Each quarter a newsletter was issued featuring news, stories and updates of new releases. The “Colour Box Collector” was originally produced in black and white, however it wasn’t until 1989 that a full colour edition was launched. In 1991 the magazine received not only a new look but also a new name, “Collections and Reflections”. Often included with the magazines were a range of flyers and leaflets. Details where known are included in the list below.
