VBBN Reviews: Lego Summer 2010 Product Catalogue

[VBBN]

I know what your thinking, your saying, "VBBN! Theres a new magazine out and you havent reviewed it!" Well rest assured, here we go.

Cover

Now when I saw this cover in my mailbox, I was in love. It really stands out. And I love that shuttle,looksalot like the one from the Discovery Channel lineofsets;

Inner Cover

Lego really hits it hard with the VIP program here.

Interesting pages

The fine looking shuttle, A preview for the Harry Potter game(I'm, no fan of Harry potter, but for thoseof you who are, there you go!, New castle, trains, Universe preorder,etc. I'll let the pics do the talking.

Brickmaster

Upcoming sets

Back

So all in all, a very hefty Magazine, and has quite a number of new items in it. If you don't get the product catalogues,I'd recommend getting a subscription. Anyways,enjoy.;D

I noticed this on LEGO.com earlier today, so I read it there. I haven't got it in the mail yet. It's kinda weird on how the online one doesn't have World Racers in it.

Nice review.

I hope i get mine soon, I'm getting annoyed when i have to go back and forth to the computer to look at some of the new sets when budgeting.

I received my copy of the Canadian S@H catalog a couple of days ago.

For those who are interested, here is a comparison against what is included in the US one that VBBN has shown:

-Perhaps it is a mistake, but the Fire Brigade is listed for $149.99 Canadian in the catalog (It's still listed at $199.99 online as of writing this. Either a price drop is on its way, or its just a mistake)

-The pages advertising the Prison Carriage Rescue, Knight's Showdown, Prison Tower Rescue, and battles packs are not present

-No page about the LEGO design challenge

-No racers (including the new Lamborghini)

-Finally, there is of course no ad for the Brickmaster subscription

The BrickMaster AT-AT looks very interesting - I'm glad I ordered a subscription already!

It's odd how TLG is advertising the VIP program like this, with the bars next to each and every price tag; just saying that you get 1 point per dollar would have worked.

I'm eager to receive my copy of the catalog! It's nice to be able to plan on what to get without having to go online

When I was younger and before one had the ability to use the internet to look up Lego, I used to carry my catalogs around with me just about everywhere I went. It was such a thrill to see all the latest products - the new themes and sets, the descriptions and captions pointing about the different play features, the piece counts, and of course the prices.

Even now with all the technology that we have at our fingertips, I still love to slowly flip through the newest calalogs to check out everything. Even though I've seen all the products and read reviews for many of them, there is still something very satisfying about having a physical catalog in your hands to be able to look up sets at any time.

Take advantage and order it. They'll probably be nice enough to sell it to you for $149.99 since it was advertised at that price, and since you are a valued customer.
