Perfect First Set of Duplos,
We had a really difficult time finding a decent starter set of Duplo bricks. They just don’t sell the simple sets in the stores anymore, which makes no sense because they are the BEST sets. So we ordered this set from Lego. For about half what they’re asking here. I’ve noticed a trend of Lego having the fairest prices of all the stores selling their products. Odd. Anyway, for anything Lego, I would definitely do some comparison shopping using the company website first.
With this set, I was concerned beforehand that there might not be a wide enough variety of pieces, despite the generous number (80 pieces total). This was due in great part to the fact that I couldn’t seem to find any photos of the side of the box where they give the detailed information and really this is the only information you’re wanting before making a rather sizable Lego purchase, right? Since no one else has mentioned this, I’ll show what a total geek I am by publishing these details.
Here’s the breakdown of the pieces by size:
56 2×2 peg square pieces
20 2×4 peg rectangular pieces
2 2×4 peg pieces (1/2 thickness of regular pieces)
1 2×6 peg long rectangular piece
1 2×8 peg ex-long rectangular piece
And by color!
14 red
13 each of green and yellow
12 blue
8 each of light green and orange
5 each of black and white
2 transparent blue 2×2 peg pieces
The transparent pieces were an immediate source of tension between my two daughters; they both love them. The entire set is fantastic. It’s just the right amount of pieces, and I didn’t feel like Lego was as stingy with the rectangles as in the previous ‘My First Lego Set’ we’d bought. Or maybe it’s just that we now finally have enough Legos to really build something! I do wish there had been a couple more large rectangles, and maybe a couple more transparent pieces, but that’s not really a gripe.
I think if you’re starting out with Duplos, there isn’t a better set out there with the right amount of creative, open-ended pieces and affordability. We would have started with this one had it been sold in stores. Another point in its favor, at least as far as I’m concerned, is that it was not made in China or Mexico, but rather in Denmark, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

|Legos Rock!,
My 14-month-old loves these Duplo blocks. Me too, for that matter. We can sit and build stuff for 30-40 minutes at a time, which is a remarkable feat of focus for him. The colors are great, the blocks are big enough to be safe and manageable in his little hands. I look forward to this being the starting point of a lifelong love of Legos for him (just like his papa!)

The same product is available [...]. It’s called LEGO® DUPLO® Basic Bricks – Deluxe.
update: when I wrote this review, this item cost about 2x more than it’s currently listed for. Glad to see the price dropped.
