Today I was talking to the Lego rep. in Brisbane, Australia (who was
very friendly) and I told him that I'd seen three of the catalogues for
2001. He said that he'd only seen the range a fortnight ago (around when
we did) and mentioned some of the new stuff.

What we haven't seen so far:
Harry Potter Lego (we all know it's coming though)
Bob the Builder Lego
New soccer set's (I'm not sure if these are in the catalogue's that are
out now)

and...

A remote controlled F14-Tomcat retailing for about $1200AUD(maybe USD)
(although we won't see it in Aus).

Just thought I'd pass that on to the LUGNET community.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info :-) New soccer sets. Woohoo! :-) Just
one question: How on earth is a plane made of Lego ever going to get
airborne. Assuming it is the size of regular RC planes, if it were made of
Lego it would weight almost as much as the UCS X-Wing. It will need a heck
of a big motor...

(...) Get real! They would make a whole slew of new huge pieces that wouldn't even be *close* to real Lego. There would probably be a dozen plastic panels that snap together... and then you'd pay $200 for the motor. (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001)
