Tell me about it... I just spent all my cash at the brickfest. There go
my "savings" toward flight to .il next year. Oh well, who cares... lego is
better than friends, no? ... <sigh>

Hmm. I see your point. On one hand, the Pooh sets where embedded in the duplo
range, but that doesn't mean that MM is automatically FL *or* Duplo. Or
system. Aaaah!!
Well, I guess we'll hafta wait and see... I guess there isn't too much info
about them yet.

That's because they're over-marketed and, well, non-legoish. IMHO.

Well, I never really had any FL sets, so I don't really know. But I have seen
a few, and my cousin has gave me her refrigerator (wowzers!) and other various
things, and I must say I like them a lot.

Oh, right. Didn't notice them. Well, they're not really duplo, more like Primo
(or Baby, as they're now called).
gotta sleep some...
