(I've removed .general and X-posted this to .duplo instead.)

While 2909 looks like the most interesting of the new Action Wheelers to
me, it also appears rather specialised, i.e. you can build a helicopter
or a ... helicopter?  I've only seen pictures though, is this actually the
case? Hoping someone who has the new sets can shed some light on this.

One of the things I really liked about the original Toolo is that
most of it (admittedly not all) was made up of beams that could be
reconnected in many different ways to make other models, whereas these
pieces are rare in the new range and the apparently single use types are
in the majority.

I've just returned from Target in Box-Hill where I saw the first of the
Action wheelers. From what I saw, the sets appear compatible with toolo, so
for those who have toolo, these will provide more colour and parts to your
collection. One other difference is that these figures have a considerably
larger amount of printing on their faces than previous duplo figs have
[well, from what I remember of them]

The set I saw was 2909 which was a black and blue helicopter [as shown in
the teaser catalogue just under the description of the action wheelers] It
comes with about 15 (On the bottom of the box is a picture showing all the
parts included which I counted, and then as is usual for me, forgot) pieces
and was priced at $24.95 [GST price]
