Like my magazines, the catalogs are stored in a sheet protector and then put into a binder.

I keep mine so I can compare prices when I stumble across older sets.

I keep them in my drawer along with my magazines. Occasionally, I browse through some of the older catalogs.

They always give a 10% coupon on the back and my friends say I'm silly for not tearing them off and using them...but I have every catalog from spring 2009 on, and I plan on keeping all the ones I get.

There are people in this forum that would kill for that coupon.

I remember someone mentioning before that the coupons only appeared in US catalogs, and not in any of the ones distributed in Canada. Has that changed?

My kids take them to their rooms, the car, their backpacks, etc. Eventually the very worn, ripped, beaten and bruised catalogs find their way to the recycle bin after much love. They cut out some of the pictures and make their own posters too. My youngest pulled out his favourite last night with the Ninjago fire temple on the cover and looked through it for about half an hour.

I love these catalogs. Reminds me of when I used to look through the sears catalog. I actually found a lego catalog from the late 80s. Brings so much memories. So yes, I keep them in a pile. same with the calendars.

I have a dedicated 4 drawer filing cabinet for catalogs and old building instructions. I've got every US catalog since '93 as well as an assortment of mini-flyers of featured sets that they stick in the box when shipping from SAH. Perhaps I need counseling, but I pretty much save everything but the bags the parts come in and the shipping containers; I even have a separate mail archive for SAH emails.
