At Walmart today in Greensboro,NC , I purchased 2 small new to me Duplo sets. I do not usually buy Duplo, but they were packaged in clear plastic canisters with various colored molded scenic tops. Canisters are approximately 6 inches tall. The lid (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.duplo)

The 48x48 gray baseplate got a new number once. I was able to buy several hundred at clearance prices because they had the old discontinued number on them. I would hardly call them re-released, though. Mike Poindexter Erik Olson <olsone@spamcop.net> (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.duplo)

Town sets from 1978 got new dates when their packaging was changed. They weren't discontinued, just refreshed. (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.duplo)

(...) I guess it all depends on how you define a discontinued set, and even what constitutes a re-release (and does a set have to be discontinued to be re-released?). If we define a set with more than one copyright date as a re-release, then there (...) (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.duplo)

Hi all, although we shouldn't be optimistic becuase the small fact I found out today, I still can't wait to tell you about it! Today, I *might* have found the very first re-released discontinued set ever. It's nothing important IMHO as it's been (...)

I am looking for two 5024's. They were on S@H specials last month and they no longer are available. Could someone sell me one or two at a reasonable price? These are the Duplo train start/stop switches with the reversing element. Thanks, Rose (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.duplo)
