A Duplo Economy

Guess what it causing more fights in my house than anything else?




This red Duplo half-brick. Apparently it is the ONLY way to build one of these....







Or one of these......




It is the gold of the Duplo economy because there are only 3 red half-bricks.


I almost threw this Duplo set out because I thought the kids had out grown it.


But they've been happily occupied for 3 weeks now. So Lego will have to rewrite the the Duplo Box Label which states: Ages 1/2 - 5.


Here you go-

"DUPLOS! Good for 4-12 year olds. Extra half-bricks not included."
