Matthias - thanks for all the information. I appreciate you taking time to
help out with my project while performing your other chore. I have added
your information to the updated database - at least the info related to the
1x2 bricks. For right now I'm just going to continue to concentrate on
those primarily while logging some odd-sized bricks that I think go along
with the basic themes of the "regular" ones. I guess it's sort of an
emotional, open-to-change, ambiguous way to draw the line. For now though
I'm going to focus on the 1x2's.
Who knows though, by the time I'm finished with that project I'll probably
be so wrapped up in duplo that I'll be ready to tackle the expanded printed
brick cataloging. There are some pretty keen designs on the really odd
shaped bricks - especially the animals and clown ones.

I went ahead and listed this as a separate Telephone design in the database.

I added all of these to the database. If you could make some pictures of
these that would be great.

I really like eyeball bricks - both dupo and system sized. At some point I
want to use my collection of them in some kind of crazy LEGO stop motion
animation video.

Those face bricks are pretty freaky. I've got a couple of them. Otherwise
I'm not really that into the duplo figures at this point. Maybe if I
assemble all the ones I've accumulated so far and stare at them for a
while...(except for the crazy clown ones!)

The duplo animals are something I have an interest in as expressed in
previous posts. I plan to use some of them as advertising signs in mini-fig
scale settings (also my plan for many of the 1x2 printed bricks).
In looking back through messages in this newsgroup, I think I remember
seeing that someone else already has a duplo animals database. I've been
meaning to go looking for that because I want to find out about the
different types of chickens that are available.

Thanks again for the info and the offer to provide some pictures.
