Seeing the interest that the MM9 Kit has generated I figured some new fans of the topic may enjoy seeing some entires from the last 10 years. So I'm grabbing my camera and showing you some pics of my little collection ^_^ I'm not a reporter (I'm just an obsessive fan, aren't we all?), so I doubt I have anything resembling a complete collection. But considering the absurd rarity of these, chances are most of you have never even seen one ^_^;
The 2007 disc was pretty plain. I'm not sure why it sported it's beach shot, and it was just packaged in a tyvek sleeve. It featured some excellent content being on a DVD though.
The 2006 disc came out at the height of E3. I don't have any real numbers, but afaik video game companies were making kits with runs in the thousands. Making this disc somewhat common, if any could be called common.
The 2005 kit was hella nice, coming with a thick color product catalog. It was normal for kits this old to come with catalogs. I imagine newer kits excluded them because printing a book is likely more expensive then pressing a CD.
The 2004 kit only came with a Mini-CD. While it was super cute to look at, the content on it was kinda slim seeing as it didn't have much space. The catalog was nice though =)
Ahhhhh, I only have a catalog from 2003 ;_; No idea if they actually made an asset disc. They didn't necessarily hand out a CD to every attendee, so it's possible one exists.
Unlike 2003, I've only acquired an asset disc for 2002 ^_^; Again, no idea if they made a catalog, me not having one is no proof one doesn't exist.
Heh, my 2001 kit comes with both a product catalog and an asset disc =) It's my earliest Capcom disc though. Companies generally didn't make simple asset discs before 2000/2001. They made nutty stuff like picture slides, seriously, I have RE screenshots on slides. I can't even think of how magazines published pictures they received O_o
The 2000 kit is pretty awesome, it comes in a spiral-bound book containing physical press releases and contact information, should you wish to phone up Capcom's PR reps. The pics should be way too small for you to make out any info ^_^;
Last up is a simple catalog going waaaaay back to '98. I wish I could snap pics of all the pages, it's pretty damned cool =)
So that's it, I hope you enjoyed this post! Certainly none of these kits are even close to as cool as the MM9 one, but they are fun to look at none the less ^_^

true, but glues also like cheating. and as it is, if he falls apart, no damage done. when you glue legos the legos themselves will break if you drop the piece.
