(...) (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'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)

(...) LUGNET leaves a lot to be desired as a single point of entry, I think.
