Sante Fe Engine were released
at a complete surprise. Though, I don't mind getting the info several months
before it gets released (so my wallet gets acclimated to the increase
spending in the brick!!) :)

Why not!!! Good use. I'll probably have to wait until next year, so I can
get the 50% off, or at least until January, when the Ebay gets flodded with
all those luscious discounts at other less demanded areas.
