(...) I am not seeing many Duplo bricks there - only one or two of the sets really has more than what looks like 3 bricks. I hope they have more bricks than they are showing.... Otherwise I am running out to the store and getting some duplo tubs (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-02, to lugnet.duplo)

Thanks Rob! Overall, I'm not that impressed with the new products, I hope there is more to it than that. Was interesting to note that the figures etc remain, I see Wendy's ponytail has made it onto standard Duplo figures. I quite liked the new frog (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.duplo)

(...) I just saw this bucket today too. It's different in its construction from prior buckets. It lacks a handle, having instead a curved lip around the rim. Also, the studs on the lid said, "LEGO" rather than "DUPLO". I was a little frustrated by (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.duplo)
