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 scale of LEGO DUPLO (which itself is 2x the scale of LEGO SYSTEM -- hence the "du-"). LEGO PRIMO, on the other hand, is 3x the scale (sideways, but not vertically) of LEGO DUPLO and 6x the scale of LEGO SYSTEM. At a size of 6x, you have to wonder whether they considered calling it HEXPLO or SEXPLO before deciding on PRIMO. ;-) --Todd

(...) maybe some guy at TLG are portuguese. DUPLO means "double" QUATRO means "four (4)" but PRIMO means "cousin" :) i think PRIMO means "first" in italian LBaixinho (20 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.duplo)
