To All, I just picked this up yesterday (Filler for my train station project) and I got it for 9.97 at the Elkhart Indiana Wal-Mart. Is that the correct price, since it is chaper than the 70 piece Duplo bucket. Scott "Growing Duplo User" S. -- (22 years ago, 21-Jun-02, to lugnet.duplo)

(...) When I displayed Brickenbloom at the RichLUG train show in March, it was interesting to see the different reactions of people. Particularly amusing was the reaction of young boys who were adamant that did not like my house or train. Other (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.duplo)

(...) I had wondered about that too. I do think that some of the existing Duplo pieces are bordering on choking hazards anyway, things like the saucepan. I gather that technically they pass the relevant standards as safe otherwise they wouldn't be (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.duplo)

The available range is much more extensive today, but still not quite complete. The menus have been fixed up. Still no intelli-trains even though the Trains submenu has a "NEW!" tag affixed.
