Catalogues included with Machine Robo Series, Robo Machine and Machine Men toys.
With most non-Gobots 600 Series scale figures a small, folded paper toy catalogue was included in addition to the selection printed on the blister card rear.
These catalogues were a kid's treasure as they often showcased a wider range of toys (at times all released models) vs. cardbacks displaying only the current assortment(s). The joy of crossing off those you had, those you hoped to get and trying to work out how they'd change form can't be understated!
While there was some crossover, the catalogues below are shown in year and most common packaging release order.

Entries finalised end of February 1983.
Text on the white page indicates that MR-07 Super Car Robo, MR-08 Buggy Robo and MR-09 Dump Robo are soon to be released. It goes on to say, 'a fire truck, bulldozer and Shinkansen, etc. are also under planning, please stay tuned'; no model numbers are listed for these upcoming releases.
