Frank Brickowski Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 On its way to 100 supports, half of the distance is reached now - so "only" 49 more supporters are needed to reach the milestone of 100 and get 365 additional days. The project is also being featured in this article now:http://zusammengebaut.com/lego-news-von-unseren-lesern-9-angebote-und-neue-ideen-33416/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what TLG is up to in the end? Parents and grandparents aren't buying a $150 set for Timmy two year old who's just going to strew 150+ blocks all over the floor after the parent just spent 2 hours building it. I built a really elaborate castle and Dragon out of school for my kids when they were napping one time. In 10 minutes after they woke up, it was smashed and the parts all over the floor forgotten about. Kids wanted themed duplo for the figures. You may have some few parents who think their toddler is a genius and deserve this set since it will teach them about government, but that's a small percentage of parents. Most will look at this and megabloks and just get what's cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Cool set, but how many 3 year old are going to build that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then their kids will play with it - pretty usual for Duplo, I'd say, or not? 3 hours ago, bigboy61 said: Who even reads that? What do you mean?

minicoopers11 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 You Duplo haters have the wrong opinion. LEGO would be wise to do this. In the wise words of 50 Cent, "If they hate, let them hate, then watch the money pile up." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, then I can tell you: It's like I said - DUPLO sets aren't built by children, but by their parents. So it doesn't matter for the kids if the build is "complex" or not. They are interested in the play features and play value, and this DUPLO White House has a lot of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
