Can someone repost to Ninjago preliminary pics? I can't seem to find them anymore anywhere. I would like to compare. Thanks Andy

I didn't realize they were that rare. I saved almost every piece of scrap paper. I will go back through my stuff when I am in the States. But I did save all my catalogs from the 80s and 90s, so I if Shop-At-Home had catalogs in those years, I probably have them all (although I doubt they would be anymore more than "good" condition). I also have every Brick Kicks magazine starting from issue 1. I saved everything and had almost all lego things -- I used to have the Bank and the Mobile Crane from those magazines too, until I sold the parts to them. If they are really needed, I could scan mine, but I did not want to redo the effort. I figured with the amount of lego fans that someone would have undertaken the scanning already. I was surprised to find a lack of scanned catalogs online actually. Andy

Now I know there are a few small archives of catalog scans, like brickset and some others, but it seems that in general they are overall lacking. For example, obvious catalogs like the 1982 and 1984 US catalogs are missing and many others and it seems they have not been updated for quite some time (and the scan quality of many are horrendous). Does anyone know if there is an actively updated catalog scan database? I am also looking for scans of the Shop-at-Home magazines. I am surprised that I cannot find them online. I'm actually most interested in reading the official product descriptions for the sets - especially the castle sets as I would like to compile some sort of castle history.

Some of those space minifig ships and stations from the various years would be amazing to have. I wonder where they are currently located at.

This is a great topic. I noticed that many images though are since missing due to dead links... Has anyone made any sort of LEGO website which would compile all known prototypes together? If not, it might be something I would be willing to start... Here's a couple castle prototypes: http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/images/...iew/kk/8777.jpg http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/images/...iew/kk/8778.jpg Also some at the bottom of this gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=114939
