(...) I think LEGO QUATRO is a great idea! Smaller than PRIMO, yet bigger than DUPLO. And hopefully much more compatible with SYSTEM than PRIMO is. From the pictures, it looks like this is 4x the scale of LEGO SYSTEM (hence the "quat-") and 2x the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.duplo)

I can't believe we are already a month into 2004. In fact, I’m not entirely sure where 2003 went! Certainly lots of changes in 2003, and change can often lead to uncertainty.
