Another question. In my recently acquired Duplo grab bag there were some REALLY big house or building pieces: walls 1x11x6, with pocket doors that click open and shut, and roof pieces 1x11x4. Yellow with red roofs and brown doors. There were (...) (23 years ago, 17-Apr-01, to lugnet.duplo)

There are plenty of 3x2 curved pieces, but I don't think I've ever seen a plain 3x2 brick. As for 1x2, there are 1x2 bricks but they are twice the height of the average DUPLO brick. I've never seen them without something printed on them. I'll dig (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.duplo)
