 | | New DUPLO bucket 4086
|
|
Hi, To my big surprice I saw a DUPLO (actually, Explore) bucket today, with the number 4086. This is the first time DUPLO moves into the 4xxx-numbers. The bucket itself contained 90 bricks, mostly basic bricks, with some trans-blue 2x4 and 2x2. (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.duplo)

OK, here's an example of a poll included right onto a LUGNET member page: (URL) do this, I simply added [Poll 14] at the bottom of that page.

| | New Explore sets, 3615
|
|
The new Explore sets are now promoted in Denmark; TRU has some of them on sale, e.g. 3615 Theatre. I don't like all the cardboards - they won't last long in the hands of a 3-year old. Anyway, there are some nice things in this set, such as swords (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.castle)

(...) I bought one yesterday (in Copenhagen); it's number is 4082. All the red and light green bricks were imprinted with "Duplo", while all the blue and yellow and trans-blue bricks has "Lego" imprints. Arne (22 years ago, 9-Jul-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)

I came across a 2-page piece in the June 2002 issue of "Specialty Toys & Gifts." It's by Carrie Casaceli, who's spokeswoman for the Americas panel of LLI (the LEGO Learning Institute). The article isn't online, so I'll quote some of it here. Much of (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.lego)

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)
