But what I have noticed is that (at least in Singapore), the amount of shelf space allocated to Duplo is now miniscule. Just one tub and train set (...)

On the placard next to the cabinet in the first picture it says "10 of these drives were assembled and placed in a low cost cabinet" (or something to that effect) Well if it was low cost, that must mean it was definitely Mega (...)

| (...) One of the things that made me question it are the figs. Those are NOT Duplo figs as we know them.... BUT then I saw the new Duplo sets on S@H - well see for yourself: (URL) -- check the fig standing. So it looks like Lego is changing MORE (...)
