| (...) It looks like Tyco. No LEGO on the studs you can see, and what looks like 1/2 thickness plates. This could be a construct using a variety of bits & pieces (megablocks, Tyco, Lego), but I don't think it is lego, and I really doubt Duplo. Think (...) (20 years ago, 30-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

BUT then I saw the new Duplo sets on S@H - well see for yourself: (URL) -- check the fig standing. So it looks like Lego is changing MORE (...)
