I've just finished spending four hours cleaning my collection of Duplo
in order to give it to my son (18 months). I so happens that yesterday
I was reading about your quest for a catalog of printed Duplo pieces,
so while I was cleaning, I diverted anything and everything that was
printed. I must point out that I took you literally and separated
*everything* that had printing on it and in re-reading your message I
now note that you are concentrating on the 1x2 bricks. Perhaps you'll
consider expanding it to include all pieces that are printed? I have
55 printed pieces, of which four are listed on the Lugnet page you
specified. A fifth is a possibility (Yellow brick, red telephone, but
your database says it only has blue (iirc) buttons - mine has:
GYB
YBG

G,Y & B refer to colours, in case you hadn't guessed. Is this a new
telephone?
