If you thought the 1990 catalogue that I updated yesterday was ancient, have a look at in the KALEIDOSCOPE section which is very pre-historic.

Europe at the beginning of the 90s was a very tumultuous place.  Communism was falling and the Berlin wall was coming down.  The sea of change affected not just countries, but the  catalogue for those countries.  Check out the 1990 Western European Catalogue and be amazed by the subtle changes taking place.

Yet another American  catalogue joins the burgeoning collection of catalogues on this site.  1989 was the year of the Pirates, but in the USA, it also marks something else in Lego history.  Check it out.

I'm more than half way past the review for the 2002 He-Man figures that I have with me.  Check out this review of the new 2002 Trap Jaw musing in the section and see if we have crowned a new Nostalgia Value champion.  This review is dedicated to chilli-chewing jaw, nutnog who is really a nice guy to laugh with... or is that laugh at?  Cory, thanks for sticking by me and I wish you all the best in your upcoming wedding.

A quick update to the KALEIDOSCOPE section to include some more mostly early 90s toy lines that will be coming soon, including the image for Mighty Max, which as you'll have noticed, have also been included in the animated logo on the front page.  Added one image to the page.

Another catalogues joins the "cast" of catalogue scans available here on the site.  Check out the 1988 United States catalogue to see what's up there.  Also, I'm missing two pages from that catalogue.  If anyone is kind enough to email me those scans, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.

Look up in the air!  Is it a bird?  Is it a monkey?  No it's Stratos.  Check out this review of the new 2002 Stratos musing in the section and see if it can knock Tri-Klops off the Nostalgia Value crown.  This review is dedicated to Stratos828 who really should go find a pair of feathery loincloth!

Mad Scientist aren't the only toy line with creepy crawlies.  Check out the page of the KALEIDOSCOPE section.

Remember the huge big list of catalogues I updated 3 days ago?  Well, I added the 1983 international catalogue to it.  Long story short?  I scored a 6950 X15 Satellite Launcher MIB at a really old toystore that nobody goes to anymore - they didn't have much toys left except for model cars.  I already have a 6950, but I noticed the catalogue that I didn't have and well, you know the story.  They also had a couple of boxes of Construx.  Maybe I'll go clean that shop out of good toys sometime soon.

Yesterday, we had our first submission to the site.  Today, we have the second! As far as I know this site was the first to bring you pictures of everyone's favourite   I was told that there were some toys that were gonna be and was not released, but could never find pictures until now.  Give Doctor Kent (now that's another Mad Scientist) kudos for these scans.  His scary toys page can be found in the acknowledgement page.

Wow, the first time this year that someone actually sent me pictures to put up on my site.  Check out the box art for the Fright Fighters in the Cardback and boxart section.  Thanks go to pH6 who sent me the scans - you can see his other stuff via the link in the acknowledgement page.
