1964 Idea Book (Revised)

While the original version dates to 1964, it's unclear if this was a revision within 1964 or in early 1965. This Idea Book has appeared in new-for-1965 sets.

Idea Book (Canadian)

I'm not quite sure of the date just yet. I'd guess anywhere between 1965-67, but I'm waiting for more Canadian sources for a more definitive answer.

Imaginations Inc. Order Catalog

While no form number is present, the catalog is likely from sometime in 1966 due to the pull toy being shown with it's finalized box(as all surviving 1965 documents only show the prototype box). It stopped in early 1967.

K-2202

1966 Idea Book (Early Version)

Rare early version similar to the 1961-65 idea books. It was likely replaced within the same year to cut costs, as the following version is one sheet vs. four.

K-2236

1966 Idea Book (With Prices)

Short-lived idea book produced in 1966 to replace K-2202, it was replaced in 1967 when prices/age ranges were no longer being added on LEGO sets.

K-2236R

1967 Idea Book (Removed Prices/Age Range)

Dated in relation to later K-2236R and earlier K-2202 and K-2236, and given how common this idea book is in 1967 Model Makers (especially in general compared to K-2202 and K-2236), this revision must have been done in 1967.

K-2236R

1968 Idea Book (Removed 042 Pull Toy)

Later revision of K-2236R to remove the 042 Pull Toy for the 1968 season, which was available from 1965 to 1967. Interestingly, while the 042 has been removed, sets retired/replaced in 1968 (002, 003, etc.) are still present.
