first of all, i didnt write what you quote me saying, i believe that was
cris, but i agree with him.

our point exactly!

and there you have it, "SOME".

yes it is, cause instead of wasting mony making these parts, they could sell
regular bricks cheaper like megabloks are doing.

DUPLO was meant to introduce the little brick to babies, jack stone isnt
doin that, there is no comparison, BESIDES DUPLO is still a proven basic
building block

im looking, richie, but its scarce, why you such a jackstoner fan anyways,
dont you like the basic brick? i dont understand why they introduced a new
line to go up against their own line, the minifig vs jackstone. i just want
cheaper sets, i work for a living and still cant afford to buy lego as much
as i want too. yeah, i know "get a better job" have you tried lately, more
layoffs than hirings, which is why i dont understand LEGO is introducing so
many different lines.
cheers to you too
