(...) (snip) (...) I wasn't sure when I wrote that (TLG just put DUPLO stickers on EXPLORE boxes as a temporary clarification), but now it turns out to be very clear, with DUPLO and QUATTRO now officially (re)launched. Eric Brok (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

TLC has confirmed, that the name DUPLO is to be re-launched for pre-school bricks. The change from DUPLO to Lego Explore has costed the company about a billion Danish Kroner. The article (in Danish!): (URL) Copenhagen (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.duplo) !!

(...) This is *very* peculiar. In the Danish catalog the Spider Man and HP figs clearly show 'natural' skin tones. This was already hinted on by TLC, so it's very unlikely to be a printing or lighting glitch. But the new dutch catalog which the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I disagree. I think it's standard yellow and blame the different hue on clever lighting when the photo was taken. Christian (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I've had mixed feelings about this, but now I am prepared to welcome the changes. While I love yellow minifigs, I believe having the chance to see skin-toned figures will enhance the realism of the LEGO line. -Tim (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) While this may be the "ideal" scenerio, it is also the one that is least likely to happen. Todd and Suz have done a great thing here with Lugnet. Lets keep in mind, however, that Lugnet was SUPPOSED to be the all-encompasing site for Lego fans (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX) !

(...) Minifigs are one of the huge appeal of Lego, at least to people from my generation. (The first sets I had had the armless variety.) Mucking with that doesn't seem like a great idea to me either. (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I think he's saying that if you want fleshtoned figures that have some of the other features you ask for, maybe Playmobil may suit your needs better. I'm not sure I agree. but I am also not sure I think that changing from yellow to fleshtones (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) LUGNET leaves a lot to be desired as a single point of entry, I think. It's confusing to navigate - especially for newbies, and doesn't do a good job of linking out to other sites from obvious places - ie guide.lugnet.com/shop doesn't even (...)
