    I love seeing all this stuff, makes me more nostalgic than the actually toys for some reason.

    A couple of Tangential but related points & requests

    The booklet format used in Germany in 1990 and the UK in 1991-3 isn't exclusive to Transformers: GI Joe uses it too:

    1990 Germany www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/albums/72157715305562953

    1991 UK www.flickr.com/photos/philip_ayres/albums/72157715304420146

    There may be others for GI Joe and indeed may be other years and languages for the Transformers booklets too - if anyone has scans can they provide?

    Save for the 1994 poster upthread and a 1993 US Sweepstake promo I've never seen anything approaching a public G2 catalogue in Europe or the US - if there is one can anyone provide?

    What I do have is the US 1995 Toy Fair catalogue, which has some interesting images in it - you can see them at Toy Fair 1995 Catalog Scans Featuring Unreleased Transformers Generation 2 Toys - Transformers News - TFW2005 - but there's also a UK Toyfair brochure. I've got a B&W photocopy but I know I've seen scans SOMEWHERE - can anyone help?

    EDIT: found it! Obscure Transformers Website - Toy Fair Catalogs

    And finally Mr @Nevermore's thread 1995: The year Hasbro discovered "waves" is well worth reading for images of many Euro toys and packaging around this time.
