Hi Paul, thanks for sharing your ideas and thoughts about a future "umbrella" covering all the community ressources available on the web these days. Some times ago I had a similar discussion with Jake form LEGO Direct. I want to highlight two (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

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) !!
