80s Slotta Who had the Citadel Miniatures Catalogues?
Section 1 (blue), 2 (red), 3 (green) and 4 (black).
Could spend hours flicking through these.
Eldar were my favourites.

Cool.
Many of the catalogues are also on The Stuff of Legends website & the collectors guides are on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki.

Had a couple because a friend of the family got them from trade shows. No idea what happened to them but my mums loft is a strong hope.

Had? Still have them; well 1, 2 and 4. Don't think i ever had #3. Have some of the Mail Order Trollz foldout price sheets too; they'll make your eyes pop out in disbelief 😃

I used to borrow them from a friend to pour over! Wish I'd ordered more from them now - we didnt know how good we had it at the time!

Got 1, 2, and 3. Missing the black catalogue but have acquired an extra green one.
Absolutely adored scrolling through them over the years.

I used to have a green one. I remember drooling over that catalog and begging to get it. We played dnd as a family so that felt like it was a possibility. I was informed as a child that it was "a rich person's game"... they weren't wrong lol.

Loved the early ones with line drawings of the figures and their names!

Yes, those were the early Citadel Compendiums. First, Second (line drawings) and Third (photographs) then there were the four Citadel Journals. I have them all too!

Oh, very cool! Would love to see them again! Was there a well done cartoon in the Journals about a good chaos warrior fighting in the northern Warhammer world, armed with an axe that sucked out souls? Don’t think they ever finished the story, but remember the illustration and darkness of it all was very British 80s/Threads/Wickerman/The Mad Death.

I had all of them, but gifted them to someone at our local club least year.

Still have 3 of them.... though the red and blue ones are coverless in a binder. Think I may still have the price list somewhere too! The black one is in a bookcase somewhere... never had the green one.

I think I have at least one still floating around, and yes, my knees hurt too!

My group had em and would pool together our wishlist and do a yearly order to England with the Mail Order Trolls for individual bits for conversions or to complete old minis.
