I could pick this apart piece by piece. For instance Duplo & regular bricks are
100% compatible. See:
http://www.brickmonster.com/brickmodels/model.asp?modelid=18
if you need convincing. Technic control center to Mindstorms is growth not
change for the sake of change. Lego has had a policy of being a toy that remains
constant through generations and it has been. It has growen in many ways but it
survives because it is constant. Far to many have invested to much in this hobby
to find this a laughing matter.-Ken

Oops, there’s a bug here that won’t let that link work. If you don’t know Duplo
is compatible go to:
http://www.brickmonster.com/brickmodels/
and click on the commemorative box car. Sorry about that, but sorry it’s still
not a laughing matter.-Ken

And you think the new colours won’t be compatible with old? Several people
have already said they can imagine the stone effects, etc that they could
achieve. I’m thinking of different segments, armour plating etc that I could
use on my Space Mocs, although, like all pieces, you don’t know what’s possible
‘til you hold it in the palm of your hand.

Is it ‘change for the sake of change’? I can’t see this, nor that Lego is doing
it for financial reasons. Just seems to me like a further refinement of a
product which has constantly undergone change since its inception, to get it
closer to whatever the designers’ ideal is.
I’ve invested too much time and money into this hobby to let seriousness get in
the way...

Not taking sides or anything, just wanted to point out another very cool use of
DUPLO (roof slopes and a vanity mirror piece) by Greg P.:
