at amazon. A fairly good deal since Lego doesn't go on sale much.

i have to say-- i resisted DUPLO for a while (considering my willpower is zero on toys, it felt like a while to me anyhow), but i'm not sure why i did :)

we got this set for 14 and change during the aol/target sale and my child has played for quite a while 2 mornings in a row building "towers" and "buildings' and various "cars." the little lego man and her stuffed tiger actually had a picnic today at a "table" she built. most excellent toy!

i think i resisted because she hasn't been into blocks. (and we have MANY of varying kinds) the interlocking pieces is special and of course, she loves them.

*sigh* i see many more pieces in our future!

We love ours. I really want the 15x15 base, but it is TWENTY DOLLARS, for the ONE piece!!!!!! DD is playing with Duplo now!

Lego site has some stuff on sale...some Bob the Builder sets, small farm, etc. They also have this red base:

I know - it's crazy! Now I'm thinking I should get another for an upcoming birthday...

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting some, too. Sigh.....

I seriously think I'm going to go into sale deprivation once the holidays are over... what on earth am I going to do all day at my job, work??? :ROTFLMAO:

I got that 33 piece set above for only $7.25 with the Target deal. The bigger one that I think you're talking about (with 71 pieces) was only $15. The Target deal was still way better.

Oops, you're right! I got faked out by the box and didn't pay attention to the # of pieces.

Amazon has the 71 piece set for $19.85 right now, not as good as the Target deal was, but still seems decent... http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Duplo-5380-Building-Set/dp/B000SI6JEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1261168282&sr=8-1

I really wanted some kind of building blocks for my DS and I'm tempted, esp. w/no tax and FS.

I bought Mega Blocks this morning ($15) for 200 pieces but read about Prop 65 afterwards--may have some harmful chemicals leaching out... or not.. not sure.

But the duplos seem very safe, no such warning.

Should I wait a little longer for the price to drop more?

Also, mixed reviews about the beginner's set for $12.50--is it worth getting?

What's best to get when first starting out with these? So many choices...

[catpagmo]

The 71 piece set is $18.20 now. I'm really tempted, but I dunno. I don't have any legos yet. Not sure if DD will even like them.

[poppy]

Duplos are $18.14 now.

They were $17.50 over the weekend. I should have bought them then.

[Charlie]

Eh it's a difference of 64 cents. I say if you want them, get them! :)

Just in case anyone is wondering the Lego brand is one of the very few plastic toy companies I have ever read about in "non-toxic/green/environmentally friendly" articles and magazines, because their safety standards are so high.
Playmobile is one other one. So I feel very safe purchasing Legos & Duplos!

thanks, that's good to know.
i'm a huge fan of wood toys. any plastics we have were gifts. but sometimes you think a wood toy is high quality, but they sometimes have lead paint (M&D). i did buy some legos/duplos at the 50% target/aol sale and am excited.
