I was just at a local Bartell Drugs and came across Duplo Zooters for the first time. Goofy little sets, but my 2 year-old and my 6 year-old are having a lot of fun with them. They only had the green Goozle 3263 and the red Tez 3264, for $9.99 each. (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jan-04, to lugnet.duplo)

I'd heard that the change of name from Duplo had been received very badly in Lego's traditional markets of Germany and Denmark. It's a poor show though for any modern company that there's so much inertia (read: spent money) in a re-branding that (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.duplo, FTX)

Hi, I've bought my 2.5 years old son 3273 Lofty crane. Set is nice, but the problem is that front and back parts of the car chassis are too easy to disconnect. It's not possible by 'drive' it by the cabin, nor lift it in the air - the parts go apart (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.duplo)
