2990 - Tiggers treehouse:
This is cute but as I don't collect this theme I'll leave it to someone who
does to comment.


My personal opinion ( rant, rave....)here is that bringing out Duplo in
Disney characters kinda stifles imaginative play somewhat, instead of creating
their own stories winnie will do what winnie does.
Whatever happened to the art of creative play?
Every kid who knows these stories will merely re-enact the videos and books
with thier Duplo charactors.(though I have to say the stories themselves are
wonderful, but not the incredible lineup of winnie the pooh toys form every
major toy manufacturer) however, this defeats what I see as the main role that
Duplo plays, that everyday, the constructions and role playing changes to
reflect the childs experiences.
Duplo is not a tool to reenact videos and movies, IMHO.
Whew, glad I got that off my chest!



Just a general comment about the Pooh theme. I do not like the characters so
much, but then, you get many cool parts with this theme that do not come
in other sets. The birthday cake and the present box come to mind. Personally,
I will by the sets if they are selling for a good price, and then sell whatever
characters I do not  like. The little forest friend is awful in not having
many cool parts in it- plus these disgusting creatures.
