Heh- wow! I wasn't sure how much people would actually want these either.
My reason for wanting them is similar to Dan's- for archiving stuff made by
my kids (and a few by myself). But there are other reasons as well. For
large-scale construction, nothing beats Duplo for filler material. Lego's
builders often use basic Duplo bricks in sculptures, and at least 3 members
of my train club have used various Duplo parts integrated with regular
bricks in layouts. And I'm really stoked to be able to make instructions
for my train station so that I can toss it together quickly when I bring
Duplo to a show.
I'm hoping to get some Primo parts into the next update- there's probably
even less interest here, but I think it's still nice to have the parts
available.
