(...) I dunno-- "Duplo" is a brand name that lasted 25 years. Some of today's parents probably remember growing up with it. But "Explore" was only around for 2 years. Hardly as recognizable. Plus, "Duplo" is one of Lego's great brand names that (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

In part, this is because I have already heard-- from within my own family--concern that LEGO's quality control is slipping because "these bricks don't match." Consumers (...)

(...) I doubt that, Explore or Duplo, still the same stuff. Maybe they're going to kick Jack Stone's butt? (hope so). I think that pre-school is 4-6, and when I was young, I got wonderful sets such as 145 (lots of bricks, some roofs, some windows, (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

(...) OK, I had to think about this for a while - but it does raise a question: How do they determine how many PaB cups of bricks are in a carton? Do they just guestimate, or do they fill a cup and work off of that? Because, AFOLs (and kids!) who (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
