 | | Where has all the Duplo gone?
|
|
As a big AFOL and also a parent, I always make a point to scope out the Duplo section when shopping.

|

(...) Optimal cost is, I'm sure, a very difficult problem (probably NP-complete). But even ignoring shipping costs would be a good place to start.

At least not completely, because the market isn't a shifting one (at least not at the like LEGO/don't like LEGO level) I'm just drawing the analogy to the very first people in that model that take something up (...)

(...) Minor detail: not all LUGNET members are AFOLs, since AFOL stands for Adult Fan Of LEGO and only people 18+ are adults. I am a TFOL, by the way, and what you would call a 'serious AFOL' Nathan Wells (22 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)
